Dreams in Autumn: Blog

Currently working through it in earnest. Just to let you know, this could easily go dark and I could use it as a whole, with the first chapter included, as part of the Halloween writing contest. Although to be fair I have no context for how dark those get, is there a reference to last years winner somewhere? I haven't checked out the link yet that's why I feel I should ask.

Well, until later and yes I'm still writing, the focus is just very scattered amongst more than one story and abit sporadic but in a good way. Hopefully the next blog update is me announcing I've submitted something, I'll try and include art but it's pretty hard to apply any in context in concerns to a visual medium I can generate at the moment, in repsect to what I'm writing and I haven't finished it yet, so yeah. Until then thank you for your time and patience.

Reposted the story after seeing a chance for some revisions, nothing major just some small things. The outcome is still the same as before.

Working on the next chapter, with the working title title "The Meat of It". Have contacted the moderators about why the previous reposts for "The Wicked Few" haven't gone through, yet, will try again and yeah, that's it, cya ina few hours, wish me luck.

Re-read the last few paragraphs and edited the latest chapter abit. Nothing world ending, just a few edits I should have made before and even cleaned it up a little bit. I've reposted the chapter with the same image, so it's just a matter of time for it to go through the submission process.

Let me advise you now, the ending is still the same, so nothing has really changed, just the delivery of the final lines and some small housekeeping touches in the conversation between Fatima and Amunet in the meeting and then Hassan and Fatima at the end.

Let me know with your input where you'd like this story or any story to lead to in the future, if you noticed any other mistakes or plot holes etc, you think are worth noticing and I'll gladly take your constructive emails and comments into consideration, really.

As always though, thank you for your time and patience.

It took longer than I expected with revising and adding 4 extra pages which now lets it sit at 18 pages total.

The reason for this is the added conclusion to events I didn't want to add to a fresh chapter, knowing it would maybe add up to a handful of pages at most.

Luckily I was able to add, make sense of and hopefully if need be allow myself to add another chapter to this story in the future through how I ended it. But all in all I'm as always unsure how far a story can go.

Sorry for the unexpected long wait, I've even added some art at the beginning to allow for some added fleshing out of one character in particular, no matter how minor she might seem to be this late in the story. Still I felt it necessary.

To anyone out there reading this, thank you for your time and patience, as always.

Its written now, I just have to so some checking for spelling, grammar.

Its fourteen pages, which I'm proud of, seeing as I only started with 6-8 roughly, and also longer than any individual chapter posted so far, which is nice. Its not the end though and I still have to fit in a sort of tie-in phrase or term within this chapter, which will act as the title of the following one, as I did with the previous chapters, if not exactly then in general.

If you notice the pattern forming from when I post these blogs, it's because I undboutedly seem to get the best hours to work at night when nothing is stirring, in comparison to when I try to do the same during the day, which is the opposite for me.

I think the majority of the experience is just re-writing....and the personal touches. Those are nice and in my case I want to include them as often as possible, but unfortunately in this stories context I don't speak or know how to write in Arabic so I have to pick up what I can from the internet and hope its flexible enough to add to the story rather than take away from it. If anyone more knowledgeable can chime in there'll be specific if minute phrases here, you'll find aren't supposed to be over elaborate or anything of that sort of nature, just like I said, small touches.

Anyway thanks for any input you guys might have, please be patient with me as I try and produce more stories and follow-up on those I already have, and yeah all comments are on and set to public mode on the account manager so your more than welcome to offer your opinions, input, anything that helps. Thanks again for your time and patience.
