  • My first action sequence. Pretty hard to write. Nightshade didn't have a name at the time, up until the moment I wrote those lines. I couldn't have hoped for better. Names. They're hard to create. There is going to be a HUGE cast by the end. Naming just the major characters will be hard... and some of the inconsequential characters need names too.

  • I cut it close with the Chapter length. But I was right, action can be difficult to write. The dialogue between Stark and Nightshade was re-written plenty of times too. I'm not sure how explicit I want the dialogue to be, but I did have to re-do Nightshade's so it was a little bit harsher than I originally had.

  • Writing prayers is hard too. I just wrote down a jumble of words that I felt paladins should be dedicated towards, and somehow it eventually collected itself from one giant mess to the final structured format. Very happy with the calligraphy too. It doesn't look all that bad.

  • 07-21-2009 - I didn't start recording my revisions until after I was into Volume 2, so I'm guessing a new default starting point for all Volume 1 chapters to be at 1.50. Rewrite to version 1.75. Lots of minor changes, with a couple paragraphs that I felt needed work, and one slight functional change. A net change of -17 words to 1,006.
