Done! Finally!

Journal Entry: Mon Oct 15, 2007, 3:09 PM


I finally finished the story I've been working on since I finished the last Icetouched story. :w00t: It's my longest yet weighing in at between 31000 and 32000 words at the first draft. Alright I got it up today rather than yesterday ^^;. I extended the ending while going over it since I felt it was too abrupt before the epilogue. So I added a large chunk onto it to give the main story and the epilogue some kind of link.



I intend to upload two version of it. First one going up will be the 'uncut' version which will be erm... very mature (No, it's not erotica... I don't do that kind of thing >_> ). The uncut one shouldn't be. It's just a matter of deciding what I feel can be removed with out detracting from the story too much (The uncut one will definitely be the story I want to tell.) Reason I'm doing two versions is that I say some things in it I've been wanting to say for a while and I don't want to exclude people from the chance of see it. It's also my most overtly Christian story to date... ironic really.

Thank you very much to :iconyoshi86: for fixing the German in it. :thanks:

Now that I've finally got that out the way. I can finally begin preparations for NaNoWriMo in November. I'm definitely not going to fail! :nod:

===================



EDIT: So does no one else want to be featured? Come on I have quite a few watchers and it's free ;)

===================

Taken from :iconredrum-110:

This is an idea I nicked from Iscribe; basically I will browse the galleries of the first fifteen people who want me to and select my favourite three deviantions from their gallery, giving reasons why they're my favourites :deviation: It would be much appreciated if anyone who wants me to peruse their gallery would copy this into their own journal but it's not essential.

I can't promise to get this done quickly as this could be a fairly busy week for me. I had an interview with James Irlam Logistics yesterday and they haven't got back to me yet. Plus I've got an interview with Stoke-on-Trent college for an apprenticeship on Thursday and then there's work and computer class and well, you get the idea...

Anyway, since I took this from Iscribe, I'll sort out her stuff first and I'll look forward to going through everyones' artworks. Please say if you want to be featured on here.
:gallery:


So who's up for it?

:iconredrum-110: redruM-110 is a writer from Stoke-on-Trent who has the insane ambition to write something for every literature category in existence. Good luck with that ;).
:bulletred: Horror Fiction/General Fiction
First of his stories I read and still my favourite. Excellent imagery and I like the main character.
:bulletred: The Feast Fiction/Horror
An excellent take on a modern fairy tale. Very grim but a good read.
:bulletred: Circus Mirrors Poetry/Fixed
The unusual distinction of being a poem I can relate to.

:iconmygreymatter: mygreymatter is a photographer from America. She has a huge collection of photos many of which are very good :nod:.
:bulletred: Conjurer Photography/Horror&Macabre
I really like this picture for some reason. The lighting is excellent. Good choice of scenery.
:bulletred: Contemplation Photography/Emotive Portraits
I'm a sucker for lighting when it comes to pictures and I really love the lighting in this one too.
:bulletred: No Children Here Photography/Horror&Macabre
This is beautifully eerie. The choice of taking the picture in monochrome was perfect.

:iconyoshi86: Yoshi86 is an artist from Germany who keeps getting threatened by me to upload more stuff to his gallery ;p. His gallery isn't the biggest but it's really good.
Halbelfe Traditional/Drawings/Fantasy
I really like this pic. I think it's just really well done.
Yoshi86 sketches_Sidney Traditional/Drawings/Fantasy
This is my favourite of Yoshi's. Sidney looks awesome although that little girl is really really small ;).
Rest My Love Traditional/Drawings/Fantasy
I really like this pic. Feel really sorry for the girl in it :nod:. Very nice line art too.


=================



Visit these people because they're awesome:

:iconrephaim-gg: He's my brother and a much better writer than me. He deserves to be seen.
:iconsasjhwa: He has a cool webcomic and he has edited my stuff before :).
:iconleash1994: Awesome artist and writer who has lots of potential to be amazing. At such a young age her abilities are amazing. :nod:
:iconwolfool: Her gallery is really cool (especially her writing) and comments on almost all of my recent stuff which is much appreciated :thanks:.
:iconemperorschampion: His gallery is really good. I wish he'd just add more to it :).
:iconyoshi86: He actually has the stamina to work from the beginning of my gallery. He deserves credit for that and also for having a pretty good gallery too ;)
:iconwriters-guild-da: A guild I'm part of. I won the prose competition there!
:iconwritersapprentices: I'm a Master of Prose there, apparently, so if you're signed up there then I'm technically obligated to look over your stories (I don't mind anyway) ;).
:iconvisuallit: Another club I'm part of.
:iconstory-club: I administrate on this club. Check it out. :)
:iconwordcount: They just keep on coming don't they?

Don't feel bad about it. I've got quite a few things I should be reading, that I promised I would. Like your stories for instance ;).

"Nicht Bereit"
Like the title.^^
So I won't miss anything by only reading the uncut version?

Nothing really... I intend really only to remove some details which push it over the edge into the mature category. It'll probably be a little less vivid in some of its descriptions because of it but you can let your imagination make up for it if you're willing ;). I won't cut out any plot elements though.
