New update plans.

I think I'm going to update before I go to bed now since I have 6 people that faithfully read it before I get up at 4 in the morning. I have to go to bed early and get up early and my lappy takes about 20 mintues to boot up if I shut it down so it's a bit of a hassle to post before I go to work in the morning. So, before I go to bed I will update starting now... which is why tomorrow's update is up tonight.

Yay, right? It's still daily. Swear.

Good news!

The good news is this: I have chapter 49 finished and even partially edited. It's always so hard to tell. I'll have to come back to it in a week and see if it really is up to snuff. You know how it is. Everything is a lot crappier a few days after you finish it. The new wears off or something. So it's done and I still have to figure out how to work this whole thing so that the table of contents does not get out of control. I'm thinking of editing the first few chapters and moving it to another blog specifically designated for the first part of the story. I have no idea how to do web pages, so if anyone has any ideas that exclude those things that'd be great. It's been over 4 years since I've even thought of html.

Sorry again

All right. The Mummy 3 comes out tonight, and my parents, brother, husband and I are all going to go see the movie. We have to run to the store and I'm probably going to pass out when I get home. I don't know if I'm going to find the time to write anything to post tomorrow. Since I suspect not, you're probably going to get another Gold Mine. I can barely focus on this post right now.

Sorry, sorry, sorry.

But on the bright side it should be a good little intermission between one part and another.

Thank you

I just want to thank the people that do read Enchanting Scales. I know that it is a bit rough around the edges and needs some major editing, and I am working on that. Thank you for your patience and for saving me on that delicious site. I did not even know it existed until I made project wonderful, but it makes me feel warm and fuzzy that 2 of my 30ish readers saved me. That's a pretty rockin' percentage.

I hope you liked the filler story yesterday, but now it's time for the real deal.

Just so that everyone knows this portion of Enchanting Scales is coming to a close. I'm going to have to find a way to redesign the Table of Contents on the blog to read something like Part 1 and then only show you Part 1 chapters. If I had any computer smarts beyond using applications already available to me I would make my own website... but I don't. Sadly.

Bear with me.

Short or long?

Either chapter 47 is going to be very long or very short. I'm not sure yet. My energy levels are telling me that it's going to be short. Work was the total suck today and my wrist has a cut on it where it rests on my laptop. I've also have the attention span of a rat right now. If I am not satisfied with 47 by the time I go to bed tonight (or at least remotely satisfied as in it sounds all right). It's not going to be perfect. Nothing I write is...

By the way, it's hard to write with the characters in the dark... I should use it to get good at writing about scents and sounds and touch, but damn it all.. I suck at it a lot. When I go back and edit, I hope it will end up better. Exercises never translate well when I start having dialogue.

Grrrrr

Anyhow... if not I'll post something else for a filler.

Navigation

I have gone through the ever so tedious process of making the chapters easier to go through. If you haven't figured out how to use the "New Post" and "Older Post" options at the bottom of the page, then I have something that spells it out a little bit more there. I'm not hatin' though. I read all of Magician's Merger before I figured out about the newer and older thing. It's a bit backwards for us Americans anyway.

I hope you find it more enjoyable.

Dreams

I had the strangest dreams this morning. They totally messed with my head. My head messed with my head. When I was dreaming I remember thinking, "This would make a wickedly confusing short story." And then the second go around I thought, "Oh, I must have watched this on TV." Having the same disturbing dream twice in the same sleep kind of sucks. Especially when you get to die in it.
