I'm going to try to give updates to what's going on every Sundays
maybe also make them life updates. dunno, we'll see what happens.
this week was about half editing, and half writing. Depression hit last weekend, and made things . . . interesting.
On the writing side, I wrote three pieces.
2 are part of an attempt at writing a TV like family drama, with my twist on it, as usual.
the working title is 'Mixed bag' because it's a family composed of two father, a wold and a fox, and three sons, a lion, a squirrel, and a badger. the fathers are retired thieves, and have powers.
as I have no idea how a family drama is suppose to be structured, this is going to require research.
what've written at this point is two random scenes to get a feel for the characters

The other came out of drawing a total blank on what to write, and having no energy to inspiration to work on what was already started, so I asked a guy I know online to give me something to write about
after a bit of help structuring it, the initial offering was 'write a mystery'. this is what he came up with. "An ordinary guy wakes up to find his lover dead. the lover was a cop, and he was killed because of an investigation he was doing. the city is mostly run by the criminal element." I've paraphrased here, that's that mostly it.
this is what I came up with.

this will almost certainly change, since I can't see this being what he had in mind. but I don't know how it will change since he's the one who will tell me what elements to modify, and I'll see how that will impact the story.
I tried to write something of the Orr family chronicles, but the depression hit right in the middle of it, so that's not going anywhere for the moment
On the editing side,
Tristan is getting a 3rd draft. hopefully, it's the last one. I may just put my foot down and say it's the last one. we'll see. the prologue and CH 1 have been done.
I also sent the first five pages to an editing podcast : http://www.writership.org/podcast/ they've accepted it, and will do a podcast where they review it. it should air sometime in august, and I am scared shitless of it,
Jeremy is being proof read, and should be back in a few weeks. Once it's back I'll have to determine how to go about the second draft. I already know I need to add elements to the story. just have to decide what they are, where they will fit and how to make them fit there.
as I don't know how to end something like this, I'll end it here.
