Yep, like 13 hours or something.

Whew, that’s like four countries far XD I can never quite conceptualize how massive America is.

I think one reason I can write for longer periods is that I give the quality of my prose…significantly less thought than most people. xD

Hah, same. XD I often reread only to find I’ve forgotten a word or wrote something grammatically ridiculous XD Prose is a later draft issue.

So, here’s the deal. I’ve gone back in forth about it, but I think a first time writing that was written by a guy who hadn’t written a chapter of fiction in his life is better to be used as a practice book. I’m thinking that instead I’ll take y’alls invaluable beta advice and the things I’ve learned and start anew with this series. However, I would like to take the core ideas of TTD and transpose them to another story someday. I might revise it again someday for practice, but I’ll probably just treat it as a practice book.

That sounds like a plan! Sometimes it’s much simpler to do it that way and gives you better quality in the end. I’m still glad I got to read it though!

Nice! Now if only you had a cellar that was built and the middle ages and held untold secrets…

The only untold secrets in our cellar is leakage, unfortunately, but we’ve discovered the strangest little passages and openings, including a false roof in a closet. (I still do not know why that existed but the closest guess is bad carpentry.)

We do have an old manure pit underneath most of the buildings, because it used to be a cow farm. However, I don’t think it holds untold secrets XD

I had a blast reading that story. I especially loved the way you named the horses and gave them human characteristics. Those are some great story telling skills you have.

Thank you! I’m glad you got a laugh out of it XD Indeed, both my horses suffer from an excess of personality XD

No, thanks for taking the time to write it out, it gives me a lot to chose from. Probably mentioning or briefly describing two or three of those will be enough for my purposes, but I think it’ll help the Jew feel a lot more unique if I can do it properly.

Awesome! I look forward to reading it!

Well, I’m about to outline book 2, and I’m pretty torn about this character. I’m leaning towards putting her actual midpoint in book 3 (it just works out a lot better), but I might give her something like a smaller midpoint or slight improvement on the liability scale in book 2.

That sounds like a good idea! I think it would give you more of a sense of progress!
