Lol, doesn't the anxious little fox down there look funny? I was going to be "aggravated" then "annoyed" and then I saw "anxious" and it looked funny, so...
Er, yeah. Blogging. Um.
After Echo is gong along very, very slowly. I realised last night that I hadn't written anything for days, so I wrote three sentences before going to bed. Epic, huh? But it was just before going to bed that I realised the lack of words. So. There just doesn't seem to be much
time. I mean, I know there is. Get up, go to school, come back from school, do reading, homework, lay the table, have tea, go to bed.
-_-
My day is not like that. There are huge intervals inbetween where I read Terry Pratchett (who I have just discovered and kind of like. I've read one and got three more), blog, go on YWS, think, laze, read Beanos and the occasional Dandy, go on YouTube, go on the 'net, try and find somewhere to watch Inkheart online in good quality without paying or downloading anything.
Faery Dancer is still in my notebook and not on the computer. It doesn't really matter that much. I know that it kind of sucks a lot; it's just a relief to get it finally out. Though I really hate the title, and I was slightly cheesed off that it ended up in third person. Draft 11 was the final one, it seems, so Draft 12 will be it perfect.
Draft 1 (Off the Edge of the Rainbow) was in third.
Draft 2 was in first.
Draft 3 was in first.
Draft 4 was a mix of both.
Draft 5 (Scavenger) was in first.
Draft 6 was in first.
Draft 7 was in first.
Draft 8 was in third. (I think, I'm getting a little confused here.)
Draft 9 was in third.
Draft 10 (untitled) was in first.
Draft 11 (Faery Dancer) was in first.
Draft 12 (hopefully something different) will be in third.
There was an unbelievable amount of cliches in Rainbow, an unbelievable amount of angst in Scavenger, an unbelievable amount of rubbish in untitled and an unbelievable amount of confusion in Faery Dancer.
Maa'lesh.
I still want to carry on with
The Epic Quest to a Far Away Land in order to Defeat Evil And Save The World. I mean, come on. With a title like that, you've got to love it. :P I think I'll cut down on the characters this time round, though, as I kind of lost track of them all last time. I only wanted nine to rip off the Fellowship, and that was including dog and horse.
Raoulin'man-us will stay, and Laratishnnialyae, because they're kind of essential. Iolo, because I like him. Maybe not Lorens. I do like Lorens, but he doesn't really do much. Domyn'c stays, just 'cause he's awesome and angsty and dark and has this really turbulent and troubled childhood. Willym as well. White stallions are essential.
So that's, what, five major characters. I think that'll be all right, but I will miss Lorens. He had one of those speech impediments where you can't pronounce the letter "r", but it was only very slight, like Alec Guinness in The Lavender Hill Mob. Not like Michael Palin in The Life of Brian. -_-
He looked a bit like Alec Guiness, too. Same hair. Although, as he changed his hair a few times, more specifically, his hair in Great Expectations.

Woah, this is kind of a long entry. Oh well. Blogging about Alec Guinness' hair is bound to draw in audiences.
