Editorial Overhaul -- Round 1.2

Fri Jul 10, 2009, 8:14 PM
(10/07/09: I've added a list of the edited chapters to this page.)
(27/07/09: I've added more edited chapters to the list on this page.)

Alright, so you may have noticed some re-postings of my first few chapters of A Beggar's Tale. You're not going crazy. I'm doing major editorial overhauling, and I'll answer a few questions throughout the length of this journal. If you watch me and/or read ABT, it would be wise to read on.


What's going on?
I'm editing. A MAJOR editoral overhaul. Basically, what I'm doing is running through the chapters, changing material, removing and adding stuff. Mostly elaboration to make things more clear, but I'm also adding a few more things, such as a new race of Cursed Immortals (I figured 2 main ones wasn't enough-- I've added an avian race, the sheikan), and maybe even some glimpses into the pasts of characters, in addition to new chapters.

Should I keep reading from where I am, or re-read from the start...?
It would be wise, my friend, to read along as I am updating. You won't get swamped if you do, then. At the very least, skim what I've posted. A LOT has changed.

How long will this take?
Probably a few weeks, maybe even a month depending on my speed. My family is hosting a lady from France for a month, and a student in August, but for now I have lots of free time. I'll do my best to be done in a good time.

Can I give you input? Like, if I don't like how the story went, can I give you ideas for when you edit, to change things that have 'already happened'?
Yes, of course! I always appreciate your input! And your questions are awesome, too, especially since it lets me know whether or not I'm being clear with my writing.

How many chapters have you finished?
Finished chapters include, at this point:
1. Prologue
2. Chapter 1
3. Chapter 2
4. Chapter 3
5. Chapter 4
6. Chapter 5
7. Chapter 6
8. Chapter 7


Alright! Any other questions? Post questions and comments here!
