Generic Update

My computer has life again!!!

My apologies in not updating recently. Life has been a roller coaster for the past month or so. I'm using bad cliches, it was that bad. I won't bore you with details in this blog. Read the other one if you really, really want to know because you have no life of you own. No worries; I sympathize.

And so, on to the list:

Call My Name: Chapter 4 will be posted today. I'm about halfway through Chapter 8 and I have the plot line all typed out. More likely than not, it will change because I add something that MUST be dealt with later in the plot, but hey, that's how it works in the writing world.

The Dragon's Jewel: I'm currently on Chapter 13 writing-wise. I won't spoil anything too much, but Zhao San and Lu Ba are currently on a journey. And I'm sorry for the cliffhanger in the last chapter. There will be a resolution in the near future. Damn teenage angst.

In Search of a Past: The second story is about 2 pages long, and the goal is between 5 and 6. This is one of those collections that will probably move at a slower pace, so I'm sorry for the lack of updates. I have a story arc planned in the near future. But first, we have to grow the Prince up a bit.

Romance of the New Kingdoms: I started the next set of chapters for this one yesterday, but this is going to be another slow moving one. The fact of the matter is that its very large in terms of content, and I'm not entirely sure how I want to format it. I'm either going to do something similar to the snippets, where I have smaller chapters from each kingdom, or I'm going to do separate ones and then a collective one when the battle(s) starts. Look for this one in the next month or so.

The Tigress's Song: I know, it doesn't seem like this one should take so long to rewrite. But it does. Sorry. I just started Chapter 2 last week, when my computer returned to some sense of normalcy. My goal had been to get it done over vacation. Then technology decided to hate me. Once this one is up, New Kingdoms will be a go.

Punch Down: I'M SO SORRY THIS IS TAKING SO LONG! I have the next chapter written, but something is off. And because I can't read anything anymore with a not-critical eye, I don't feel comfortable posting this until I fix it. It may mean a change in my plot line. But it WILL be posted soon. My goal is mid-August. You may cut my hands off if I miss the deadline without a valid excuse. Its a shame, too, because this is one of my more popular stories.

Sarat II: Spitfire: I'm going to try and post the next chapter of this one today, simply because I have it. I'm part way through chapter 8, trying to introduce Rei to the cast. I'm hoping to attack this story with more gusto once the end of August rolls around. Hopefully by that point, some of my fanfiction will be completed.

Sarat I: Rewrites are all on my computer, and I'm going through them slooooooowly to make sure stuff makes sense and my typos are all gone. No word on when this one will make it up. Seriously, I can't tell. I have too many writing projects as it is.

I think that's it for stories that are currently out there. All of my novel work has been set aside so I can update my posted works more frequently. Grad school starts up the beginning of September, but I don't have to do any extra reading assignments beforehand so I should be able to get stories churned out faster. Once the 9th hits, things will slow. But hey, its only one semester's worth of work. Hopefully my hands won't fall off.

And I'm sorry if there are typos in this. Its very hard to type when 5 out of 10 fingers are bandaged. I hate my job.
