I got a good five pages written up for Hagaren Country last night. Yay! So right now Chaptire III is nine and a half pages long. And since I like my chapters to be at least twelve pages, an update should be coming pretty soon. Hopefully I can crank out a few more pages tonight, proofread, and send the thing off. :D That would be a giant monkey off my back. I can't believe it's been since November that I updated this story. -.-

I guess the main problem's been this damn character introduction. I hate it so much!! Why can't they all instantly know each other, damnit?! And one of the most frustrating things about it is the way that everything has to be reveled so slowly. I mean, I could have all the characters sit down around a campfire and spill their life stories, but it's so fake and no fun to read. So I'm trying my darnedest to make all this interesting and lively, but I'm still worried it'll read like filler. Bah.

Anyway... I'm done whining. I'll get back to writing because, really, I love it so. :)

( Preview of Chaptire III )

It's three o'clock in the morning on Saturday. I have to be up and about at 9. Why haven't I gone to sleep yet?

Because a lousy 17-line monologue won't let me go to bed. Oh my goodness... this was torture! You're going to laugh when you read it!

( Consider this a preview for Chapter 21 )

Yes, people. This is what I've been working on for two and a half hours. Dear God... there's something horribly wrong with me. By comparison, it took me about half an hour to write a 1300 word section of dialog earlier in the chapter.

Weird..... -.-

And now I have to go to bed (not that I want to!) Hopefully I can finish the rest of this tomorrow~! *here's hoping*
