(WIP) Suiren, Chapter Fourteen: [UNTITLED] Scene 4 – Incomplete Draft

-aaand now we return to our regularly scheduled programming! I hope somebody is enjoying all these sections written from the point of view of characters that i don’t normally focus on, because switching around like this is really hard! ;_; I may have mentioned/ranted about this before (since this is very often the reason for [...]

Mail Bag: April 15, 2009…

It’s been a while since i was last able to respond to comments, so instead of flooding the site with my own comments, i’m just gonna put my responses to the currently pending ones here ^_^;…

(WIP) Suiren, Chapter Fourteen: [UNTITLED] Scene 3 – Complete Draft?

Alright, for real this time… maybe; i’m still struggling with the fact that i’m not very interested in Sasuke myself, so i’m not sure if i can write him in a way that’s interesting for anyone else.
[RANT] On top of that, this scene has also made me remember what a stupid technique the Chidori is. It’s noisy and obvious, [...]

(WIP) Suiren, Chapter Fourteen: [UNTITLED] Scene 3 – An Annoying Placeholder…

Surprise, no writing here yet! I’m just sticking up this placeholder for now because i’m still trying to decide whether to write the next section from Sasuke’s point of view or Ino’s. I try to write in third-person limited mode rather than third-person omnicient, so the character i choose as the ‘focus’ for a particular section [...]

(WIP) Suiren, Chapter Fourteen: [UNTITLED] Scene 2.5 – A Brief Interlude…

There’s been some speculation about the events at the end of the last section, so while  i don’t have time to start writing the next section at this particular moment, i guess i can put up this little ‘bridge’ that goes between them. As usual, this is a Work In Progress, and thus subject to [...]

(WIP) Suiren, Chapter Fourteen: [UNTITLED] Scene 2 – Complete Draft

Well, i promised that i’d have more writing up by today… and dammit, i do!
I can see you back there! Put away the torches and the barbecue sauce! The pitchforks you can keep – but no using them unless i get really lazy again!
I’m not done yet today, either, but since i am posting this [...]

We Are Currently Experiencing Technical Difficulties…

Writer’s block can be defined as a ‘technical difficulty,’ can’t it? Ugh…
So the delay hasn’t been quite as… short as i’d expected it to be, but i’m currently working two-jobs-in-one (my old job, which they haven’t hired anyone else to fill yet, as well as my new job; isn’t being a white-collar drone fun?), and [...]

(WIP) Suiren, Chapter Fourteen: [UNTITLED] Scene 1 – Draft 1

Aaaaaand the first section of chapter fourteen is complete- i think! Now we shall turn our all-seeing eye to what certain other ninja are doing with themselves on this fine day…
Unfortunately, the second section of this chapter may be slower in coming than the first, as i’m preparing to go on vacation (taken in small [...]

(WIP) Suiren Fourteen: [UNTITLED] Scene 1 – Incomplete Draft

Well… now that we all know the perils of poking the rabid author, i suppose we can move on to something a bit less confusing and dramatic O_O;…
(And if you don’t understand the above statement, i’m not going to explain it…)
As with Wolves, i’m going to be posting scenes of chapter fourteen as i write [...]

Suiren, Chapter Thirteen: Wolves… (Draft 2)

Okay, here’s the lowdown: this draft of ‘Wolves’ includes a number of small edits throughout the chapter, as well as some slight tweaking of the Kurenai section. No, i didn’t change how events actually transpired, but hopefully the background behind them is a bit clearer now, without being too overly exposition-ey. I’m still not comfortable with [...]
