Yeah, I know. I haven't posted in ages.
But there are a couple of things you should know...
1) The story draft on my computer is always a good five or six chapters ahead of where the story is online, so I'm almost done completely with what I'm calling "Virginia by Night" or "Roanoke by Night." That is to say, all the pre-Philadelphia material to Michael's story.
2) I tend to work in spurts. I'll go weeks without touching the manuscript and then I'll have days like today where I spend a good ten to twelve hours straight doing nothing but writing. That's like what real authors do when working on a manuscript. I do this as a hobby, so those moments when they come are pretty intense.
Anyhow, you get to see the fruits of my labor immediately, since nearly all of those hours was spend doing what I said I was doing in my last "Cleaning Up" post. I've revamped a ton of material in the Prologue, Act One, and Act Two. Some of this was to clarify world-building material like I said I would do last time. Some of it was to plant tiny seeds of plot that will grow bigger in later Acts and Chapters. Still others was to clean up language and grammar errors that I missed before. It was a lot of work, but worth it I believe. The story is really turning into what I had hoped it would be.
Oh, and I dumped the music playing sidebar. It was annoying me.
