Yeah, I thought that six pages a day wouldn’t be that hard for the rewrite of The Phoenix of Nova Terra<\/em>.\u00a0 Well, I might be wrong.<\/p>\n

After a really awesome and refreshing Sunday, I sat down around 10:00 pm to work on Phoenix<\/em>.\u00a0 I thought that I’d spend maybe half an hour or an hour working on that, which would get me excited to work on the other projects.\u00a0 After all, six pages isn’t that much, right?<\/p>\n

Well, it’s 2:00 am and I’m signing off, after getting through about nine or ten pages only.\u00a0 Man, it was difficult.\u00a0 Satisfying, but difficult.\u00a0 I didn’t even have time left over to get to Hero in Exile<\/em>.\u00a0 Dang!<\/p>\n

It probably didn’t help that I had facebook open the whole time.\u00a0 I think I spent an hour and a half just chatting with various friends.\u00a0 Even though it was distracting, it was fun.\u00a0 I found out that one of the kids from the Amman branch got his mission call…to San Jose California!\u00a0 Awesome!\u00a0 And chatted with a few other friends who I haven’t talked with in a while.\u00a0 It was fun…but very distracting.<\/p>\n

A day has not gone by since the beginning of this semester wherein I have accomplished all of my daily goals.\u00a0 That’s kind of frustrating.\u00a0 I got two out of three today–six pages in Phoenix<\/em> and an article on the wikidpad for Hero<\/em>.\u00a0 I hate writing those articles, but they are actually extremely helpful because they make me think about that story.\u00a0 Prewriting sucks, but when you put your ideas down on paper, the exercise makes you see things that follow logically from your story elements, which affect other elements, which come back around to give you good ideas of new things to put in your story.\u00a0 Hero <\/em>will probably be a much stronger novel than Phoenix<\/em> because of all this.<\/p>\n

But yeah, it’s late.\u00a0 I must sleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeppppppp.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
