I am currently working on a “new” story though actually it is a story that I started working on several years back, I forget how many. I had a moderately decent plot and a main character named Dalthnodair. However a hard drive crash ended further work on the story. However some time ago I remember the story and wrote down what I remembered of it, which wasn’t too much. So Yesterday, or was it the day before? I really wanted to work on a long story so I thought I would work on this one, since it was fairly well done planning wise with good characters etc. I’ve changed several things about the story and I’ve actually started writing the rough draft! Currently I am on page two, not chapter two, of it and things are looking quite interesting!

The main reason I am writing right now is because I was reminded again that at some point I want to get something published. I doubt that Dalthnodair’s Story will get published anywhere other than here but I need the practice writing something really good, and actually finishing it. So hopefully I will continue to write away at Dalthnodair’s Story. The most recent words I’ve written on the rough draft are “The other adventurer” and I’ll probably find out what I’m going to say next in a minute or two. The first adventurer was the one who won the soup slurping contest, though really there wasn’t a soup slurping contest, it just seemed like there was one from the noise being made.

You know, I think that real quick I’ll look up the other posts written about this story and put them in here so you can see some earlier ideas about this story.

Hmm, apparently it wasn’t quite so long ago that I started writing on this story. Only a little over a year. Read the first post here. Oh, and Gamadraf has given place to Gandaleous and Sarumraf has completely vanished from the tale.

Obviously my conception of time is way off as here is the second post I wrote about the story. The main characters haven’t changed since this post, but they have developed personalities and humor. Ranger is going to be very different from Aragorn. And I still don’t have a sword fight in the plot… And I don’t think I’m going to change that.

The next post shows further progress on the story. And one of the main switches of the book is that none of the main characters are blacksmith’s now.

Apparently I stopped progressing on the story shortly after this post. But now I’m working on it again, and with a new rough draft since I changed some events which made the old rough draft, which never got very far, obsolete. And now, unless I can delay starting for a bit longer, I shall probably return to writing.
