Someone once said, "excuses are like assholes, everyones got them." I'm apparently a mutant, as I seem to have more then one.
First off to all those giving me page views, thank you.
Second, no I have not wandered off an disappeared into the randomness of the net. I'm still here, just distracted. The next few chapters of the Council of Wyrms story are coming along, just slowly. It would help if my muse would stop striking me right when I'm ready to leave work. (Working as a security guard I get a lot of typing done, as my main chore is trying to stay awake!)
I had a solid chunk of chapter two done, it just seemed like has a major dues ex machina in it. It bugs me as thats kinda bad form. So I've been trying to kill it off. For those of you who don't know. Dues Ex Machina is a term, it's basicly something that solves all the problems quickly. Example being main Character A is fighting the bank robbers. The robbers have him pinned down well, they have hostages and say they've rigged the bank to explode. This is going to be rough on our hero, Character A. He's got alot of problems, but, he pulls out his cell phone and makes a call. Within 2 seconds Superman shows up, all the criminals are tied up, hostages freed, and bomb disarmed. Superman is the Dues Ex Machina of the story.
So, while I was strainning with how to kill it I started another chapter. Which came along rather quickly, but it has dialog, and thats one of my weak points. So when it hits my editor it might take a long while.
One of my distractions however was WoW (World of Warcraft)... Yeah I know, go figure. The game that can break up marriages is a distraction?! The guild I was in broke down. I logged in guildless, it wasn't fun. The most I can figure out is people got in a fight, then rather then be adults they gquit. Then started the blame game. It's alot like being the child of a divorce. All my friends hate each other now, and want me to come join them in whatever guild they join, but that'll make my other friends upset. Mom, Dad, stop fighting! The best part is they all seem to blame one guy. This must be a f'd up world they live in, if a woman gets pregnant it must be completely her fault. Because in their world it doesn't take two to tango. One guy can't really break up a guild, well I guess they could if they were the guild leader, but he wasn't.
