How sad am I?

Okay, so I was just writing now, and thought I'd let all of you know that I just had a funny slip up.
I accidentally used a smiley in my story- the prequel that is. Oh don't worry, I've removed it, but it was just too funny. I'll give you all a little look in though as to what I did:

“And you expect not to fall off with a grip like that?” Asora held one of the spines of Sharia’s back while she grabbed the nearest of Locha’s flailing hands and pulled it back to another to the dragon’s spikes. :P

Yes, you read that right! I used the ":p" smiley. Apparently my subconscious thinks the possibility of Locha falling off the back of a dragon, flying hundreds of thousands of meters above the ground and dying is funny. Well, now you all know that I have dark humor! Don't worry, I try not to write it in too often- but I can't help but laugh whenever I watch Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith(Yes, I'm a Star Wars fan), and Dooku gets his hands chopped off, and then his head. Then you change camera angle with Anakin talking to Palatine who's sitting on that chair thing, and you can see Dooku in the background, his hand on the floor, and head a small ways behind his body. Okay, weird I know, but I can't help but let out a chuckle. Aaaand... Well, now you've read the first paragraph I've written in a long while, and my my mini rant about dark humor... I think I'll get back to writing now since what I've written for a blog post is more than what I've actually written on the story for almost a month...

Untill next time!
~Icey :p

Lost in translation

Just for the fun of it, since it is sorta related to writing... I took my previous blog post (see Whew- Editing.) and translated it back and forth between Japanese and English numerous times. Enjoy. ---
One day, editors, writers, all dates. It is that I have recently been discovered. [Edit] two days ago, I had to work in Chapter 6. Edit, my past experience, "Oh, this same section II again, I ..." .... and please. I have thrilling finish to the feature. To feel the change. But really, you need to think about it ... if you can read a good book many times.
p
Their hard work, please do not bore something new author. Adding excitement to return. In most cases, it requires a reader writer otherwise? Similarly, the editing, I think you can help. You asked confused, especially to find the exact position ... you are bored, or edit. Some documents are executed from the first draft of my seat - and, Kurikkuibentozubon, change must be created.I started talking to complete the necessary work. I Thaihaelon 5 (please refer to the first public example. To do this) If you can read, can you please write a draft of her main story. Are you a good start for you .. I was right, maybe I can edit some general tips to add to add a little mystery.

My editor crazy Purottotsuisutotema subtle hints really start writing you can write a sequel can not edit the second generation: 04 - 40-100 is: your mind around the word: I The mind can build 75. In this example: the world's population Thaihaelon Minotaurosukentaurusu intelligent species. Maybe I was in the movie / I (UNWARNIA SPOIELRS want: failed /), TV, convenient / Gemuarato to the spoiler, the writer gets a regular reader. I blurt out this information. Hopefully, I will post again soon!

Whew- Editing.

Some days are writing days, and some days are editing days. That's what I've been discovering lately. Yesterday was an editing day for me, so I got to work on Chapter six. My past experience in editing haven't been anything too thrilling- in fact, it felt like "here we go AGAIN... gonna read that same section over.... AGAIN... Oh, don't like that word... I'm gonna change it, AGAIN..." and so on. But really, when you think about it... You should be able to read a good book over and over.

Like how if the author has a hard time writing their story because they're bored with it, they must add something new and exciting that gets them excited about it again. Because most likely, if the writer doesn't like it, why should the reader?

In a similar way, editing also helps with that I think. If you get to a scene that you find particularly boring, or maybe it just doesn't sound right, and is a tad confusing... That's when you edit. If you write by Seat-of-the-Pants, like I do, then by the time you've finished writing your story's first draft, you'll have found out SOOOOO much more about your story, that editing is inevitable. It's necessary to make the story work start to finish. After writing the first draft of the main story for Thaihaelon, I went back and looked at my first five chapters- (they can be read here if you so wish.) which I'd started editing with my Mum... And although in general, they were correct to the story, I realized that I could also add subtle hints as to possibilities to perhaps add a bit of mystery for the reader.

And on the topic of subtle hints, plot twists in writing and editing. When you start writing a prequel things can go really crazy then. Within the four-thousand-four-hundred-and-seventy-five words I have written and hundreds of crazy ideas whirling around in my head, there is SO MUCH that'll need to happen in the way of editing, primarily from second tower onwards. Like this for example: Minotaurs and Centaurs were not the only intelligent species that populated the world of Thaihaelon. (UNWARNIA SPOIELRS: a disorder that usually writers and readers get. It causes the person who has it to blurt out story/game/movie/TV-show spoilers without warning.) And I'll leave you on that for now. Hopefully I'll post again soon!
