Bump.

When I say the pace was too quick, I'm talking about last half. Things "escalated too quickly" as the young uns' say, as I feel like there should have been more Ana maturing into an adult content. It would have been nice exploring the history of the family a bit more, and learning more of Mr. Runecraft and what not.

Mayhaps I will re-read it again after I post my characters back-story (I'm thinking end-of-Summer ETA). I'm too Unaligned to have a forum signature.

Hmm, now that you mention it, it does seem to speed up a bit, that might be because quite a few of the early entries were actually written fairly far into the writing of the diary as I wanted to "spread it out" and give some more events and touch on a few things a bit more.

I think I could write a few more entries in applicable parts to make it slow down a bit, if I find the time and inspiration. I think I'd like that actually. You can only fully appreciate a story when you experience it through the eyes of one of its characters.

Just edited the table of contents a bit so that all of the entries are hyperlinked to their posts. Should make it easier for anyone reading the diary after this point, or re-reading it for some.

Anyway, as for fitting in some more journal entries, due to the ambiguousness of entry 14, I could actually change the date on that to be some year or more earlier without having to change any of it, then entry 15 could be tweaked a bit to be written at an earlier time and then I could start another arc right in the middle to expand more on parts, perhaps some more mischevious adventures, or with Zakera teaching her about the desert people, or maybe something else entirely. There has been a few things I'd have liked to include but never got around to, that would be a good space to do it.

Furthermore, I could then afterwards go in and include some journals inbetween the times of the later ones, during the downtimes anyway, not in the middle of a story arc.
