Nah. I would take out 500 reserves there, too, 'cause I know how long it's gonna be. I do the writing with pencil and paper anyway, not really thinking about how much it will or won't fill up the forum.

Mostly, it's an issue of sitting down with the characters and setting at least three or four times a week, just to stay in the right mindset. Right now, I'm only sitting down with it once every week or two, and then I have to reread the previous ten pages just to figure out where I am, and where I might have been planning on going. And then if I remember I had a plan, but not what it was, I get frustrated and it gets hard to write. Also, some scenes I just struggle with. XD

Me again. I read your new posts for chapter 4, found it strong. Interaction of mother and son in action and dialogue was done very well, my dad acts like that too every now and then about how I need to pay a few thousand bucks for a course, get a full-tine job, and be set for life. It sounds great and all, but making as much money possible and working as much as possible doesn’t look like something I want to do in life. He also criticizes me for not doing much and not being between people, so I found myself thinking about myself in this chapter, which always creates affection for the character.

The descriptions of nature and emotion are excellent as usual, too, so kudos and sparkles for you.

My only question is how did Mother expect Aletayr to arrive on this night? Guess I missed/forgot something. I also noticed two typos, but forgot where they were. It was her instead of here and should instead of shoulder somewheres.

She would've known the date of the graduation ceremony, even if she couldn't attend, and the approximate travel time between the Academy and the town.

And don't worry about picking out typos. I rarely go back and bother with fixing them anyway. :\

And thanks for the compliments. It always makes the day better to know that my work is enjoyed. :)

I'll just drop this post here.

There isn't much yet so I can't write too much: I will say the writing is smooth and flowing and the plot is advancing at a good pace. The death of Xan was particularly well done - it significantly shocked me even though at that moment there was little emotional attachment to the character****;DR: it's good. Now we just need to prod you into writing faster!

Thank you much! That's quite the compliment, and I'm not too sure I deserve it. But it's encouraging to know that people like my work so much. Hope you'll stick around to read the additions as I get to them.
