Noble Quest progress

Dear Perret,

Can you take it easy on the italics? I'm writing a novel, not a comicbook.

Love,

Your Creator (whom you probably don't believe in)


24730 / 80000 words. 31% done!

2K+ today so far, and I still feel like writing! This is more like what I'm used to. Some people said some really nice things about my first chapter (you know who you are!), which I admit made it hard for me to write for the last week. I did it, but I was terrified it wasn't as good as the first part. I guess I know how to deal with criticism much better than I know how to deal with praise. However, this book is starting to fall into place quite nicely. (The pacing is probably all screwed up, but for me that's one of the easiest things to adjust after I've finished.)
  • Funny: MC tricks another character into thinking the plague of zombies is their fault instead of his.
  • Favorite: “Not bad, lad. You'd have taken its head clean off if you weren't a coward,” he said. “Get closer next time.” I think he meant it as a compliment.
  • Embarrassment: I couldn't remember the word 'poise.'

Don't be frightened...everything's going to be all right... just keep concentrating on the plagues of zombies, and you'll see, it'll all work out. :-)

You should have italicized the word comicbook

You're right, of course. So I used the power of LJ and changed history.
