Well, I'd like to say I was close to being done but now I've had a new idea and again in order to implement it I'm going to have to rewrite significant portions of the story. This is, however, different from Logan's progress on Nagol as he's simply not putting any effort into it at all.

There are only a few constants in this world. Some believe it to be death. Others contend it is the fact that everything is uncertainties. A few point to the fact that it is mankind's inherent nature to hurt each other.

It sucks as is. Granted I'm always liable to think my work sucks; I can't ever seem to get down what I'm really trying to convey as far as the story's overall arc is concerned. But it's not all bad in that I have things in mind to fix it. And, as I said, at least I'm still working on it.

Or you'll do what?

Anyways, maybe I'll work on that more lighthearted story; it's not as inticate and doesn't deal with deep themes so it should be easier to write.
Or I could work on The Adventures of Antidisestablismentarianism.

It's all good. I've even got a new first line ready.
Hmm... Maybe I should send you the draft I've been working on so you can see what I've been working on. It's kind of rough in that I've altered some portions and not others. Those alterations aren't enough though, which is why I'm doing a full rewrite.

I've only ever seriously attempted at the prologue, but that's all preliminary stuff to help me nail down what I want the story to be about. I do have to say that the themes and motiffs have really started to come together.
But still, Logan has to work on Nagol...

Kathous hasn't gotten much work recently, but that's primarily because I can't decide exactly how I want the story to go, have it branch off one way or another. And this isn't something I can just arbitraily pick; that would defeat the purpose of making the story exaclty how I want it to be.

Lesson number one to potential writers out there; don't get too attacted to your plans as to how a long story arc will pan out. I had one before but I kept grating against it so I've ended up throwing most of it out so I can start from scratch and make it better.
