So I've started rewriting Broken Unity, and it's going really well. Like, I can't even begin to describe. I'm literally giddy with excitement as I'm writing this, and I don't mean that as a joke. I've put a LOT more effort into it this time around, and that coupled with the massive amount of writing experience I have no compared to when I first started it, and it's really just.... awesome. Not only is it the longest thing I've written in a long while, but, well.... it's the first independent, solo-written piece that I'm actually proud to have written in a long while.

And it's not even finished yet!

Whew. But yeah. With any luck, things will go better this time around than when I first wrote it, because I have a more solid plan figured out for it this time around. From the get-go, I can tell you that the Dark Hunters are far more fleshed out and characterized than they previously were, and I've also gone to greater lengths to describe the scenery and set up of the Makutas' plan. Not to mention things are being set up easier and more naturally than they previously had been -- no more surprise extra beings appearing!

So yeah. I'm really happy right now. ^_^

Also, no, I don't know when I'm going to start posting it. Probably after I've gotten a couple of chapters written, that way if I fall behind my writing schedule, I'll still have something to post.

UPDATE: 11/4/11, 11:18 P.M.

Alright; so at this point, I'm on track for NaNo, and progress with Broken Unity is going smoothly. Once again, I think I'm doing a fantastic job with the narrative and my writing in general, and at this point, I have finished the prologue and have moved on to the first chapter.

So yeah. Something I feel I should share about the story -- there are going to be a number of changes to the plot this time around, though the general story will still be the same. The majority of the characters are going to be sticking around, and I'm also going to introduce some new ones on top of a few new, better plots -- already I feel like they're making things go more smoothly than before, so hopefully you guys will enjoy them as much as I am.

Yeah. Just an update. Also my current official NaNo stats:

Tomorrow is going to be a mass writing day for me, due to the fact that I won't get as much of a chance to write next week while I'm at my mom's house, so hopefully I can jump way ahead of schedule; if not then I'll work something out so as to be able to still get stuff done next week.

Also, just out of curiosity, who else here is participating this time around? My username is "Kovian" if anyone wants to add me. ^_^
