Eighth Chapter Finished! (Milestone)

Mon Nov 23, 2009, 7:37 PM
Words so far: 45,439
Estimated pages so far: 184
Estimated book-length: 598 pgs
Total chapters planned: 26

I know, I didn't post anything for the 7th chapter...mostly because chapters 7 and 8 are so closely tied. I've decided to fix chapter 6 later, along with everything else.

I killed off my first major character in this chapter. It was kind of shocking...you really can't see it coming. I don't want to give anything away, but things are going to get difficult for the protagonist now.

This is the first MAJOR milestone in the book. It's the conclusion of the exposition. This means moving into new territory for the next many chapters. I'm particularly excited about chapter 11, since I'm moving the characters to such an interesting setting!

I think I'm discovering why it takes so long to write a book. Looking back, I finished the first two chapters back in February, and the next few in June - August. Now it's November, and I'm just now getting back to it! At this rate, I won't get through all the chapters until 2012! (Just in time for the world to end, of course ;))

Hi. I just noticed that your favorite genre of music is classical music of late romantic/early 20th century era. That's sounds interesting. Do you listen to that music whenyou draw? I'm just wondering. My mom used to teach me how to draw through music, and I would scribble anything, however the music modivates me to draw. It's really interesting to know about the sources of what modivates you. sometimes it would show in your art work anything that stems from the sources. That's pretty cool.

I have a bachelor's degree in music composition. I've been writing music LONG before I had any artistic ability. There's a reason my ID has music notes on it. And if DA was anything more than just a visually-artistic site, there would be a lot more music on this account than there are pictures of cartoons characters.

And just for that, why don't you enjoy a YouTube concert of everyone's favorite Romantic-era Masterpiece played so frequently in the background of cartoons: [link] (Oh, what would Liszt say...)

^^ That, of course, being what I listened to the most while making the two drawings you've recently commented on.

If there's one thing cartoons taught me, it's that the hardest thing to decide is whether to eat Goopers or Raisonets while watching a movie.

That's beautiful! Man I remember that song when I was little. It's a real classic, and from the sound of it, It must take allot of practice to master such a clasic masterpiece. Wow, thanks for sharing. I think I'll try drawing to this music and see what I'll come up with. That's cool that you recieved a bachelors degree in music composition. That would be cool if DA had a music section, I write lyrics and compose songs too. But, I play by hearing. Currently, I'm still learning to read music. I play keyboard at my church. Once again thanks for sharing that music. It's a real masterpiece. Say, do they teach you how to play classical music? That must be really cool.
