Goal for May

This was my goal for the month:

My goal for this month is to type the whole story up and get the most of the editing done.

I have finished writing and typing up the story. I have read through that and edited what I had written. It took me a while to get the changes typed up but I have done it and I am going to read through it again and make any changes needed. I have not done as much editing as I would have liked to but I am happy with the progress that I have made.

First Edit complete and typed up

I think I have discovered what takes up the most time when I work on a story. I edited the printed version pretty quickly. It is the typing up of the changes that has taken the time.

I managed to finish typing up the changes and I will print out the new copy of it to read over and see what changes I can make. I need to work on the fight scenes as there are three fight scenes that could do with being worked on.

I am also tempted to find a beta reader to read the finished story to hep me with the editing process.

I am happy with the story though and I like how it reads at the moment.

I have also changed the main characters new surname from Aryon to Rosion.

First edit done

I have read through the story that I am writing at the moment and I have made my first edit.

All I need to do is to type it up. I think that is the longest process as I find that it is more time consuming. I also have more restrictions as I can only work on typing when I have access to my computer, whereas when I am editing  the printed version I can take that with me when out an about.

I am hoping that I can get the changes typed up in the next couple of days.

Finished typing

I had not expected to finished typing so quickly but I have managed to finish typing the story tonight.

I have already changed one of the character names. It was one that I did not think I would change. But when I was typing up the story the original name did not seem right. I have changed the name Tayan to Tayer.

Character names

While typing out the story I decided that I really should create names for my characters. It took a while to find names that I thought were appropriate. That is one of the things that I do find difficult. Once I have found the right name I know as it just seems right.

I am not 100% happy with the surname for my main character when he has to change his identity. I will see what happen, I will either get used to it and it will become right or I will know it is wrong and I will find something better. It will be fine for now though.

These are the characters in my story:

Seth Bardrin/Danach Aryon: Jedi Knight (Male human from Deyer)
Jak Drayson: Farmer (Male human from Ultaar)
Luciana Drayson: Farmer/Seamstress (Female human from Ultaar)
Tayan Curtis: Forger/Slicer/mechanic (Female human from Croellia)
Pascal: Smuggler (Male human from Coruscant)

Goal for the month

I have started typing up the story today. I have made good progress as well. Though I need to not get so snippy with the younglings when typing even though it is annoying to have my concentration broken.

I have now found an appropriate planet where the story should be based. The story will be based on the planet Ultaar in the Mid Rim territories.

My goal for this month is to type the whole story up and get the most of the editing done.
