[QUOTE="UltimaGabe, post: 5851423, member: 16019"] Tell me about it. Even of the 20+ of my closest friends (several of which were even in the D&D campaign that inspired this novel, and others of which I've been telling about it since I first came up with the concept and they've loved hearing about it), only one has actually kept up with it. But then again, I know that some of my friends have had their own projects (writing or otherwise) that I haven't kept up with either, not for any particular reason, but just because I don't think of it. So I guess I can't really blame anyone. Yeah, it's crazy how many seemingly obvious typos manage to make it through even after I've proofread 2-3 times (both out loud and in my head). And you're not even reading the first version (there were some pretty horrid grammatical errors when I first posted it, which were brought to my attention AFTER my aforementioned multiple proofreadings). Trust me, you wouldn't believe how many times I've written a sentence and then thought, "Wow, this is sounding really homoerotic." Yeah, I see what you mean. A lot of what I think up in my head would work great if it were a movie, where I could cut back and forth between the past part of the story (in this case, Harrow's childhood and initiation into knighthood) and the present (Sir Harrow reminiscing about said childhood), but in text it's more difficult to make that work (especially when it's all being described in the past tense). But at the same time, I didn't want it to all be in the past, so I felt like I needed to go back and forth at least a couple times (so that the audience doesn't forget that he's reminiscing). Thanks for keeping up with the story, Jonesy! I sincerely hope that you're enjoying it and not just doing this because you feel sorry for me or something. (Though I'll take whatever I can get! :-P) [/QUOTE]
