Well, my first attempt at writing a novel would be Dragon Knight Legacy. I'm pretty proud of my work so far. I've also started on a futuristic type story some time ago because my first book is set in the past. I had a bunch of ideas for story material that could only be possible in the future, like Alchemy and super-awsome rocket powered motorcycles. Anyway, I've finished writing the story of my first book, now all I have to do is go through the whole thing and fix all the typos, plot holes, etc. Plus I have to fix up the first few chapters because I don't like the idea of the main character in the future being referred to as an exiled prince from a destroyed city. When I do that I have to go through the whole story and change all the references to him being a prince, maybe then it'll be publishable in my opinion. (I'm a bit of a perfectionist when it comes to artistic writing.) And to top it all off, I have to wait until mid-June so I can go back to Canada after my exchange student program in Japan finishes.

Man... the things I do for the creative side of my brain.


So, how about you guys? What's the deal with your books?

Yeah I have. I posted the prologues and first 5 chapters of both the stories I'm working on. They are: "The Dragon Knight Legacy," and "Code Name S.I.N.H."

Don't mind any of the errors or plot holes you may find, I posted both stories a long time ago.

Congrats on your book's completion, must be exhilirating!

I'm currently in the process of writing my first draft and organizing my thoughts. I'm hoping to have this draft done as soon as possible so I can get to editing like a mad thing because I'm sure there are tons of grammatical errors within it.
