GAMES: GameSpot GameFAQs MOVIES: Metacritic Movietome Comic-Con
Friday, May 1, 2009

I've been working on my book for the past two weeks. I've been rather busy since the last time I posted a blog. How far have I gotten? Well, I finally finished XXV (chapter 25). You know what that means? Part III: Umbra is complete.

And that also means I'm on Part IV: Redemption.

What else does that mean?

I'm almost truly done. I have three chapters left, for I am working XXX (30) at this very moment. It's almost complete as well, which means I have 94,004 words and 321 1/4 pages. I'm getting very close to finishing and I simply cannot wait. I'm getting closer to my goal of 100k words. I'm planning to work on my book this weekend and finish it quite soon (my destine goal is May 15).

Besides working on my book, I have been trying to keep myself busy. Recently, I got The World Ends with You for the DS. I am on Week 2, Day 5. It is simply depressing and dark, but that is what makes me love it. The game is amazing and I'm very intrigued by it. The controls are confusing at first, yes, but I got used to them after doing a few battles. I really like the concept of it as well (I'm not saying a whole about the game simply because I don't want to spoil it).

Along with getting The World Ends with You, I have also gotten quite a few books (six to be exact). The books that I got are:

Band of Brothers by Stephen E. Ambrose

Dracula by Bram Stoker

Night-watch by Sergei Lukyanenko

Underground by Haruki Murakami

Warrior by Marie Brennan

and

Witch by Marie Brennan

So I shall be busy once I'm done with my book. Very busy with reading.

*Mumbles about automatic censoring.*

Edit: Oh, according to two users, I'm the "strictest" mod in OT.

Edit II: Oh btw. This is random, I know, but when it comes to trusting issues, I'd like to know that I can trust someone, even if it is a question. If it is just a question, please do not assume that I'm planning on something. I get to be very curious at times and I sometimes feed my curiosity. But alas, it seems someone thinks otherwise. It may not have been who I am thinking it is since it could have been said by someone else that knew about it that I did not tell. However, I do not know that. So if I ask a question, please do not go spreading things, especially if it has yet to concern others.

Congrats on being almost done... it's a long-time coming. I don't think I really need to say how much I like TWEWY... just remember that Pi-Face is always looking for a chance to iterate those zetta sons of digits.

The World Ends With You is a truly unique game from Square Enix. Hope to read your book someday.

Fishbrain: I haven't read all the books before. I've only read half of Dracula.

GAMECAMILLER: Yes sir!

SonicHomeboy: It is a unique game for sure.

You're beginning to see the light at the end of the tunnel! And by t he way, you reminded me I need to get The World Ends with you.

great work and some excellent books. kudos.

The finish line is in sight, Abbie! That's awesome. I was going to ask you about TWEWY and how you've been enjoying it actually. I'm interested in getting it, but the whole two screen battle system has me a little apprehensive. Oh, and stop being so strict!
Posted May 2, 2009 8:05 am PT
Glad to see your almost done. And I thought the strictest mod thing was hilarious. I only ever thought of one mod as strict and he left the site a while ago.

JustPlainLucas: It is a great game to get.

iowstate: Thank you.

megagene: Yeah, the whole two screen battle system is a bit confusing at first, but you get used it as you play. So it's not all too bad.

matty: I wasn't quite expecting it, but hey. First for everything.

Your edits intrigue me, you should know that you can ask me anything, just putting that out there
Congrats on yet another achievement in book-writing. And I know 4 out of the 6 books you listed, I feel so knowledgeable ^_^ haven't read any of them though >_>
Posted May 2, 2009 2:04 pm PT
Wow, 100k, that's quite an accomplishment. I know your excited to be so close to being done. And thanks for all your help here the last few weeks.
Posted May 2, 2009 2:30 pm PT
Finally you're completing your book
TWEWY is amazing,best rpg for the DS,i love the story and the art design,im on week 3 and hopeful i'll finish it this week
And i know only Dracula from the books you got
Posted May 2, 2009 7:01 pm PT
you sure do read a lot of books! i've grown tired of the inevitable unoriginality in much of today's literature. if you want any advice on writing, just ask, but be warned: i'm a harsh critic!
Posted May 6, 2009 10:14 pm PT
Congrats on your finishing of the book. If it ever gets published im gonna buy a copy. And an excellent choice of books there.
