If you're paying attention, I've added a second story. It's actually got some writing done! So head on over to shadestones.blogspot.com and check it out. All... three... paragraphs... Yeah, I didn't say there was a lot of writing. But there's a character page! (Even though it tells nothing of interest.)
Back to the other stuff. ExBlue gave me a freak out moment this week. I kept looking for the second chapter so I could write more of it, and when I finally tracked it down, two pages of writing were gone! I looked at every copy I could find(three different versions in all) but I could not find one with those pages. Heck, I even looked at the scrapped chapter three just to be safe. Nada.
I was really starting to get worked up. If my computer had shut down while I was working on them, why hadn't I rewrote them right away? I mean, they were good pages and finally got me past my writer's block. If I lost them, I'd be back where I started.
Not good.
Until today, when I decided enough was enough and finally used common sense. I used my search bar in finder (I have a mac) and found (again) multiple chapter 2's. But the one had "-the chase" added on. I clicked it and voila! The missing pages were found! :D.
Turns out that instead of saving this copy under "Novel" in the ExBlue file it was saved to my desktop. If I didn't have programs that start up when I turn on the computer and block my desktop, I would have seen that this morning when I turned my laptop on. Really makes me feel dumb. Anyway, I have moved the file to it's proper place and the writing (and eventual posting) of ExBlue can go on.
In further stories: I got distracted and have thought up yet another alternate way to tell "Demons and Curses"
Oracles 2: Still not worrying about it.
And my fifteenth (Really eighteenth story) is now probably going to end up as a comic
(webcomic if I can figure out how that all works.)
