Novel Progress 11-19-09

Posted Today at 09:27 AM by Tzalaran

got another page written, the words just came slowly and i was distracted by my children most of the night. after their showers they were more accommodating, but before that i was ready to pull out the few hairs on my head that are left...

This chapter is dragging for me. its the long boring section before the plunge, and i'm struggling with being able to spin more than two sentences together without stopping. usually, i can get in a groove and the next thing i know half a page...

Tracking Motion for the Chainsaw / Lightsaber

Unforunately, I don't have any photos to put
up. This is mostly due to the madness
that was today, however I'll get some media
tomorrow so everything I post here will make
more sense.

I ran out to Staples and picked up a plastic
triangle for draft work (45-45-90) as well
as Radioshack for whatever infrared LEDs I could
find. I was able to track down our lab tech
and he told me that he had someone putting

got almost halfway through ch. 23, got bogged down in some dialog, and couldn't write straight through, instead working 15 minutes here and 30 mins there. had to reference my maps and get the overall journey route down so that i didn't have to look at the map every paragraph.

Lightsaber

Posted 11-18-2009 at 10:43 PM by Shivanangel (VR Grad Student)

I decided the coolness factor of a lightsaber,
as well as the shear ability to captivate nerds (engineers) everywhere would be too good
to pass up so I whipped up a quick lightsaber. (Luke Skywalker ROJ of COURSE)

Just a placeholder texture for now, gonna
add all the pretties and smooth some normals tomorrow before clinic.

Thinking about adding a shader for the glow
effect rather than just transparent geometry.

We'll see....

finished chapter 22. going to start chapter 23 after i post this, hopefully will get 500 words in it to break the 90,000 word mark. i ended up cutting one scene for the next chapter, so chapter 22 wrapped up a little faster than initially envisioned, but i think it will work better this way, and i wanted that chapter done tonight.

The Daol met at the Horned Devil and prepared to go into the pit again. The end of the chapter had Tzal going down first to make sure it was safe for...
