I had a really awesome and clever title but I forgot it when I was struggling to remember my password, so this will have to suffice

After a looooooooooooong time two years to be precise, I finally FINALLY completely finished my book The Five Trials. Yes, I know that title sucks but I've always sucked at titles my blog titles are proof. If anyone has a better idea, do be so kind as to let me know.

In any case, I finally got it edited! I have a lot of down time at work since I am such an efficient worker and finish it all early so I did my best to suck it up and get the editing over with. I realized, after reading through the whole thing, that the ending was awful. It's a true story sort of, so I couldn't change the ending entirely, but I did update it and make it more accurate based on the most recent events and also my personal growth. All in all, it turned out to be better, more accurate, and less dramaqueeny that can be a word, ne? than it was originally. So I am quite pleased. I also went through and joined together a lot of my choppy, conjunction-started sentences. Now the whole thing flows a lot more smoothly.

I am in such a generous mood that I will, for a limited time, give this completed version of my precious baby to anyone who asks. As I'm still debating attempting publication or not, it may be your only chance to get your greasy paws on it although many people have read it already, you haven't gotten the new ending!

In other news, I finished chapter two of The Rogue Prince, the book I've mentioned in several posts now. This is largely in part thanks to Soren-san finally coming home! He's very cranky and difficult but this is normal. I'll eventually get some good ideas out of him. I'm just glad I can blame him again every time my writing sucks. Anyway, I shall start on chapter three tomorrow probably and we'll see how that goes. Pleeeeease, Soren-san?

I also had a wild thought about selling myself out and trying out for American Idol next season. I'm a classical singer, though, and I'd prolly never make it. By that, I mean I sing like Tarja Turunen and Sharon den Adel. Yare, it's so difficult sometimes. Stupid useless American music not respecting that kind of talent... I'll need to move to Europe to find a decent band.

I think I will go study my Japanese now.

Sumimasen!
