I have been a bad, bad author. Not only have I not gotten anything written in a while but I went back and started rewriting some of what I already had.

I know I should just let my bad writing out and fix it later but it's very hard for me especially when I am not happy with what I have written.

Though the changes I made are not huge. I mostly just changed a few words to make the starting setting a Inn as the main character and his masters travel to the main setting. I also am going to have the main character be aware of magic and that he is being trained to be a mage but as of yet has no real magical talent.

Found a nice little cafe with no internet access that I may start going to in order to get some work done even though it is a bit of a walk from my apartment. My apartment is not a conductive working environment because I keep getting distracted by the shininess of Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood.

Not much in the way of words, but my next scene/chapter has been redoing itself in a way that is more organic and natural, and just makes more sense given the characters involved while also providing a better bridge to future scenes.

Discovering Kvothe, Kingkiller has been preventing me from writing.  Yet another crime laid at his feet.
You've managed- in our three years together- to kill not only my god, but my father, my brother, and my fiancée. That's kind of like a homicidal hat trick. It's a strange foundation for a relationship.

There is always something to slow you down.  Life gets in your way.  The important thing it tenacity and determination.  The old Galaxy Quest line, 'Never give up.  Never Surrender!'

I really wish that wonder drug from the movie Limitless was real. So hard to work up the attention span long enough to get anything done. Along with all the crazy that goes on in life.

I just finished the steel article. (7.4K words) A day of polishing and I'll be sending it off Sat night. The worst problem was sourcing the production rate for the iron produced from "X" type furnace....

Kevin
