I had this one more or less done last night, but added a note to “ADD MORE OGHREN” because Heavy Fuel is basically Oghren’s theme song. I’ve been told Dire Straits wrote it for their roadie, but look how well it works for this lunatic. So: enjoy The Oghren Chapter, now with 50% more Oghren.
Chapter 9: Fade to Black Continue reading
I wrote two chapters in one day! Now I’m back on track for chapters. I’ll be done on Saturday as planned. If I don’t play too much SWTOR. But I’m a bit happier with this chapter than the last one. Now for the real hard part – wrapping up this crazy story. : D
The Sith storylines in SW:TOR are just too much fun for everything. XD
None too sure about the end of this chapter. Things are a bit rocky right now. We’ll see how everything pans out at the end of it all.
Chapter 7: How Long Continue reading
This one’s messy and didn’t come out right at all, and I’m too tired to make it work right now. At least I made it through. It was a bit sticky. Also I’m too distracted by my Sith lady.
I made yellow belt in karate yesterday! : D
This chapter’s suddenly slightly longer. Guess why! (hint: fluffy fluff)
Also, I’m at the half-way point! Cool! Gonna write another chapter tonight, why not!
Playing a little fast and loose with the Laws of Removing Bullets (sorry for TVTropes).
Have to thank two friends for help with this chapter: Elwin for some legalese, and Yllamse for letting me know that Zev’s “mi amor” is more casual for Spanish speakers than it seems. (I still don’t know why Zev is Spanish when he’s from fantasy-Italy, but hey, why not, they’re both sexy.)
Originally this would have been the first instance/use of On Every Street in the story, but then it turned out that Chapter 3 and Chapter 4 were stupidly short, so I combined them because the only reason I split them up in the first place was song lyrics. And I had thought I’d have more to say about it by now.
Dang, how is Mark Knopfler so good at music?
Karate is really kicking my butt this week – in a good way. Shredded my abs because sensei decided to do some High Intensity Training yesterday. I’ll be yellow belt on Monday probably! This has nothing to do with noir crime and trench-coated and fedora’d detectives, I’m just excited about it.
All right let’s launch this ridiculous idea! Dragon Age as a 40’s noir murder mystery! Huzzah for NaNoWriMo! I watched the Maltese Falcon as reference for this. Chapters are quite a bit shorter than they usually are but that just means I’ll be done sooner? And if you’re a classic rock fan, you’ve already recognized the title and chapter titles. Those were what gave me the inspiration for this in the first place! Continue reading
