Story Updates

I’ve just posted the latest update to Alayne’s Story over on the WoW-Europe RP forums. This week’s update takes the characters into Sholazar and begins building the groundwork for the next major arcs. It’s a longer update than usual because of the length of the scenes.

And now, I am going to go lay back down. This damned virus or whatever it is is horrible.

I’ve just posted the latest update to Alayne’s Story over on the WoW-Europe RP forum. It’s a short one because the scene after this is about six pages long. Also, I’m going back to one update per week on Fridays.

And facing reality.

I am going to have to go back to one update per week. I am simply unable to keep writing 15 pages per week for weeks on end. To do so, I pretty much have to give up doing anything but working on Alayne’s Story in my spare time. That means no progress on The Unexiled, no raiding, no having a relaxing night reading or watching a movie. Nothing but sitting at my laptop and cranking out pages.

I can’t do it.

So, from now on, my most ambitious strategy will be 10 pages per week with one update a week on Fridays. I just cannot continue posting 12 to 15 pages a week. I just don’t have the time and energy.

I’ve just posted the latest update to Alayne’s Story over on the WoW-Europe RP forums. Today’s update finishes up the assault against Naxxramas story arc.

And, in other news: I’ve quit smoking. Or, at least I’m trying to quit. Christ, this is driving me crazy. 🙂

I’ve just posted the latest update to Alayne’s Story over on the WoW-Europe RP forums. Today’s update goes over more of Naxxramas, leading up to the final “wing” fight with Thaddius in the Construct Quarter.

I’ve just posted the latest update to Alayne’s Story over on the WoW-Europe RP forum. They’re still working to clear out Naxxramas and claim it for their own.

I didn’t detail every single boss fight in the dungeon but I did manage to hit most of them in the story. I remember some of the feedback I got for skipping bosses in Sunwell Plateau and decided not to risk the same mistake again. Still, the reason I never got all of the bosses in Sunwell done is because…my guild never entered Sunwell Plateau. 🙂 The hardest raid I got into was Tempest Keep and that was a Diamster PuG raid.

I’ve just posted the latest update to Alayne’s Story over on the WoW-Europe RP forums. This week’s update begins the attack against Naxxramas.

Today’s update is a little late because I got absolutely swamped with demands for my attention this afternoon. By 3 pm, I was wondering “Just why and how in the hell did I become so popular?” Seriously. Most days, I hardly say twenty words. Today, my services were so in demand it was scary.

I am. I’ve never been good about daily updates on these things. Well, at least now I have a good excuse. See, most days, it comes down to this discussion with myself:

“Blog about something or get some work on Alayne’s Story/The Unexiled done?”
“People will kill me if I don’t have an update to post so Alayne’s Story it is!”

Yeah, I know, I’m bad. However, in my defense, the day needs more hours. I’ve started sitting out raids to get writing done so I can keep up the pace. I’m not sure how much longer I’m going to keep doing that because I really love raiding. Still, there is a bit of drama whenever I go, it seems, and since I like a life free of drama, I’d just as soon not go and not have storms break over my head because I went too often or something.

At any rate, I’m almost done with this week’s work on Alayne’s Story. I’ll probably sit out Friday’s raid as well to give myself a chance to get something done on The Unexiled. And, both the other tanks want to go and I really don’t feel like rattling the cage to try to get a spot. Easier to sit it out. Eventually, one of them will get bored. 🙂

I’ve just posted the latest update to Alayne’s Story over on the WoW-Europe RP forums. Now that they’ve finished cleaning up Zul’Drak, the time has finally come to turn their attentions elsewhere. Of course, Alayne’s having premonitions again. Will the others listen to her this time?

I’ve just posted the latest update to Alayne’s Story over on the WoW-Europe RP forum. This week’s update goes into the battles that take place in Gundrak and the revelation of the Drakkari’s blood-gods. It also starts hinting towards a darker evil than even the dreaded Scourge…

In other news, I may go back to two updates per week next week. I’m going to have to see if I’m able to keep up with the pace of writing required. It is a lot of work and while I love nothing better than writing something that people enjoy reading, it’s still a lot of work and a lot of time sunk into it. I do have other commitments (a husband, raiding, work, normal real life stuff) and I’m going to have to see if I can balance those with Alayne’s Story better so that I can keep up with what I’ve been doing.

On top of that, I’d like to get more work done on The Unexiled. I’ve got to figure out how to add more hours to the day, though. Any help with that would be muchly appreciated.
