The Draconis Saga

SilverDagger

Author's Notice

Well. The past few days have been stressful, no doubt about it. I've had work and little play, and not enough time to write.

But that's beside the point, and It just sounds like excuses. Here's the deal:

During the weeks since my last update, I've been editing my plot lines, writing down lists of open threads that will need to be closed, and re-reading Eragon for any threads I can find in there that I can put into Saga. After that came the planning stages.

As I have explained to some of you beforehand, I am going through a massive planning stage for Saga. I had the prologue and the first five or so chapters planned out completely, and the sixth and seventh were written spur of the moment, but it all fit in in the end. For the next chapters, though, I don't have a fully detailed plan. For the past few weeks, I've been constructing that. For the War in Alagaësia, I have been creating maps and troop movement charts, as well as troop ratios and Battle formations. I've been planning all fo this for both the land war, and the one which will occur on the sea and coast. I've been planning out how the Trials in Ellesméra will turn out, how the Elvin cities are going to be protected during the Empire's fast approaching Invasion of Du Weldenvarden. I've been taking time on chosing names for leaders and generals on both sides, developing personalities for them as well. Also, I've been trying to decide what the eventual sides will be made up of, who will sign a treaty with who, who will be crushed in the political fallout of some, etc.

All in all, I've had a huge amount of work put on me for developing only half of Saga's entire Plot.

Bear with me here.

Besides that, Chapter 8, Eragon, is about halfway done, and should be out soon.

Now: This Author's not will be deleted when the next chapter comes out, and an Author Alert email, whether from FF.net or PK.org will not be sent to you, as it doesn't when a chapter slot is replaced with new content.

Therefore: I need an E-mail address from all of you so I can let you all know that the new chapter is out. Please leave it in a review!

With that, I wish you all a belated Happy New Year, and a plea to let me finish my work!

Regards,

SilverDagger
