Guardians of Legend isn't coming along so well but I still have the hope of getting it out by tomorrow. Me and Jupiter-Lightning's fic, Sole Element, is ready for an update tonight though.

I feel lazy reading all of your posts I've barely even looked at my story today, though chapter 42 of Lost in Time, Identity and Destiny is just about ready to be posted (just needs a title). I try not to update until I have the next chapter done, so I know where I'm going and I can alter it accordingly. I must open Chapter 43 NOW and work on it (though I have all of 45mins left on the comp). *opens chapter* Needs work. I've only got 2 lines written so far Anywho, I'm pretty sure Blondie's the only one who reads it here so I'll stop boring you.

Well, I'd have to say, chapter-wise, you're probably the furthest along. I haven't worked on mine at all. Though, I had trouble sleeping last night and was able to use that time to think up what's going on. I'll get around to writing it here soon. Hopefully, tonight or tomorrow.

Ugh...I'm trying to get an update in for Guardians of Legend tonight and I've got about 40 minutes before I have to go...and I only have 898 words and quite a bit more to go... Hopefully I'll be able to meet the deadline I set for myself. It would help if I wasn't so dadgum tired though. *sigh*

I'd say not to push yourself. If you're a day late, then so be it. I'd rather have some excellent writing late than rushed crap on time. Uh, I think that made sense.

Lol, before I read your post I was thinkin' about saying 'Forget this' and just wait to finish up the update tomorrow or the next day...and now I think I'll go along that path and do so because you do present a valid point and that'll take away the brunt of my worries in regards to how good the chapter is going to turn out.

I know for a fact that it's better to put it off (but not for too long) then to just rush and come up with crap. Sometimes I re-read what I've already done and I wanna gauge my eyes out! Heh... I should be working on my writing now... Think I'll go do that

I wrote all night until 8am once just because when I get in the mood I try to get a lot done. Turned out to be a nice chapter. I aim for about 4,500 words per chapter these days, I'm about half way done with my newest.

Dang that's a long chapter length. I usually shoot for the upper 1000s when it comes to chapter length. I hope you finish the chapter soon, blondie...I would like to update tonight but I kinda sorta need you to proofread the chapter first.

Heh, nice to see someone else likes to have long chapters. I usually go for at least 5000 although several of my chapters so far have been 6000+. I think having a general chapter length is good for the story. I've read some books where one chapter was two pages and the next was ten and it got annoying. Uh, I got the next section complete in my next chapter. I'm hoping to have it finished up within a couple more days but we'll just have to wait and see.

Chapter 16 of Guardians of Legend has been posted. An idea hit me at 5:30 this morning and it stuck with me throughout the day and helped me get the inspiration I needed. My little sister having a stupid moment and waking me up that early thinking I had forgotten to set my alarm clock even though I still had an hour to sleep actually came in handy, lol.

Ohhh! Gurdians has been updated? Going right now to check it out!
I haven't even looked at my chapter yet, but I'm gonna scrap what I have and do it again as soon as I get the chance. That probably means when I'm done on the forums...

Eh, I haven't worked any on my new chapter at all today. I have, however, been thinking and planning. I'm always thinking and planning. Heh.
