DONE DONE DONE-ED-Y DONE
In yo’ face, Ganondorf!
Hope you enjoyed. Still an epilogue coming up.
A side note: whenever I clicked on ‘add link’ here in the post creation screen… I giggled. I admit it.
This chapter felt… repetitive. I was so anxious to fit in all the dramatic lines that I think some points were kind of hammered in. And the Franz didn’t get the kick-butt speech that I wanted him to, because I forgot what it was about. It was something about unity, anyway.
How to lose weight fast! Want to lose 5 lbs in 5 days? Just get RPG Maker (which was 50% off on Steam a week ago) and you’ll never want to do anything else again, including eat and sleep!
But I finished this chapter, although it is not as good as I would like. I really wasn’t sure where it was going. For some reason my outline seems more dynamic than the story itself.
Not sure how to show Rana, since I don’t want her to either take over the story or be annoying, and also Link’s supposed to be kind of oblivious to what she’s actually feeling. For now, at least. It was fun to write Impa and Darunia, though! (Impa, stop throwing tantrums.) And now we get to find out where they’ve been, and Shoza, too. I keep forgetting what things Link already knows, though. Like… “has he figured out Ganondorf was behind everything yet?” or “does he know about Ruto?” both of which were answered a couple chapters ago. : P
It might be helpful to know that Love Over Gold by Dire Straits is Rana’s theme song. : ) Also I think she’s going to have a ‘snap back to her true being’ moment sometime soon, because girl needs it, yo. Continue reading
Man, I have to say, I love writing banter between Colin and Link and assorted other people. I feel I’m reasonably pleased with this chapter. Although now I’ve forgotten all the things I was going to say about it. I stayed up all night again! This is probably bad for my skin and my mental health, but it’s okay. I’m creationing. I deal with it later.
IF THIS WERE A STANDARD NANOWRIMO I WOULD HAVE WON NOW
ELEVEN DAYS (TEN BECAUSE I DIDN’T WRITE ON THE FIRST DAY) (OR MAYBE NINE BECAUSE I MISSED ONE DAY AFTER THAT, TOO)
THIS IS A NEW RECORD FOR 50,000 WORDS FOR ME
Whoo! Today was eventful. I posted the last chapter, and then I went for a run, and it was great, and then I wrote the next chapter, and then I went to practice organ and found out that I’m rushing all through the fugue in my beloved Buxtehude C major, and now I’m back and just edited this last chapter. I really want to keep practicing organ. But I was sweating like a pig in that organ loft, which was still warm even though it was long past sunset. Man. But recording things really works in showing up things that aren’t right. So I’ll keep working on that!
THERE’S TOO MUCH MUSIC TO LEARN
So we’ll see how many chapters I write tomorrow. I didn’t get around to doing laundry, so I’ll have to do that tomorrow morning before I go on a run, hopefully a run with my friend, and then in the evening I am considering going back to the church and practicing some more even though it’s not my normal practice day. If I go late enough at night, no one will know or care. : )
I do want to keep writing. I wrote 12,000 words today, according to my Camp NaNoWriMo profile! Hee! If I do that much tomorrow, then I’ll have introduced Franz to the story! I’m excited for Franz. I keep adding characters, and Twilight Princess is already full of interesting characters! Just wait until the Resistance shows up! But anyway, in this chapter, Midna has some things to say, and Navi and Rana have some things to say back to her. o_O Goron Link also gets a cameo, heh. And can you guess what talisman Midna is talking about that protects against the Twilight? Here’s a hint… it’s not from Twilight Princess… it’s from a much earlier game! XD
I went to Sunfest yesterday! So I didn’t get any writing done. Or editing this chapter to post here. But I did listen to some great French-Canadian music (Genticorum is cool!) and a live salsa band and a crazy Romanian band.
Chapter 6 is being hard and I’m only a couple pages in. : P
Chapter 5: Epona’s Return
There was an air vent out of the basement, and he used it to struggle out into the open.
He emerged behind the chicken coop and sniffed experimentally. He couldn’t sense any other pieces of Light in the area, and hoped he was done with collecting it.
He was on his way to the Spirit’s Pool, which was tucked away into a corner of the canyon – if it had been there when he’d visited Kakariko before, he could understand why he missed it. Goddesses, the last time he’d visited the place felt like it was in a past life. Continue reading
Another chapter for you guys! Gonna make a start on the next one.
Chapter 3: Martyr Complex
Chapter 4: Faith
Link scrambled to his feet, shaking his head to clear it. His sword was already in his hand, although he didn’t remember drawing it.
Before him stood a mighty Stalfos, with eyes glowing blue, and ancient, weathered armour hanging off its bones. The plates of the armour were covered in intricate designs, including the Triforce. Link guessed this must have been a great Knight of Hyrule. It was too bad it was dead and evil, now.
Navi, Rana, and Naeri were nowhere in sight. In fact, the two of them stood in a vast foggy plain, with rocky scrub beneath their feet.
“Link,” said a voice, and the jaws of the Stalfos moved. The voice was hardly deeper than his own, not what he expected from the tall warrior spirit that stood before him.
“Huh?” Link said stupidly. Continue reading
