Arthur… the neverending story

Posted by on Feb 9, 2005 in Personal, Writing

How long have I been buried in Arthur’s myth now? 10 years? More like 15…
Oh, Dear…

I still can’t figure what prompted me to finally write down my own version.
Must have been an unknown virus or bug… Paris air is veeeeeery dangerous…

Ok, I did spend most of my sleepless nights of the last month on the myth again.

Outcome was:
- I finally got my plotting done [time: 5 years ... go figure]

- wrote around 30’000 words [yay! and I thought I never had the patience to go through with it... hu...]

- I did not kill off Galahad… what an accomplishment

- managed to write up some decent bad guys… and then a beta reader thought my battle scenes were not bloody enough. Huh?

- I learned that there is no such thing as a beta reader anymore… only beta thinkers. What has the world come down to?

- got some stunning reviews [ego... ego... back into the box... now!!!], at least someone is interested in reading this…

- Bart swamped me with compliments *blush* (that’s because he hasn’t read the last chapter yet… )

I think I can stop writing the story now… hell, the pathos level even drives my blood sugar high, and I am the author…
