Alpha Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 The Wanders should be finished by tomorrow and then it will enter editing phase. When is Year 7 starting?This Monday, though I'm expecting it to be closed by the end of April. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alpha Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 Well, Amulet hit the 10,000 word mark today. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hiccup Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 Well, Amulet hit the 10,000 word mark today. The Wanders has swept past 5,000 words. Even with future editing it will still stand over 7,000 words probably. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
riczhang Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 I've already learnt that I probably shouldn't ever rewrite my films. Every time I do they seem to get longer 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ezen Baklattan Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 The Rich & Famous is still going to be a pretty basic dramedy, but the final act may be surprisingly dark for some. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hiccup Posted March 23, 2013 Share Posted March 23, 2013 I am tempted to ask if anybody would want to read The Wanders but part of me wants to keep it secret until Tuesday or Wednesday when I post it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChD Posted March 23, 2013 Share Posted March 23, 2013 I am tempted to ask if anybody would want to read The Wanders but part of me wants to keep it secret until Tuesday or Wednesday when I post it. First thing that came to my mind when reading this. "Let them read it...""BUT IT'S MY PRECIOUS.""Hiccup, Hiccup. Let them read it...""BUT, MASTER... NOOO" 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hiccup Posted March 23, 2013 Share Posted March 23, 2013 If I do let people pre-release read it, I am cutting the ending out. That is TOP TOP SECRET until release Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hiccup Posted March 23, 2013 Share Posted March 23, 2013 I can read it if you want. You want to read it? The middle part I have to expand but you can get the basic understanding what is going on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChD Posted March 23, 2013 Share Posted March 23, 2013 I decided to change the ending to Heavy Rain compared to the story I'm currently following. Although the actions (in the game) mean a certain ending, I changed it to another one that fits... in my opinion (Don't know if people will like it or not, though).

ChD Posted March 23, 2013 Share Posted March 23, 2013 First draft of Heavy Rain: Finished... It took me 3 hours to finish this last part (Which only was like 5-6K words). Current word count: 21.37K Words (92000 characters). Estimated word count after rewrite: 22-25K. Estimated run time: 3-3.5 hrs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

riczhang Posted March 23, 2013 Share Posted March 23, 2013 I'm doing some minor rewrites, and editing downs, for all my films. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChD Posted March 23, 2013 Share Posted March 23, 2013 And I'm still hoping it'll limit itself at 25K words... Might end up even longer with a decent re-write. This first draft is as rough as possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heavy Rain, for all the hype, boils down to a murder/mystery with multiple storylines, none of which are particularly complex or elaborate once you eliminate the choice aspect and focus on a single narrative drive. There is no reason it should be that long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
