Thus begins the second journal of Rach!


Yay me!!


Today I finished off the editing/rewriting of the 4th chapter of my first book of a series I'm gonna call, The Mana Wars (Norsk: Mana Krigen(e)) so now I've only got about four or five more chapters to edit - not rewriting this time. So, that's actually wooting matters! Woot!

Geez. I thought it was gonna take a month top, from the moment I finished writing the final chapter till I finished editing and rewriting the chapters that needed a whittle fixing upping^^ It's taken three months so far, and I've still got work to do. Fortunately I'm in my last stage of editing... personally that is; I figure that whatever publisher that wants my book - and whatever editor that gets the enormous task of editing it, would want to edit it themselves before it's published... it's gonna take forever to get published... yay

I've already started to make plans for the second book... bah, if only I didn't have to write in Norwegian. From the very beginning, the whole Concept was meant to be in English, it would make things a whole lot easier for me. It's not that the focus was the language of course, but I am of the belief that Norwegian should not be used as a language for Sci-Fi and Fantasy literature. It may sound fascist, and maybe it is, but once you've tried for the tenth thousandth time to correct a sentence to make sure it doesn't sound... taterish (taters as in potato eller på godt norsk: pottitnorsk).

Sorry, just months of annoyance surfacing here. After having spent over 3 years carefully building up the story of the universe in which the Mana Wars are set, with the writing of the book, the plotting and scheming, and having to do so in a language that was never meant to feature such things... one can get pretty grumpy, I suppose

But yayz, it looks like I'm soon seeing light at the end of the tunnel here. So that's all good. I'm gonna get a nice long vacation as soon as this book is published... I think... I hope

Thanks for readin
