Forest City is back baby!!!

     Although production has slowed down on chapters, I am ready to start pushing out some chapters. I did some brainstorming on the final chapter and I really love how the story ends, so now I am pretty motivated to finish book 4 and start book 5, so I can begin rewriting every single chapter. It will be a long and tedious process, but no worries, it will all be worth it in the end because fleshing out the story is honestly the biggest priority of mine.

    My Microsoft Excel documents keep getting corrupted so I'm using Google for now on, it sucks to edit them because saving is taking forever and scrolling is awful, but at least it won't corrupt my files (for some reason excel hates having files in them, so I've decided to abandon Microsoft Word as well). This now means that all of my editing is taking place on a Google Doc, so hooray (that was sarcasm).

    I think that Microsoft Docs is superior to Google Docs in everything, but if it weren't for those Excel documents getting corrupted over October and November, I would still be using Microsoft. I do prefer sharing things on Google however, it is easier to make everyone anonymous and not have to worry about people getting the wrong document, etc.

    This isn't a review, just an issue that has caused me to abandon Microsoft Excel and Docs, if you've had this issue tell me down below because it is a weird one and after working 5 days on a project, it was quite frustrating to not be able to lose all of that work.

    One thing that has happened to me with the rewrite, is that all of the chapters go out of order so, now I'm going back and fixing that issue as well, but that is within the Google Doc and Microsoft Doc (once again, bye bye Microsoft). So that will take me some time. There is a new chapter coming out tomorrow, so mark your calendars (apology for the last one being so short and the hiatus).

    I do have some summatives going on for these last two days of school before break, but I plan on writing during my break time, I have some super, evil plans for the rest of book 4 and it's cold outside so now I have an excuse for staying inside and writing all day. >:)

Character Files: Monty

-
Image
      It kind of is funny to me that my first intentions when I made Monty was to have a nerdy character be the evil one. Monty originally was going to be a villain at first. I had made a business seagull dude that would be his father who was really mad that Cobalt was this teenager who constantly was getting in trouble with the law. Monty, I imagine, would go on the adventures with Cobalt and Mac just to spy on them. I feel he would have made a great twist villain in that story, but now Monty is a lot nicer... sort of. Monty has gone through the least changes in his design over time, I feel his personality has changed the most out of all the characters. Introducing! Incarnation 1: "Olive," was all Monty was, a simple little short dove character that hated mischief and only wanted order, like his father. I can imagine a good redemption arc for this character though. Incarnations 2: This isn't the only drawings of Monty, he has had some other drawings, but I found tha...

Forest City 3 Part 7 -Fancy House-

-
    I feel more homesick than ever, I walked alongside Cobalt, he decided to take me home after school with his mom so that I could meet her. I felt bad about Monty, I felt bad about Mr. Lupin , I felt bad about Bonnie, I felt bad about Cobalt, I felt bad about myself.     "Hey! Is something wrong?" Cobalt asked me as we walked out the school parking lot.     "I-I don't know, I just feel like I've done everything wrong," I answered, "I can't seem to find the words."     "Oh," Cobalt trailed off then tried to cheer me up by changing the conversation, "you'll like my mom." He seems to be avoiding the conversation.     We got into the car, Cobalt in the front, driver's side, his mom next to him, I sat behind Cobalt's mom and set our backpacks behind Cobalt's side.     "I believe, I've already met Mac, sweetie," Mrs. Lupin reminded Cobalt.     "Yeah, well, I don't think that it was a very g...
