How to read the chapter examples:
There are 8 posts on the page at a time. You can scroll down to the one that is "chapter one for beginners to the site" and read up from there. All "older" writting is listed as "old stuff." These are writtings that have changed over time or may not even be in the book. I left them on the blog to show how things change in the process. Enjoy, and check us out on facebook. --Jon

New post
It has been six months since my back operation. I am just now getting around and able to do things again. Right after the surgery, I removed the daily blogging and only kept the book chapters up online. I am now ready to continue the process blogging. There are comments made on the Facebook Fanpage; but, they do not have my thought processes in regards to writing. Right now there are stacks of paper in my living room as I try to organize what has been done up until now. There are research papers, character studies and many yellow notebooks of ideas and thoughts on the book. If I compiled all of them I would have written this book several times over. I am making changes to the first four chapters to change the misinformation on who Epos is. He is “protector” but not “savior”. That role is given to Adminius. This caused some re-writing. Especially with chapter three. Been receiving ideas and writing from Tom on chapters in the “second act” of the book. I am also getting involved again with a writer’s critique group and have started reading to them the book from the very beginning. They are a great source of encouragement. I saw a book in Borders bookstore yesterday that I liked the cover. Reading about the author, I saw he lives close to me. Thought about looking him up or communicating with him about the writing / publishing process. I go far on a little encouragement, so drop a line to my email, make a comment on here, or check out the facebook page. -- Jon
