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

update
Today I uploaded the updated edit on chapter one. Only minor changes with "ing" verses "ed" words, some commas and a couple of lines for clarification. Mostly tightening it up after I read it to the critique group. The plan right now is to continue reading to the critique group, finish rewrite of chapter three (fire) and four (return) and finishing the first act (or "book"). I am getting together with Tom this weekend to go over some new material and set some immeadiate goals. Doing the detail work is frustrating, but necessary. Some writers do the "write three times" method where they do a draft of the whole thing, then go back and do a second write with edits and then a third write to get ready for the editor/publisher. Unfortunately, I have not been able to do that. With every rewrite , however, I hone my craft and get better. I guess when it is sharp enough I will take it to battle. Maybe not the best way to do it, as there is always a flaw in their somewhere. I imagine their are artists who are like this, always going back to the painting and adding a dab here and there. The difference is having a work that is finished or having a "finished" work.
