Its been a while since I last updated my DA journal, but I figured if i start getting into a routine again then things may fall in place. Anyway enough about that, I guess I should say about the things I should have already done.

Wolf Chronicles Chapter 6 is still not done. I've found that I've been continually adding bits and pieces to it and that if I go with the original plan, it may take about 14 pages or so at the very least.I won't be splitting it up into two parts but at least you know why this is taking so long now. The main problem I'm having is making sure everything links up to the previous chapters so theres no real errors. Anyway I'm aiming to get it uploaded in the next month or so, and to get a sizable portion out of the way before MGS4 comes out, or its going to be another 3 months before anything happens.

As for my other stories "Hunter" and the "Bloodline" rewrite, I haven't touched them since the last update, mainly because the Wolf Chronicles chapter has been delayed so much I want that one up before i concentrate on them. Plus, both of these stories I'm hoping won't be as long as what Wolf Chronicles may become.

Now, to update you on the VGA site. Personally, I think its all but dead now. I HAD hoped to be able to get my drawing up to a reasonable standard in order to do my own, however I'm beginning to think that doing so even in the next 5 years, casually learning it, i may not achieve what I set out to do. I may still find other uses for the site but for right now, I guess the comics and stuff that I originally had plans for aren't going to happen anytime soon. As a result of this, I'm considering making a sort of blog on something like blogspot where i can keep the game reviews and also some insight into what goes on with the stories I'm currently writing. At least then I may be spurred on to actually updating fairly frequently.

Thats pretty much everything I have right now. Hopefully I'll be able to upload something soon.

Well its been a while so I figured I'd post how far i am to completing various things.

I'm a fair bit into hunter's first chapter, but its still going to take a while seeing as i want the first chapter to kinda say what the rest of the chapters will be like. Still I'm hoping it won't take much longer.

As for Wolf Chronicles chapter 6, its getting there, I'm always adding little bits and bobs to it, which kinda explains why its being put off for so long, seeing as i've got to make sure it corresponds to all the previous chapters.

As for bloodline, I've not had much chance to do the rewrite.

Thats about it for everything at the moment.

Yes finally, chapter 5 has been put up, sorry for the long wait, I just hope it justifies itself.

After this I'll be working on chapter 6, hunter chapter 1 and putting off the bloodline rewrite a little while longer.

Thats about it for this time.

Ok, a few people in the past few days know that I have been driving them mad, because I've been waiting for a new pc. It arrived yesterday and I've only got it hooked up to the net this afternoon. Its mainly meant as a games machine but of course, it'll be used for my stories and stuff, mainly cause the keyboard is a lot bloody better.

Thanks the 2.1 speakers I got with it im playing a lot of songs I haven't listened to in a while and I'm enjoying listening to them again. But enough of that you want to know what I'm going to say about the work done so far.

Well Wolf Chronicles chapter 5 is in a similar state as before, but hopefully this new keyboard and the fact I'm itching to get on with finishing the chapter before my birthday, will spur me on to finishing it. As for the special thing I'm going to do, I've decided to try to get Hunter chapter 1 finished and the Bloodline intro done as well. I would do the Wolf Chronicles rewrites but to be quite honest, I don't want to rush the rewrites.

Other than that, all thats left to say is that theres been a rant journal uploaded to VGA's forums and that another will follow shortly (expect one about my old computer soon).

Finally, does anyone know where to get the Tales Of The Abyss US opening music? The one without the lyrics?
I've heard that theres instrumentals on the OST but I only want that one song and its doing my head in trying to find it.

Just a little journal update to say that i've gotten my creative spark back in my writing and im tearing ahead with Wolf Chronicles Chapter 5 and i have 6 pages of its first draft done. Its shaping up to be a great chapter worthy of contiuing on from chapter 4. Also, after having read through a number of my previous chapters, and seeing as even though my 21st is coming up in a few weeks time, i figured i'd do something for it. So i have a few thngs that I could do in order for something special to say thanks for supporting Wolf Chronicles past its first year.

I currently have a couple of things in mind:

Hunter Chapter 1
The new Bloodline intro
Rewrites of Wolf Chronicles Chapters 1-4 to include anything i may have missed.

Bear in mind will only be able to do two of these things in time, so which would you like me to do? The beginning of the Hunter story? an intro for Bloodline to see how it will begin (and i promise none of the first person crap) or the Wolf Chronicles Rewrites?

Or do you have a suggestion of your own? So long as its not something outlandish, or involves sprite art or me drawing, then feel free to suggest it.

On that note then, thats the end of this current journal. Hopefully my next update will mean more progress or even the release of chapter 5. Here's Hoping eh?
