Novel Update 2

The plot main plot outline and most of the sub-stories have been finished, plus I've already completed the ending. I had hoped to make a trilogy and I think that I've got enough potential storyline left over to do just that, so I present 'The Broken History' trilogy:

-Mana: The Shadows of Destiny
-Mana: Shattered in Time
-Mana: Fate Rising

Novel Update

Keeping in line with the new storyline for 'Mana: The Rising' I have changed the novel title to something a little more appropriate to the story, it's now 'Mana: The Shadows of Destiny' (somewhat cliched I know, but I'll probably whittle it down to something that's less of a mouthful nearer the time of seeking publication). The revised version has a pretty high body count already and the main adventure really hasn't even begun yet, but I'm aiming for 'bleak' so its all good.

As a small aside I have written a short children's adventure based on a historical event from the same world. This is a surprisingly good creative tool for building legends that may or may not get referenced in the main story but certainly help to add more depth to the world.

Another Joke

It's late afternoon and Miss Wilson has just started her English lesson for her Primary 7 class, today they are learning more complicated words.
"Ok class, our first word is 'contagious'. Can anyone use this word in a sentence?"
Wee Sammy at the back of the class raises his hand, "Please Miss. Yesterday our neighbour was painting his fence with a 1 and a quarter inch brush and me da' said it would take the contagious."
