《Building Home》Question for this book
Advertisement
I'd like to thank you all for coming along on this journey with me. I started writing this book because there are not enough Sci-Fi stories in the genre out there. Then I realized that I was doing too much out of game. Book 2 will be more in game, and thre... well, I need to figure that one out as I am doing this all.
This is the first thing i have written in God knows how long. Definitely the first thing I have written in over a decade that isn't shit poetry.
With me hving finished the First book of this series (I'm planning between three and five in total), how would you like me to proceed with the re-writes?
I have seen some authors post the revisions for the chapters after the original drafts, and that appeals to me because there is a draft history there. But...
If I was to just do that then I that would make this book appear a lot longer than it actually is. As my current manuscript stands I am at abou 92k words. Not bad for something I started to write because I was bored.
So my other option is to edit out the existing chapters. If I do that then we would end up with reposts of the chapters having them be completed removed and rewritten.
That appeals to me because then the "length" stays accurate to the work I am doing. Still 40 chapters instead of appearing as 80 chapters.
As you can see, that is a lovely decision to make.
First, I need to get all my punctuation squared away. Then I need to get the wrong words corrected due to fast typing (how many times did I type "thing" instead of "think" for instace?)
Last I need to just clean the crap out of chapter 1 and 2. Maybe some more on 3-15 as well. ugh. So much work for a damned hobby.

I am also planning on, with my next draft, adding a "who's who" of the characters. I already noticed that I changed some peoples names around in the same chapter (oops) because I didn't remember naming them.
As for the other thing, the tables. I am going to go with the blue boxes in my edit that I will be posting. I will be doing this for scaling sake for the mobile users. When necessary I will change the color of the boxes (there's only going to be one or two times when necessary), so finding the right colors to use is paramount.
I also need to come up with a better name than "dragons" for the psychic bastards.

Virtuous Cultivation
-July 10, 2022- Stocked Chapters: 8 I'm out of hiatus, but honestly, I can't trust myself to post consistently anymore... A new arc is about to begin, and I'll start posting again once the entirety is done. It might take a year, but honestly, this story is going to go on for the foreseen future anyway... so I suppose that's just a blip in the grand scheme of things? I'll leave updates here every once in a while, if for some reason you're still actively checking on this incredibly slow story T-T The path of cultivation is often portrayed as one stained by bloodshed. But is that truly necessary? Heaven is merciful, after all. On a rather ordinary day, a peasant girl was whisked away by a strange old man. In a hall of great white jade, she was offered the chance to cultivate. ...too bad she's as lazy as a sloth. Slice of life Xianxia with fairly little action in early chapters, more focused on comedy.
