You're enjoying this making me suffer way too much. ;)
Well, you could have written your version of what happened to Liselle and Aiselle...
You know you enjoy the sweet agony. ;)

Well, I could have, but it felt like a conflict of interest writing about what happened to the first wife.
It's not so much the agony as that I like the surprise of not knowing what happens next.
But I am thinking of writing up the rest of LJ's origin story. I have some ideas percolating. :)

But you could have bumped her off quick. Now you risk Ch'ack getting arrested for bigomy. ;)
Actually, I surprise myself sometimes when I write. When I put pen to paper my mind works differently. This is the most work I've put into a character ever.
I bet LJ was first born on the back of a shooting star. ;)

No worries. Ch'ack Hammer can't get arrested for bigamy. He never married LJ. He does still have to deal with the complications of having two families though. :)
You have a real talent for writing, and I've really been enjoying this story so far. Me, I'm enjoying the mental break of not having to be in charge of every aspect of the story. I do well with collaborations, but I burned out on writing pretty bad after the last failed novel writing attempt. I had such detailed background. I even wrote a language. But every page of story felt like I was being subjected to some sort of horrible punishment.
And LJ's origins are surprisingly normal. :)

Thank you. Bonus for you - Part 2
I hear you on the writing burnout. When you get bogged down in the mechanics/details it loses the fun.
Hurrah! Part 2! :)
All I read was "The journal of blah blah blah." Then I stopped reading that crap you call writing.
Hey, I'll suffer with the rest, but I'm not going to be nice about it. ;)EDIT: Hey, Part 2! *Reads*
So...he summoned the Aslan ripoff? This story makes no sense. Give it up.

Look, keep your silverfish out of the books...oh wait, is that your doing? Well, I guess we could call is writing, but I'd prefer we just clean up the books.

You're just grumpy 'cause someone stole your crayons. I'll mail you some new ones.
Part 3 up.
Part 3 up.
Wow, that was lame.
Part 3 up.Wow, that was lame.
Well, Pirate Day is coming up and I have to practice with my peg leg.
Part 4 has Ice Spiders in it. Are you brave enough to bear all the details on how they sneak up to you while you are sleeping and bite you, but that the bite is so cold you don't feel it? Then they plant their little Ice Spider egg sacks into the wound and you get eaten from the inside out? But not dying until parts of your body turn black from frost bite no matter how warm you try to keep yourself?
Hmmm...spiders. Yeah, we need spiders. Creepy, crawling spiders with coldness in their multi-faceted little eyes.
Gotta research spiders so I can get all the details just right.

I'd be scared, but that bad pun kind of made me numb...

Oh, there's not a book full of jokes lying in wait on this line..... ;)
As inspired by KC, Part 4 is up. :)
Yeah, part four is exceptionally icky as it describes the little ice spiders. Good work. :)
Part 5, and the spiders get bigger. :)

We haven't gone into the after effects of the spider venom on her daddy yet. Hmmm, ideas. 8-legged ideas. That can leap. Hmmm...

Sigh...I now have to go. Sorry about leaving you hanging, will come back soon as possible.

It's fine. It gives me a chance to write the last couple of memory entries before Arielle comes running home to Mommy for help.

Hurray! :)
Sadly, this still feels like a Cliff Notes version. I don't spend the time to fill out everything. Meh, I guess it's more of a draft than anything. Still, it's fun to brain dump. :)

It is fun. And I encourage more of it. :)
I'm enjoying the story very much. It's very suspenseful right now.
Mixed it up a bit with some dialogue to keep it from being too routine.
Mixed it up a bit with some dialogue to keep it from being too routine. Very quiet day here. Lots of people took the day off due to the power outage this morning.
Okay, I am not liking you very much right now. You made me cry. :(
There better be more to this story....
(Yeah, you know you're doing good when people get mad at you for putting your characters through horrible things.)

Yay! You admitted crying! Yay!
LOL. "Only the dead or her servants could enter..." kinda cliche, but it works
Yes, there's more. :)
You'll probably cry some more in part 10, but hopefully some happy tears mixed in. I rushed it a bit though.
Yes, there's an epilogue still due.

Nice. You took that a direction I wasn't expecting.
*taps foot impatiently while waiting for epilogue* ;)

*whistles innocently* What? You thought that the Ch'acks wouldn't search for their own? Even in spirit form? ;)
They can hold a grudge when someone is that evil, and we're pretty persistent. :)
Holy...crap. I think Jack Hammer just died.
Death is but another page of the book. There are many pages yet to be written.
Very good story. I enjoyed it. Even if it was hard to wait to find out what happened next from time to time. :)
And yes, you made me cry twice with this one.

:) Thanks! Though I rushed the epilogue. It's sloppy in a couple of spots.

I think that's just a function of the medium being used for the story. Could it be cleaned up into something better? Sure. But I would much rather read an unpolished story that has interest and excitement than a technically perfect one that is dull.

Thanks again. Glad you enjoyed it. I got swept up into it myself.
Now to rest my fingers. :)
Very nice. Go rest those fingers for a few :)
