User blog:Brandon Rhea/THE CHOSEN ONE: Content release announced for January 17th



Yeah, yeah, yeah, I know. I take a long time to release chapters sometimes. My last one was just over a month ago, on November 29th. This blog post is here to say, though, that the next content release for The Chosen One, plus The Alternative Essential Guide to Characters, will be either on or before Sunday, January 17, 2010, which is just over a week from now.

The delay should be a bit obvious. My last deadline, November 29th, was just after Thanksgiving, and then right after that was studying for finals, followed by Christmas, then New Years, etc. I also slowed down a bit because there’s a BATTLE scene in one of the chapters, and I suck at those so they always hold me up. In fact, each of the three chapters I’ll be releasing for this content release has some sort of fight or battle in it, which should be pretty fun.

Here’s a breakdown of everything I’ll be releasing:

The Chosen One
 * Chapter 16 - “Measure of a Man” (title could change)
 * Chapter 17 - “Sacrifice”
 * Chapter 18 - currently unnamed, but it continues the plot with Mace Windy

The Alternative Essential Guide to Characters
 * An entry on Sotab Jacoma, provided I receive submissions for it
 * Two other entries that I won’t reveal until I actually release them

The three TCO chapters will end “Part 1 - Discovery” of the novel, and it’ll definitely end with a bang...literally. Prepare for a lot of unexpected moments in these chapters, and in the rest of the novel for that matter. Chapter 19 will begin “Part 2 - Conspiracy.” Cue ominous music.

Until next time,
