User blog:Brandon Rhea/THE CHOSEN ONE: Update, September 15, 2009


 * sigh*



It’s been over two months since I last released a chapter for The Chosen One. I’ve been working very sporadically on Chapter Ten, which continues the Mace Windy story arc and brings him to Kamino where he finds out more about the clone army supposedly being created to destroy the Republic, but for some reason I just haven’t been able to get “in the zone,” as I say, to write. It’s not writers block since I know exactly what I need to write. It’s just for whatever reason, I haven’t felt like writing.

Well I’ve finally written the entire chapter out in script form, which I often do when I can’t seem to get into the zone. I’ve also started to use that to write out more the narrative (I’ve previously written six pages) itself, which I hope to have sent to Solus by the end of this weekend. Based on how long it takes her to edit it, I’m also hoping to get the chapter released by then as well.

After Chapter Ten, titled “Empires of the Future,” focus will shift back to the Tatooine story arc and will continue the story of Annikin Skywalker, who will continue to learn more and more about his destiny. Things such as the Journal of the Whills, which some characters also refer to as the “Prophecies of The Skywalker,” will also be touched on, diving deeper and deeper into the Alternative Saga mythology. Maul will make another appearance, along with a henchman he’s brought along for the ride...or, shall we say, a henchwoman: Lilith. Those of you who are familiar with Jewish and Mesopotamian lore may have some clues as to the significance of the name Lilith and how she’ll relate to Annikin.

I hate delays, but it is what it is. I hope to stick to my aforementioned release schedule this time. For any of you who may be reading The Chosen One, I apologize for the wait.

Until next time.
