User blog:Brandon Rhea/THE CHOSEN ONE: Update, November 1, 2009



Hey, remember when I said I was going to have three new chapters for The Chosen One out by October 11th only to put out one? Remember then how I said the next two, plus two essays about characters and the like, would be out by October 17th?

Lol.

Yeah, didn’t exactly happen that way. I’ve been busy, and I was sick for about a week and a half at the end of the month, but I’m still working away on the chapters. Chapter 13 is coming along well, and I might actually combine it with Chapter 14. I’m not absolutely sure yet. I’m writing them as individual chapters and then I’ll determine whether they’d work well together or separate.

Chapter 13 should be a fun one. Not only does it dive into some Alternative Saga mythology, but it also uses real world mythological archetypes and other mythological figures to tell a very important part of the story. It’s in regards to Annikin, and we really find out more about him, what he fears, what he desires, and other things of that sort. Tentatively, the chapter is titled “What You Take With You,” a throwback to Yoda’s line in The Empire Strikes Back when talking about the Dagobah cave.


 * Luke: What’s in there?
 * Yoda: Only what you take with you.

So that’s a nice throwback, one that will even appear in this chapter in dialogue (albeit not with Yoda, of course). Chapter 14 then gives us some action, plus even more Alternative Saga mythology. I’m looking forward to that one for a number of reasons.

I don’t know what the release dates will be, but I’ll keep you updated.
