    So transferred it to a Word document and am beginning the formatting. Did like 4 chapters. So far, the format looks clean and simple to me. It's now 41 chapters and a prelude though. Split Chapter I into two chapters and the prelude which are just the Tenets. And I have less notes than I thought I did. I also had to change the numbering for the chapters, using Arabic numerals instead of Roman. Roman numerals looked awful in the font I was doing the chapters in.

    Just a wee update. I formatted the text for the pdf and I'm so confident about its 12/18/2015 release, that I went and done did an artsy thingy.   More shadows for our favorite Altmer Paladin.

    Well, I done released the pdf. I posted a blog that has it and it's linked to my TOC. 

    Straag Rod Book 1 Part 1

    So what's happening now in the world of Straag Rod? 

    Busy, busy, busy. 

    Part 2 will start in January. It was already completed,  just needs editing. I need to compose the music for Part 1 and release sound files to you guys. Two songs need setting. Working on Book 1's remaining songs is a good idea too. 

    I plan on doing AMOST, but only one story. A comedy to lighten the mood. I will be creating a separate TOC for it though, so stay tuned, it's not the only story that'll eventually go there, but rather a collection of short stories. Stories that are not related to the overall plot of Straag Rod, but are fun stories to tell. 

    Using the rest of December, I hope, to complete Part 4. I'm off for about 2 weeks, from both jobs, so I'll see how far I get. 

    Again, thanks to everyone. Preparing the pdf took a lot of time and I appreciate your patience.

    Made some progress in Part 4, got about 4500 words in, so that only leaves about *cough* 50,000 *cough*.

    When do I want to do this by, oh yeah, January 1st. Let's see if this happens. I want to finish Book 1, just not quite sure how many words that will take.

    Seems reasonable; and I have some lovely real estate in the Shivering Isles for you! Buy quick before these manic prices jump to demented levels!

    I'm almost done with book 1 and the first part of book 2 is already planned. It won't be 2035.

    That's the year after. 

    And love Jar Jar in his new robes, by the way. Things are as they should be.
