Yeah, I know I said I was just going to update the previous post when I actually had the first draft of Paradise completed, but I said that before realizing I was going to be going home a day earlier. It’s taken me a few extra days to go through the draft I had a couple times (especially since I kept re-writing segments over and over) but this is, officially, the first draft of the first chapter. If you want overviews and such, then just go and read the last post.

Chapter 1 (HTML, DOC, or PDF)

And the general folder where I upload the drafts as I “complete” them can be found at http://www.polycat.net/trent/book/. If you have any general comments, then please by all means e-mail me or just leave a comment to this entry… Or some kind of combination deal if that’s your thing. Currently any feedback on style, pacing, specific or, best of all, general content would be absolutely awesome to the max. Grammatical comments are welcome as well, though preferably not of the “you missed a comma on page 4, sentence 5″ variety unless you have a fairly substantial list worked up.

Alright, hope you enjoy it. I’ll probably start work on Chapter 2 in a week or two. Still drafting some basic ideas for the chapter. It’ll be a good’un. I think it’ll primarily be centered more around the story of what kind of place they’re living in (though I don’t think I’m going to get into the why yet). The real crazy stuff won’t be breaking out quite yet, but I may lay a few of the foundations for it.
