The path of exile part one
" Hmmmmm... didnt think of that. The advantages of a large community :D Time to take this to the drawing board again. I'm going to have like 10 different part ones by the end of it I bet >.< Still, might make for a good read (or bad) if I post some of the scraped or other possibles that I come up with. but we shall see ;) "Look at it this way: The longer it takes before you get your key or the game goes to open beta, the better the game will be when you finally get to play!" quote from Garr0t |

Write an outline.
That's bold because it's important. Write an outline. Decide where you want to begin, end, and how you want the character to get there. Decide on conflicts, and on how the gap between getting from start to finish is going to be made interesting for the reader. This involves making the character real and relatable, they have to have failures, and emotions, and they have to interact with people and overcome obstacles and grow as a person in some way during the adventure. This also involves you knowing your character, and their flaws and weaknesses, and making them face these, so you might be better off creating a character, then an outline, then writing the middle bits in (They're the easy bits.) It's what I had to do before starting up Walking the Path (http://ryukaki.com shameless plug whee) You can do flash fiction, as well, where you just write from the seat of your pants, and maybe that's actually better for this situation, because you're not currently aiming to be a professional writer XD Either way, have fun with it!

So, after finally getting home from my after school stuffs, I have what I think to be my final rewrite of this part >.< Its almost there, maybe 20 mins of dedicated writing will finish the part and I can get working on part 2.
Now that I think of it though... I need to start rewatching some PoE vids, cause I dont remember enough of the game after the shore encampment to continue writing the story past part 3 or 4. The disadvantage of doing this while not in the beta I suppose...
