Bit of a change around and previous updates

Yeah, there's been a slight change of plan with the blogs. Rather than this being my general writing blog, it's now entirely focused on the Cycle of Corruption books. The Myspace blog is now the hub of my writing in general, my aim is to have several blogspot blogs, each of them solely focused on one of my projects.

For the benefit of new followers, I'll include my previous two updates before writing a new one.

Update 1:

As it stands I have all of my characters named for the book, I also have a book title (at last), which is “Heart of Corruption” and a series/trilogy (depending how many I decide to write) name too! Which is “Cycle of Corruption”. Seems to be a bit of a theme here…

As far as the actual writing progress has started the book hasn’t even been properly touched yet, I’m getting together the basic plotline to help with the writing process and try to minimise instances of writer’s block. As far as the plotline goes I’d estimate I’ve got a solid plot for about half (or more) of the book, as well as ideas to happen later on in the books, not to mention an ending. And there may already be brief storyline ideas for another two books somewhere in my home computer.

Update 2:

Progress on the storyline is steadily evolving, at the moment I’m facing a bit of an idea gap, I’ve gotten ideas all the way up to this point and an ending, so now I’m having to push myself to think of events and storyline to go between now and the end of the book, I have one small idea for future use but that’s somewhat minor. It’s a little tough but I’ll persevere.

I’m also starting to compile a list of fantasy publishers so I have an idea of the market, if either of you have any suggestions for publishers you’ve seen around, feel free to send them to my hotmail address.

Also, I’ve started work on something that no fantasy book is complete without, a MAP! Or rather, a series of maps. I’ve gotten an idea for the ‘world map’ and that’s down on paper (but subject to alteration). As for the other maps, they’ll be more detailed sections of the world map that the individual books deal with. My overall idea on the maps is to have to world map at the start of every book and then in the first book have a second map which shows the areas the story deals with, same for the following books.
