Well the progress on the chapter hasn't come along (yet), but that's because I haven't had time to sit down and work on it yet, which I'll get to once I finish updating my blogs.
HOWEVER, I have started to work on the setting and storyline for the second book in the series, mainly getting characters straight and worked out, not to mention trying to think of names for all of them.
I'm very hopeful I'll get the chapter finished and ready for a few people to preview as soon as possible, progress is slow currently due to me only really having time to write it Friday nights, and sometimes Saturday nights, depending how my weekend goes. At the end of October that will all change though as I'll be getting my laptop! :D Hooray!
I'll be dedicating most of my free time to working on the second book now, and trying to work out where to go with Rin's Crime, maybe if that starts taking off it might get somewhere. But I also have to fit in learning guitar and getting more knowledge into the various languages I'm learning. I'll get there though! ;)

Update 7
Well as mentioned in Myspace I've received demand for a sample chapter, so I shall deliver. I'll try and dedicate more time to getting that one finished, might take a while though, plus I'll get it copyrighted but that's not a major hassle.
I've made a start on Chapter 1 and I'm pleased with it so far, but part of me is worrying if it will be well-received, the last thing I want is to pour my heart and soul into this project only for it to fall flat. I suppose if that does happen at least I'll have the memories of the wonderful (in my eyes at least) world I created from my own imagination.
I suppose it's all down to me putting my very best effort in and hoping it succeeds, at least I know the idea sounds good to the people I've told about it, so that's a boost at least.

Update 6
Still in a bit of a buzz from having finished the storyline in all honesty, I'm really excited about this project beyond belief!
As I mentioned on the Myspace update, I'm going to set a time to sit down and read through my entire storyline as I'm sure there are a few inconsistencies I need to clear up, perhaps some things I've mentioned in the beginning and forgotten about or some things I bring up later on but haven't mentioned at the start.
That kind of thing, always annoys me when I read a story that's full of ideas that lead nowhere, and I doubt many people like reading books with loads of loose ends throughout. So by proof-reading the storyline I'll be ensuring everything ties up the way I'm wanting it to.
Also need to get the troublesome start out of the way, need to get a really good beginning going to captivate readers otherwise it has a danger of flopping.

Update 5
What an eventful week this has been, absolutely astounding!
Last weekend the map received some more work and is now taking a more defined shape, most of the regions have been outlined at least and some more detail has been added, it's still quite a way from being completed, not to mention the close-up maps for the individual books. But some progress is always better than no progress, and there'll be plenty of time between now and the end of the writing to get it finished, not to mention some cover art drawn up too.
Speaking of the end of things, Friday marked a very important moment. While on my lunch break I finally finished the entire storyline of Book 1, meaning that it is now completely ready to be written in full! I haven't been this excited about writing in a very long time, it does bring a small challenge though, all my work is on the PC, the notes were kept on my PDA and transferred to the PC usually every day. But I'll have to do all the writing on the PC, and I don't get much time at present to get on the PC, not to mention it takes ages to boot up and all, so the main writing will be progressing very slowly until I can get my laptop, enabling me to write on the go wherever I am.
Now that the storyline is finished I'll get to work on writing up a synopsis and getting it copyrighted before posting it up for everyone to read, I'll hopefully have that done before the next update or very soon after.
