Made great strides towards the completion of the first chapter. I don't really know wat methods other people use to formulate a story, but I typically do it in three stages: The pre-planning and outlining, where I define characters and chapters with further chapters in mind; The actual iteration and writing, where it is typed up(duh ); and the final proofreading-ish step, which is ironically not always the true end to my writing process depending on any ideas I've had or changes I want to help make the story more cohesive and fluid, which means my process may even start over from the first step.

Any-who, as I tend to ramble...and then mumble my ramblings...I'll succinctly say that the first chapter is officially 33.3334% done and likely will be up in about a week(unless of course, I can't think of a title for this as of yet unnamed piece of fiction).

Wow, long post.
