I write like...

Hey, so, there's this site that takes samples of your writing and decides who you write most like.

I've been putting in the various chapters in order, and so far I think I've gotten: Oscar Wilde, Dan Brown, Dan Brown, Jonathan Swift, Anne Rice, feck! More Dan Brown! Crap. Scarred for like; I might as well quit; I'm a hack...but when I put in the whole story...wait for it...OSCAR WILDE! Yes!

Amphersand, Dollar Sign, asterix...

For some reason Oraphan Cycle has decided to lock itself from editing...yeah...ummm...I can't work on it, in other words...I hate technology.

ARGGGHHH!

Sorry for the utter cessation of Ben Thompson Brooks: Boy Necromancer. I'm really close to being done with the overall story of Oraphan Cycle and really trying to churn it out. There will of course be lots of editing, especially for how the different characters dialogue, making each voice more distinct and more consistent with their personalities. So, yeah, almost done. Cross your fingers.

Oh, dear

Ha, its been forever since my last update. I've been consumed with trying to finish Oraphan, and I'm almost there. Hopefully the ending will not dissapoint; the climax was definitely somewhere in the middle, but I'm hoping to make up for it by stringing along the reader and making him want the next in the series, with numerous cliffhangers...hehehehehehehehehhe...hehehehe. Still a relatively short book by modern fantasy standards, at only around 90k words, around 300 pages. So maybe it'll take me a bit longer to finish then I like, but I feel if I go ahead and go into the next major narratives, it will end up too long. Guess I'll have to see what my agent things about it...when I get one.
