Ok, I’m almost ready to give you some more of the Chronicles of the ACP. But I can’t do that just yet. You see, I just added something in there that’s totally different from the rest of the story. And that is because I put in several female characters… all at once!
But before I go on, let me explain why I’m not just putting the story up right now. Now, I don’t really know if people will like the romance stuff (yeah, it’s there). And if I put it up now, it would look like the whole rest of the story would be romance. That’s not what the people who have already read the story so far want! So I must assure you, there’s some romance stuff, but mostly, there’s fighting!! Oh, and besides… the story’s not even halfway done yet. There will be a few chapters about all that stuff that only a minority of you want, but most the story will be FIGHTING! Now! Let me tell you about this stuff… maybe I’m wrong about the amount of people who want to read it. Who knows?
This idea came when I was in sort of a… er, I guess it was a romantic mood. I don’t know. I was just writing and I decided to make one of the UMA soldiers a girl! But it turned out far different than what first came into my mind. I mean, at first, it was going to be all like, I’m an ACP, and she’s a UMA, but that never even made it into writing.
The way it seems to be turning out seems better, however, because I’m incorporating that traitor guy I had in the battle of Breeze chapter into a later part of the story. Originally, he was just there because I didn’t have enough unique ideas for that battle. And since that was a very very important battle, it needed unique ideas!!
Anyway, back to my point: On my first attempt, when I was in that mood, you know? Well, I messed up that time. It turned out extremely cheesy. And I think the reason for that is because I was having some sort of a fantasy in my mind… and no one fantasizes realistically, do they? So after I had written several pages, I got rid of all of them! The last thing this story needs is a Romeo and Juliet story. The original Romeo and Juliet is fine, but people reuse the basic story for their own stories… Uh, what was I saying?
So, here’s how the cheesy version of the part where the girls come in went: I’m in the battle, and I knock off the helm of a heavily armored soldier. It turns out, that soldier is a girl. But my sword breaks when I knock the helm off. So she decides to help me by taking me to a hiding place. Oh, and I fall in love with this girl in this version… Anyway, her hideout actually contains not only her, but several girls. But the really dumb thing about all this was that within minutes, I asked out that first girl. Now, I don’t know if that sounds that cheesy. But the dialogue and everything was cheesy for sure. Now what did I learn from this? Apparently, a romantic mood may not be the best mood for writing a story that’s supposed to be about a war!
But I am glad to have some female characters in there. In the new version, some things are different. More importantly though, the dialogue is more realistic. And perhaps even more importantly, my character will actually have to win the girl over. She’s not going to just fall in love with him like she did in the lousy version! No way Jose! But I haven’t written that far yet. I’m writing the army stuff right now.
Ok, well I hope you don’t mind this stuff. I’m just worried… I mean, look at all the guys I know who complain about the book Twilight!! I do know a guy who has read them, however (and he’s not me).
