So. I've learned some things from writing this story the way I did. The first story I wrote, I learned that over-planning and excessive focus on details can stifle my flexibility. With this story, I've learned the opposite: too little planning and too much improvisation can lead to a lackluster, poorly paced, and most importantly, inconsistent story.

I should have better planned out the magic system, terms, and just how it works in general. During the graveyard chapters, I kept cycling between four or five different terms for the ghosts and spirits and such. Later, I just said, screw it, and properly defined the terms without going back and changing anything.That is an example of something that could have been avoided with proper planning.

To be clear, I started this story with the intent to improvise almost all of it on the fly. I wanted to see how I performed without an outline already in mind, and take what I could from that experience. It has definitely yielded results, and I am glad I did so.

This tale has been pilfered from Royal Road. If found on Amazon, kindly file a report.

But, as a reader, I'm sure you're disappointed. Fear not, I will be writing more, but this time with an outline and proper planning. The magic system and terms will be pre-defined, major plot points planned in advance, and maybe even a consistent upload schedule.

The rework/rewrite will still have Taz and Greg, though most likely in different roles. They will still both be college dropouts, but that is all I will say is set in stone.

I am already working on the rework, making notes and outlines and such. I do not know when I will have a chapter out, but I will be linking to that story with one more chapter here, and then marking this as DROPPED.

Thank you for reading!
