Legend of the 10 Elemental Masters - a behind the scenes look

Ever wonder why I haven't been uploading anything to YouTube or updating my website? I've been working on my story, the one I originally wrote in June of 1999 (yes, that means it's about 9.5 years old by now). The story's preface explains a lot about its history. The video explains some of the basics. I do plan on releasing this story to book stores after copyright has been processed which takes a long time. Hopefully, I can have it in book stores by Christmas of 2009. Beforehand, after copyright is registered (which takes several months) and I get the certificate, it'll be available only through the publisher suggested by an E-mail. The video explains this as well. I've still got a few rounds of editing and could finish before Christmas.

Edit: I forgot to mention what my story is about! It's about a criminal from the distant future wreaking havoc on the past and a spell-casting alien is Earth's only hope. My website (category 6) explains it in more detail.

Just bought this last night :)

If so, you'll have revision 12, the most recent revision and I have no plans on revision 13 for a while either.

Awesome, I'm excited to read it!

[ulillillia]

I'm also highly considering making an audio book version of this as well, of which I intend on containing the secrets behind the making of the story. I also have thoughts of making an expanded version of the story - more details, more story, and a few others.

A group of chapters is generally called a 'part'

[ulillillia]

The only considerable change is that of the appendix (I forgot about this part). The only difference is that of the stat descriptions in appendix 2 - extra details are added about the stats. The story itself, other than 2 characters in the place covered during act 6 getting named (due to an overlooked detail, of which one character, the main one used, has). This is about all I can think of. You'll see the appendix in the new preview on Lulu, once I finish the ISBN implementation.

That's a relief. I thought that the copy that I purchased was going to be missing a new chapter!

I also have another question, but I am going to send it as a private message.

[ulillillia]

It's almost entirely just basic grammar things such as having a period instead of an exclamation. Spelling errors are rare for me in the first place unless it's an unknown word. The differences are almost unnoticed. Once I get done eating tomorrow, I'll get the distribution stuff set up though it'll likely be another 2 or 3 months before the entire process is finished and the book gets in stores. By buying it on Lulu, you can get the latest release much earlier and I'll get a bigger profit.

@ulillillia

Is there any huge differences between my version and the new version? Such as new chapters?

Or is it just spelling/grammar?
