April 24th, 2008
I have just posted my short story, "A Bottle of Whiskey," which marks a temporary close to the major construction of the site (gives self a big pat on the back). I will continue to add writing guides and information regarding my novel.
If everything goes as planned, I will send in my novel this summer and will post the status of the manuscript. I will know for sure by the fall/winter of this year (if things go as planned) whether or not it is rejected or accepted.
I would also love to welcome anyone who would like to submit a guest writing guide to do so. Feel free to visit my forum, too!
You will also find that when you click on "History" in the Kaladè section that it takes you to a construction page that is because the page will not be uploaded until publication... and even then the full version with 8,000-some years won't be posted, so I do not give away plot points of some of my books ^_^.

I have made more progress in my novel, and God-willing, I will be out of Part One within a few weeks, leaving only two more parts to go.
As far as the website goes, most everything is up and operational. I have just changed the navigation (included a hover down feature) and have uploaded more to my gallery in the goodies section. All that really remains is to post "A Bottle of Whiskey," which I should have up sometime this week with or without illustrations.
There are still several bugs with Internet Explorer, though the major ones are fixed. All I can really say to those viewing with Internet Explorer is that you should switch to Mozilla Firefox, a free and better browser than Internet Explorer. I have already accepted the fact that I cannot combat all the bugs that IE produces; it is not a good browser and is a designer's worst nightmare.

I have just posted "A Language Neither Men or Sheep Understand," and once again, I would like to say that it is not a story for the weak-hearted, especially when it comes to animals. Next on my goal's list is to make the site more compatible with Internet Explorer since a majority of web-users are still using it. I will also be working hard on trying to finish up illustations to my short story, "A Bottle of Whiskey."
April 13th, 2008
I have just posted the newest guide, "Spreads to Get Ideas Moving," in the Writing Guide section. Feel free to read it, and if you have comments post them in Kalade Forums or send me a PM (in the forums). If those don't work send me an email.
Progress Report
As far as the rest of the site, I have fallen behind in my schedule do to meddling people, so I have not yet posted my short story, "A Language Neither Men or Sheep Understand." I still need to finish up the illustrations that will be included in the story, turn the story into a .pdf, add the watermark, and then turn all the pages into .jpegs. I will repeat the same process with "A Bottle of Whiskey," and let me tell you, I am not looking forward to doing the illustrations for that one >_<.
I mostly have "Kylie's Pieces" complete, except for the changes in position when viewed with a larger screen. I hope to have that fixed tonight or tomorrow. After that is complete, I will start putting up my own gallery.
Hopefully, by this Friday, I will have the majority, besides uniformity testing, complete... especially since on Friday my professor needs to see a roughdraft.
April 10th, 2008
I finally have most of the pages up, and I even have the excerpt to my novel up (see 'Passage' section). On Friday, I hope to have the galleries located in the 'Goodies' section up and running. On Saturday, the plan is to post the .pdf version of my excerpt followed by the first of my short stories, "A Language Neither Men or Sheep Understand." Sunday look for 'A Bottle of Whiskey' to be up along with other misc. pages. I hope to have most everything up by April 14th or 15th.
April 8th, 2008
I have just completed all the main sections of the and am now turning my attention toward the subsections. In Writing Guides, I have just posted "Nothing New Under the Sun," which deals with the common argument that everything has already been written. Next on my list is to complete work on the "Goodies" section. So stay tuned.
April 5th, 2008
Further work has been completed on the site, and soon I hope to have up the Kaladè sections and Writing Guides sections. Also, I have completed work on a complimentary forum, which can be found in the links on the sidebar. The forum is a writing forum and contains several threads that deal with various writing topics. They also offer writing critques where you can bring your work(s) or review others' after posting at least 25 posts in other topics.
Feburary 16th, 2008
Major work has begun on my website, as I try to get as many links completed as possible. So far only my main page, bio, and news pages are up and ready. Look on this page for further information, in regards to the website, additions in the way of art, or how my writing is progressing. Hopefully, some day I will be able to annouce the publication of my novel, Passage.
