This would have been my sophomore year in high school, and yes, most of the time it was a blow-off class with plenty of time to write, read, or work on homework. I remember that we watched a lot of movies in that class, so I half paid attention to the movie and half focused on other things. Writing almost everything by hand was more out of necessity than by choice. I also used to like to draw things from the books, although I’m not a good artist. If I could trace something, like horses, I did that to help me. And Legend of the Flying Horses is definitely not still on my mind.

I have been working on the drawings of the war horses and others to be in the sketchbook. I like what I am coming up with, including different motifs of the Star so they reflect that individual culture. I have found that I will be able to get considerable work done on the story during health class by continuing by hand in the notebooks. Then I can edit whenever I type the drafts. I will probably do this for the rest of the year until summer. With that much time, I should have the story practically written in full before it goes into type. Then would start the process of editing nearly every sentence and making sure everything is right. I probably would not print it though, so I do not waste paper. The map is coming along too really well and just needs to be redrawn. When the sketchbook is done, I will do commentary on the weapons and warfare inside and reference to which sketch I am talking about. I also wanted to say that the names Orlando, Viggo, and Arivorn are filler names for now and are subject to change for newer, fresher names. Lastly, I’m still keeping “Legend of the Flying Horses” in mind.
