Not necessarily try to change each other's basic personal natures and all, but instead to try to help each other improve our respective graphics and personal characteristics and habits where possible and all, more likely. And to try to help each other and support each other as we each can, I think, each of us trying to follow our Master's leading and all to the best of our respective abilities, EC. That's what I think we've basically tried to do here in this thread, at least, if not others as well. I could be wrong about that, of course, but that's how it appears now to me, anyway.

Personally, I don't mind trying to do nice things for you, and for others around here, when I can and all. Granted, most of my items aren't exactly your cup of tea, so to speak, but you have liked at least some of my work here, for sure. And you will like some of my future items I might ever make, later on, I think, even if I've not yet thought of them. Supposing, of course, that I am ever able to somehow make them. You never expected the Lord to help me get ideas for how to do Hillsboro Blazers items, or at least not at first, for example, for sure. And you know how all the related items turned out.

Now I obviously don't know yet if I'll ever be able to do original logo designs of any kind, or make any other graphics you might actually use, but I hope that I'll actually be able to do those things here somehow in the future. Lord willing, of course, you know.

I work every so often on my graphics when I seem to be having more trouble with my writing, or when I might need to get a better idea about what something looks like so I can better describe things when I am actually able to write my stories. At the present time, the chances do not look all that great to me here, unfortunately, when it comes to me being able to somehow sufficiently complete the first overall draft of Lighting Up the Darkness on or before December 1st and the final draft about six months later.

If I can get past Chapter 17 easily enough, then most of the remaining chapters should hopefully be much easier to write up, I think. But first I have to get to Chapter 17, of course. Unfortunately, I'm still somewhere in Chapter 14, just barely into its second scene. And I probably still have to write at least half of the entire text for that chapter, as well.

I don't want to spoil too much here, but the entire story is being written in a first-person point of view from a single narrator, seen only through his eyes. He doesn't know what others are thinking unless they tell him. And he doesn't know everything that has happened or is happening or will happen for the story and/or those things or beings around him in it, as of the current time in it. I normally don't write my stories in first-person POV, so it has been a challenge, to a degree, to stay focused and consistent with the narrator and his perspective and characterization and all.

Suffice it to say, though, I still have quite a lot of the story to plan out and write as plausibly and all as I can. Plus a good deal more research likely to do as well, of course, regarding certain subjects. Like weapon types, for example. I like often learning new things and trying new things, but sometimes it can be harder to incorporate the learned information and new experiences into certain areas of my life. Like my literary interest's area of writing projects, whether newer ones or not, to name one integral area of interest for me in it. I suppose that may be at least partly, if not entirely, due to me having Asperger's Syndrome in my life. But I could be wrong about that, obviously.

Thanks again for your friendship and kindness and all, in any case, EC. It is very much appreciated and all, for sure, and I don't ever plan to forget it, either, to be honest. Will write more later, as time permits and all, of course, my friend. CD out.
