I'm glad you think so ^^ I certainly have come a long way as a writer. Over the summer my mom had me go through a bunch of my elementary school projects to determine what I wanted to keep. A lot of what I cam across what amusingly cringe-worthy. There was one story I wrote about a superhero girl who had spaghetti hair that could bind the criminals XD
I used to post chapters twice a week on Monday and Thursday, so this will be a nice break. It gives me more time to focus on the chapters and get them close to that state of perfection- instead of, say, having to go back and rewrite everything to make it match the level of quality you want. That's what I'm having to do with the TGO chapters, and especially the earliest ones. I have already gone back and revised some of them (which is most likely what you read), but once you get to a certain point it's all too easy to tell the difference between what has been improved and the original way I used to write the story.
I do love my TGO characters. Ellothiel was inspired from a LotR fanfiction I continue to write bits of here and there. That the project lasted almost two years means a lot of hard work has gone into creating the story, so it has been bittersweet to have the main story finished.
