Everything is gone

I just found my flashdrive broken in two pieces with one peice still in the computer. It looks as if someone stepped on it while getting up from the computer and then decided not to tell me about it, hoping that I wouldn't notice. I did. Everything that I had been working on is gone. EVERYTHING! I don't think I've ever felt so horribly helpless!

There might be hope. One of my computer savy friends is coming over to look at it to see if we can save the data on it. I'll let you know as soon as I know.

Be Gone Plot Holes!

So last night when I couldn't sleep my mind was racing about my Dragon Story. One thing that came from the races was that I think for now the title will be The Dragon Knights of Terravia.

Another thing that that raced to the finish was the origin of magic. This was huge since my magic post left something to be desired.

Near the beginning of time, two great being used their great powers to create what is known now as magic. The first who is now known only as the Great One created magic in order to further benefit all races. He gave it to the races that were wise and powerful, this did not include humans. The second made his magic so that all could use it if they tried hard enough and he made it more powerful than the Great Ones. His magic had a taint however. All who used it slowly lost themselves and became slaves to his will. When this was discovered, his magic was called forbidden and he was banished to a rift in the dimensions. His name was erased and he became known as the Nameless One. In order to keep him there, they altered his form and made it so that he couldn't breathe the clear and pure air of this world. Yet his magic was still practiced in some places in the world...

This also filled the biggest plot hole of them all, but that would give away to many spoilers, so I won't indulge so much of that. The above might be pretty bad spoilers but it shouldn't ruin the story for you if you ever happen to read it.

There were a few more things that I discovered about my story as I couldn't sleep last night, such as another race and character, but again, to many spoilers.

The one big hole that isn't really a plot hole is the name of the world that this all takes place in. I still don't know what its called yet, but as I was writing this I came up with an idea, and I'll try it out for a while to see if I like it.

This was a momentous occasion. I got so excited after writing this. For the first time I felt that this might just work out and that I can do this. Happiness all around.
