The sun was low in the sky as it began to wake up and bask the dry cold landscape in its white light. Leaning on the ship's railing, Sam and Kaylee watched the sun's explosion over the dry, sun beaten expanse. Kaylee had risen with the sun much earlier and had already cooked and eaten breakfast; Sam was still munching on a dry biscuit when she said, "You know what I really miss? McDonald's." She turned the sorry excuse for food around in her hand and sneered.

Ad Vitam Aeternam <<REVAMPED>>
And, thus, my fever stayed at 100 degrees. I woke up today, still not going to school (*weep*) and my temperature finally returning to its normal 96.5 (I'm a cold blooded person naturally) but my symptoms still persist and I feel like crap. So, I might miss school AGAIN TOMORROW.

Have you ever hurt so much inside, that you went to such lengths as to shut out all your emotions to the world and become a robot? [link]

Do you sketch first or just go with it?
I used to do pen and ink well, but I remember throwing to many drawings out the window when I slipped.
Once again I commend you on your ability to write. It's not easy. Especially when you thought ch. 1 was done

Yeah, I sketch first. I sketch then ink. Because I am a slave to perfection and desperately fear just winging it.
Oh, the pain of slipping and dropping the pen!! I have suffered COUNTLESS times from that affliction! But there are ways to work around it. First off is, if it's in a place you doing plan on coloring darkly or not at all, use a white gel pen or whiteout to color the pen away. Or, if you plan on coloring darkly, you can just color over it. If it's a simple accident of changing direction, go back and make the line thicker to fix the shape. Sometimes a thick line gives more pop and emphasis to an area or can act like a pseudo-shadow. Another way is to make a photocopy of the inked drawing after you've covered any mishaps with whiteout. That way you can have as many copies to screw up as you want!
The final way, and this is the truly perfectionist and most tedious, is to use a light box or window to trace your original pencil drawing with ink onto a seperate sheet of paper. By doing so, you also don't have to worry about pencil lines and goofing up permanently. What I do, since I'm cheap and can't afford a lightbox, I tape my orginal pencil sketch to a window, tape a blank sheet of paper ontop, wait for a sunny day, and then trace the pencil sketch with the pen. It hurts your arms to hold them at an angle for so long, so you might have to take breaks, but it produces very crisp lines and then there's no erasing required that could accidentally lighten or smudge your ink.
The irony of all of this is, I'm too lazy to actually redraw the picture, so I invent a million tedious ways to fix my tiny mistakes instead of just dealing with them.

Some of that sounds familiar. I had a big old drop of ink crush one of my drawings once, I tried whiteout but it did not get along with my sketchbook paper. Whiteout is really really white.
Ironically I have a light box. I found it upstairs at work one day and my boss said I could have it. We used to use it to do sign sketches in the same manner you just discussed, before computers. Haven't used it yet, I find this scanner + PS much more convenient
BTW your mistakes are not noticeable so your ways are apparently the way to go. There's not a good way to word that so just take it as a compliment

Yeah, some ideas I stole from other people.
What whiteout are YOU using?! Most whiteout I use is too yellow!
Yeah, I'm a caveman artist. No fancy-schmancy "potato-shoop" fer me! I stick to windows. OIII...
Aww, thankies. I swear, though, you flatter me too much. (You're expanding my ego! D: )

Thank you Thank you!
I used regular whiteout, May I ask you what kind of paper are you using? Maybe it's just my selection of sketchbooks, but my pages have a very slight yellowish tint to them.
And I'll ignore that potato comment for now...
