Right now with that out the way. I'm so happy to have come this far I'm really not one for completing things so this was pretty nice change and a huge load off my back. I always was thinking about RTK but now after finishing Sign of the Snake I feel instantly relieved. Like any more Kanji i do in RTK3 and on is purely for me and not to fulfill some kind of minimum. I do plan to finish up the JOYO kanji as required Kanji to know but in time. I will look forward to starting Sentences from either Kore or KO2001.

What worked for me:

Keeping the Keyword at the front of the story.
Slightly changing keywords into the tense I used in the story. ( discreet -> discreet(ly) )
Adding a reference definition for English words.
Shorter stories that trigger an image or feeling in my mind.
Reviewing the Kanji website over at kanji.koohii.com
Motivation from people on the forum finishing ahead of me.
Motivation from myself to be better than you.
The belief that Kanji is easy.
The belief that this will all pay off someday.
A notebook and pen. always pen no pencil. makes mistakes clear and doesn't wear away easily.

I truely felt during this entire time that my future in Japanese depending on me getting through this book so failure was never an option. I hope I can help people that need it by continuing to move forward and letting anyone interested know about RTK and Reviewing the Kanji forums as they have changed my foreseeable future greatly. Thank you all and please kick my ass if I start to slack in my studies for no reason.
