It started as a fic, now it's shaping out to become a book. The playlist is dope.
But what surprised me the most?
The main pairing is... hetero.
Man + woman.
What am I doing with my life?? hahah
I don't write a hetero main pairing since... 2009??????
Today I got 200 words written down.
And they were ~the best words~ I've written so far.
(The scene isn't even ready...)
~just a little patience~
I knew this fic would take time, and it'd probably only be ready near August, but it always surprises me... the amount of work one actually has to do to write like, 100.000 words??
I love every damn second of it, anyway.
Expelled from Word, he is now trying to contact you through other programs...
Where does chocolate milk come from? I’ve heard brown cows but part of me doesn’t want to believe it.
That’s a good instinct! The true story of chocolate milk (and all chocolate!) begins not at our local pasture, but with the rare and beautiful beans of the Brazilian rainforest
It's already soooo much better!
I'm still working on the end, though...
Each arc is more fleshed out and flows better. I feel the first kiss is =waay better too. Among other things.
I'm working now on connecting the ideas, foreshadow things better, make things feel earned, sorting through the rest of my notes (and my cellphone notes too, I had forgotten them).
Many things are lacking though. I need more ideas... My structure as it is wouldn't make a good book, at all. I admit I must have only 1/3 of a good book right now.
My head feels full and I'm tired of trying to make things make sense, but they ARE making sense, finally. It's like, I want X and Y to happen, but these events contradict themselves, so it's like trying to solve a really fun (but head bashing) puzzle.
Also, my playlist is really helping. I got many ideas just by listening to it.
Anyway, I couldn't have found a better hobby. <3
First morning I don't edit a chapter before breakfast in months. I'm feeling weird. Like there's this burning in my throat that just won't go away. I don't even want to eat anything. What is it I'm feeling? I always was horrible at being self-aware, so I guess I'll keep wondering...
Gravitation (way better than the anime)
Like the Beast (love the author)
Saint Seiya (I hoard my full collection!!)
Hetalia (I can't believe there's a mafia!Hetalia coming up!)
Ao no Exorcist (most enjoyable angst for a queer teen)
Deadman Wonderland (I enjoyed it so much!)
Cherry Magic (cute cute cute)
07 Ghost (I loved it very much when I was a teen, but I remember nothing now)
Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicles (I was in only for the gays, Fye and Kurochan)
When I was younger I also loved Bukiyou na Silent and Skip Beat, but I got no idea if it's any good anymore, really...
Give your book time.
This is the best advice I can give, really.
With just a few days of... not working on my book, at all, and doing other writing stuff, one character changed and became completely different than what I was going for at the beginning.
Frankly, it's WAY better.
I think I'm also grasping now my main character's feelings and actions, too. At another update, I said she read as this foolish girl that I was beginning to hate with passion. Now, I think she's found her footing at last, and the dialogue I'm tentatively putting out makes more sense, feels more in character with her.
hahahaha omg I'm 1) with sprinkles of 2)
There are two types of writers:
1. 'It's fiction, it doesn't need to make sense!'
2. 'I didn't account for the rotation of the planet and how that affects the constalations while my characters stargazed at different times of year, I have failed as a writer, and this entire thing is trash'
