Small update on my progress and a little letter of appreciation to you, dear readers. · 5:32am Jan 28th, 2013
Decided to make a little blog because... well, because it's 5 am, I can't sleep and I'm extremely bored.
Figured some of you would probably be interested to know that I am still alive, and that I'm still struggling with my latest chapter. I've written around 8.6 thousand words so far, but it's getting harder and harder to write. Sometimes I refuse to even get some sleep until I've come up with something to write about. Sometimes I get ideas in the middle of the night when I'm trying to sleep, and force myself awake to write that idea down.
*sigh* Being a "writer" is harder than I thought. But I'm not giving up. Whilst I made my earlier chapters in less than two weeks back then, I'm taking my sweet time with my latest ones now. Mostly because I realize that it won't come out as I want it to otherwise. English is not my native language, and that's why it usually takes me a rather long time to make those chapters. It doesn't help that I'm writing around twenty thousand words per chapter. But this is something I enjoy doing, and seeing people praising my work is probably the main reason for why I'm taking it seriously.
Sure I got a group of people who don't like my story and that's completely fine. That is to be expected. I'm not an experienced writer and I rarely read books at all. So, I personally am a little proud of how I've evolved as a writer. I'm learning something new everyday, and I have my editor; Nazidash, and my readers to thank for that.
Anyways... with this chapter I'm going for a little Sci-Fi. A little something that is inspired by Star Wars, Mass Effect and Assassin's Creed...
I hope you like where I'm going with this story. And if not... well, I hope I can redeem myself somehow in the future. :3
If you're still reading this, you're awesome. I want to thank you all for your support, and I want to give special thanks to those who has been with me from chapter one; when I wrote that awful chapter because I wanted to fuck with my friend. It never meant to go any further. But when people actually gave me suggestions and advises, I decided to keep on going. Later on I ended up re-writing most of my first chapter. It's definitely better than it was, but it might need slight more polishing, which I intend to do after I finish up my story. Yes, I will edit the shit out of my earlier chapters once my fic ends.
Thank you again! More on the way, so stay tuned! :D

Ah, the struggle of writers.
And for someone with a native language that isn't English, you write better English than half the people with it as their native language.
