Continuity · 5:24pm May 26th, 2013
I usually keep my stories to a length that I remember pretty easily where everything is, how it got there, what voice I was using, etc. With Blossoming though, I'm starting to get bigger than my story memory can recall.
The last batch of chapters didn't stray from continuity, but upon reflection, I could see they were starting to thanks to some of the in-story changes. So, I'm reading earlier chapters, getting back to the heart of the story I'm telling and ensuring that I don't pull any John Green's and make every day Friday (a tempting decision for any writer, but we must abstain in the name of willing suspension of disbelief).
I already got called on a continuity glitch in Just a Dream by my editor and ever-suffering, special somepony, Jess, and was glad she caught it. Now that my stories are getting bigger, I need to be a bit more on my game.
Ah, the writer's life for me!
