Weekly Update: 7 / 14 / 2013 · 11:44pm Jul 14th, 2013
O, gods of the calendar, let it be so that my second weekly update be on time and, in the words of the immortal Bill S. Preston Esquire and Theodore Logan, "excellent."
So here we are again. Firstly, updates!
The new Star-Crossed chapter is in the final stages, and should be out tonight or tomorrow. Get ready, guys, it's gonna be a doozy.
I submitted Brave New World to EqD, and I have to produce another chapter of equal quality to the first before they'll accept it. I had the second chapter finished, but I decided I didn't like it and I'm rewriting it, so I'm not sure when that'll be finished. So... yeah.
My one-shot involving changeling identity crisis, House of Cards, is at about 12,200 words or so. So that's coming along.
What follows is my personal thoughts on writing as of late. More specifically, my writing.
So, I think I know what my problem is with writing long fics. I feel like when I produce a good first chapter of something, nothing I write afterward will be as good. I've convinced myself that I'm going to make a huge misstep with the future of a story that will alienate everyone who liked it and turn me into a joke. That's why I'm absolutely terrified of doing a second chapter of Brave New World because once I introduce conflict, I feel like the story's going to fall apart even when, in all likelihood, it won't.
What if they just say, you're no good kid, you stink, get outta here, I mean, I just don't think I can take that kinda rejection!
And here I'll complain and then write some more, because I like doing both of those things.
Well, until next time, guys. Bye!
