Good news about my writing and bad news about Luna Looks for Love · 10:20pm Apr 19th, 2014

A bunch of authors of stories I follow are doing this, so I might as well do so myself.

I'll start with the bad news: I'm not really sure how to move forward with LLfL at the moment. I had an idea, but it fell apart when I thought about how to execute it (though I think the problem is more "needs more time in the oven" than anything. Now if only half a dozen other ideas didn't also want that time in the oven), which, of course has been a constant problem since the death of my grandfather late last year, taking all the steam out of my writing, and some stories (this one) haven't been able to recover very much of that steam. It seems based on the complexity of the story (the rather simple "The return of Mr. Bun recovered extremely easily for example, whereas this one has struggled to get back to moving forward).

Honestly I don't know when I'll be able to get back to work on it, and I apologize about that, but I will find a way to get back to writing it at some point, I promise.

Now for the good news: I've finally found a way to solve my "too many ideas bouncing around my head" problem, which will help with the above: Evernote. I've always been a terrible note taker, I admit, so jotting own my ideas never seemed great to me. However, when I jotted down three of my five ideas in Evernote, my head cleared up finally. (the other two are so half-baked they're worth leaving in my head). One was stubborn enough that I was forced to partly write out the first chapter to get it out but now my head is free to work on other projects than the ones that as yet are completely unwritten.

BTW, check here tomorrow to help me with one of those half-baked ideas and have the chance to win a $25 Steam game. Also, it will be the first anniversary of the first ever completion of a Flutter de Lis story.

Things take time. I understand. That's just how it works.

On a completely unrelated note, when tomorrow, exactly?

2027071 Just posted it, actually. Been a busy day.

2029185 Well, I just checked the blog post, and I don't have any ideas that will help you, nor do I have any interest in a multiplayer-only game, so I guess that's that.
