Rewrites, rewrites · 9:33am Dec 3rd, 2014
Sometimes I think the strangest moments in writing is when I look back at what I've written months ago. Either I'm actually impressed with what I came up with or shaking my head at some... well... not so great work. It's a weird sensation when your old work becomes less and less familiar. Either way, I feel obligated to update some of my work and make revisions, many revisions. For example, I want to completely rewrite Trials of Starting a Family. I'm very humbled that I managed to get little over 100 upvotes on something I was passionate about writing. Still, I want to improve and write something I myself am content with the quality. The premises and ideas of the story will not be drastically altered but many scenes are getting rephrased with more details and the dialogue is getting tweaked.
It's been about two years since I started reading and writing here. Between now and then is the most I've ever changed in my life. Besides being extremely closed minded and well... shy, I found little reason to interact with others. It wasn't the show but the people I've met irl that changed a lot of things. Those people I met went from being people I hated to becoming my closest friends. You never know who you'll meet next and then you might be surprised which ones you might know for the longest time.
Being closed off, you don't meet a lot of good people and you might not find much happiness. I don't want to bother people by sounding preachy but there's a lot to learn from meeting people. Winter is coming in with cold weather for many and it's a good time to interact with others and reach out.
Anyway I try to give credit where it's due, so I want to thank the people who've been following from the beginning and those who've given feedback, especially those who have helped me with my recent stories. Honestly, my stuff would not be good without the help I've been given.
