Working on By a Fireplace a lot and touching on my commissions. I wanna get the next chapter of By a Fireplace up as soon as possible, but it's an arduous task. I'm taking the story down a road I've never been on and I'm treading lightly. I had a lot of discussions about this with my friends and I have an idea where I want to take the story, but it's not going to be easy. It's what I've been thinking over all this time. I needed to plan it out, put up the sticky notes on a new wall, and take this step by step.
But I'm sure I can pull it off.
I haven't been this sure of a story since Freudian Slip.
But I haven't been doing that "1000" words a day thing like I said I would. I feel like I was forcing something to come when I was doing that and it didn't feel right... I don't know.
I'll try and get a good chunk of writing done each day, but I don't wanna force anything. I'd rather let these amazing stories I have in my head come naturally.
In other news, I've been working more on Role Reversal as well... I'm half tempted to take it in an interesting direction, but I'm not entirely sure. What would you think if you, "Fritz", in Role Reversal started to hallucinate?
I've got some experience in the area and I know how distressing it can be to find out not everything is as it seems to be...
Thoughts?

im so dumb sometimes

Hrm. For psychological or physiological reasons?
If hallucinations are where you think the story should go, then I trust you on it!
I'm not sure what to think about the hallucinations. Do you mean full-spectrum ones where the recipient is in their own little world? Or more subtle ones, seeing ghosts of memories long-since forgotten and images of a future not yet imagined?
In regards to the rest, don't push yourself too hard. There are thousands of authors who'll give poorly-written updates all the time. The reason you've attained such popularity is because we admire your standards of quality. Don't compromise them to meet some arbitrary time constraint.
If you think hallucinations will contribute to the story, I say that's fine. I dunno how you mean to use them, but I trust your judgement
Great to see you're working, and don't worry about how much you're writing. >>201480 ScreenedPlum is dead right. The quality of your stories are what we admire you for, and it's worth the wait
Hallucinations always help your sanity, go for it!
Carry On
Hallucinations are great for certain things, like taking seriousness off of stuff. By the way, Hey TGC. I found out today that humid air gets me drunk.
I would as what kind of hallucinations. Where he goes crazy, or something? That seems a bit iffy, but I think you could manage it, but be careful. lol.
Just don't let it overwhelm you or set unrealistic goals. Baby steps and what not.

Don't be so hard on yourself, mate

Heh, alright then
>>201480
Again,
Little of column A, little of column b. If you've seen Evil Dead II, the "Mirror" scene is probably a good description of what I mean.

Great to hear that from both of you~ I hate to keep people waiting, but there's something to writing a story that need finesse, not speed.

Dafuq? How does that work?

I'll be channeling a bit of what happened to me for a time... Knowing you're going crazy and all you can do is watch on in horror.
>>201621
Will do~
>>202055 It's just me and my internal glitches. I find it odd that I can do that, but it helps take the serious out of me after an annoying day. When the air isn't humid enough I just get more air rather than delusional.
I have something to say in objection to this:

In other news, I'm looking forward to more of your good work. I'm not sure about Role Reversal just yet, I haven't had enough of it to form a consensus. Gimmie a chapter or two and I can say something productive about it. I am however very eager to see where By a Fireplace is going.
