Wednesday Weekly Writing Report #1 · 7:09pm Feb 25th, 2015
Well I thought I might as well try this 'weekly report' out and see where it takes me. People have told me that writing weekly reports are good ways to improve your stories and push past tricky writers block's. Being the curious person I am, I cant help but give it the good old try. If it fails then it fails if it helps it helps. Not to mention it give the people reading this an inside scoop on whats happening, not like anyone reads my blog posts anyway :/.
On to the actual report! So far this week I have been occupied with multiple stories, some that are not even on Fimfiction. Those stories I will talk about later, as for now I will talk about the stories that are already on Fimfiction. Most importantly 'Defying God' and 'Ice and fire' as they are the most read.
As this week goes Defying god is at somewhat at a standstill as I allow people to get their votes in on the current event. As of now the votes are still open, however they will be taken down on Friday and the new chapter will be published on Monday. As for the actual chapter progression I will start writing it today in hopes of finishing it Friday, hoping that the editors will be able to read it through and have it all nice-nice for you readers on Monday.
Ice and Fire is much of the same way other then the event seeing as there is no event for Ice and Fire. I like to think of Ice and Fire as a book that is already fully thought out as I have all the events planned out. While readers can comment ideas that they would like to see implemented into the story they cannot change or alter the overall progression and direction the story is taking. Stories that the readers can change are called dynamic stories. Defying god and Falling for a star are both examples of such stories.
While the date of Ice and Fire's next chapter is unknown at this point do not lose hope. Times like these I like to brute force a chapter and have it out within no time at all. Usually this happens when i'm really in the mood for writing.
Living with Lyra as some of you might now is a rather new book that I have been writing. It stands as one of my best works as of yet and it will continue to get better as the story progresses. The next chapter for that story is almost done and I have been working on it this week, however I will say that I have been occupied with other stories, thus the reason why it has yet to come out.
Planet fall! A story made so long ago and updated so long ago that I almost forgot I wrote it. While the chapter has yet to come out I would like to inform you I have not given up on it. The next chapter is in the making however it will be rather slow as it is on the back burner. I have yet to work on it this week but I plan to pump out at least another 1k words for it.
At last I get to talk about the 'other' story that I have been working on. The name of the new story is called 'Last Hope' while I have the first two chapters done I do not plan on releasing it. I plan to do something different with this story and release Arc's instead of separate chapters. This being said I hope that by the time I release the first Arc it will be the pinnacle of all my writing skills at that time.
while the new book is going to be one of my major protects it will not deter me from updating my other stories. 'Last Hope' will be a story that I write when all other stories are completed. I like to think of 'Last Hope' as a story that will fill in the time when I'm not doing anything productive.
I would like to say in this weekly report that writing is not my job, it is my hobbies. So with that being said while i do give some deadlines you should not plan on the chapter coming out on that date 100%. I myself strive to meet those deadlines but at times find myself doing other things, things that push me to make more chapters.
Lastly thank you all for your support and I hope to release new chapters soon! I know I keep saying it but just have faith for your salvation shall come in time!
Don't sweat it. I know how it is with deadlines. I usually don't give myself deadlines for the simple reason of not having to stress myself out. So take all the time in the world. It's your hobby and you should only work on your hobby when you feel like it.
