Deadlines, Delays and Destruction · 4:51pm Apr 15th, 2015
To everyone who has unexpectedly shown an interested in my story,
Sorry for not having a new chapter up yet for Bloodborne: Oligemia. I was planning to have the 2nd one completed and posted by now, but it seems the stars have aligned against me. I'm currently up to my neck in deadlines for school projects and studying for final exams next week. As if that weren't enough, the main hard drive on my PC is dying. I've already bought a new hard drive to replace it, but reinstalling my operating system, programs, restoring my personal files from a backup and getting everything set up just the way I like it (I'm a bit of an organization nut) are going to take at least a couple days.
The silver lining is that I get the week after next off, and, aside from a few personal chores, I should have much more time to devote to working on the story daily. Rest assured, I'm not one to just jump on an idea, throw up a chapter, and then get lazy and go dormant. I just need to get my personal life sorted out first. I've already started the next chapter, and it's going to be significantly longer than the first one, seeing as I'll actually be diving into the start of the game now.
I've also got a short sci-fi story sitting on the back burner that I need to man up and revise and post. It was actually largely because of the frustration and depression that came out of trying to edit that story that I found inspiration to start writing Oligemia, but I still like the idea and want to get it done just the same.
One last thing. I know the disclaimer on Oligemia says that it's not being written with much forethought. That's because I have about ten or so partially-written stories sitting on my computer that were, but I kept getting mired down worrying about editing, plot construction and character development to just let the stories flow naturally. I usually end up scrapping them before I've really given them a chance to really go anywhere. Oligemia was the story where I finally said "forget it! I'm gonna actually write a fic and post it no matter how bad I think it is." That doesn't mean I don't have a rough idea of where the story is going though. This story does have a beginning, an end and some good points in between. The issue is just how to connect all the dots together. Rest assured though, things are really going to pick up in the second chapter.
