Well, after a few days of ruminating, I have decided to sit down and start writing the sequel to A Prose By Any Other Name (Which will still be updated ever Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday; hopefully, all chapters will be posted by the end of November). The sequel I have dubbed Streets of Sin, and I have already created some cover art for it.
As you can see, there is some actual lighting elements going on. If you're curious to know, I achieved this through several flashlights (because my room's lighting is terrible for photo-taking). This effect gives a more spotlight kind of look to the story, which is something I want to be able to convey as I go about writing it. As you can see in the above, it will feature Opacare Prose and Sweetie Belle; but there are three other characters who shall also play a larger role. I wonder if you can guess who they are?
Anyway, at the time of writing this, I am sitting at chapter one, with a little over 1000 words written. I will be trying for about 2200 words minimum, but I have no guarantee that I'll be able to stick by that. I also have no guarantee that I'll reach 100,000 words by the end of the project; I can't give an estimate on the end number of words or pages.
But, I am getting that familiar feeling that I've always gotten whenever I start writing something new. It's like butterflies in your stomach, only the butterflies are like physical euphoria, so I feel overjoyed that I'm writing again, but extremely nervous. Luckily, the feeling has been a prime motivator in me getting myself to write.
I am unsure whether I will post the story when I finish writing one chapter, a few chapters, or when I've actually finished the story. Either way, I hope you are all looking forward to this as much as I am.
Cheers, good night, and happy early Thanksgiving!
