Further Delays · 1:25am Feb 26th, 2016
I'm sorry.
I know it seems trite to open this blog like so, but I am honestly sorry.
People take time out of their days to read the stuff I write, when there are better stories out there, and more delays are holding back Chrysalis' Paradise Lost, again.
I've been making progress, but I wrote myself into comer regarding a couple of superlative scenes that can't just not be there for the sake of consistency, and I'm not enjoying writing them, it's the small transitions, and making the whole thing flow where my brain breaks down, and I worry in writing them that I'm not doing the story enough justice.
I've made more progress (1,000+ words, extra notes 75-90% done now), and there are only two more scenes to go, a mob scene that I'm struggling with, and the reveal on the assassin's lair which I have mostly planned out, I've never found myself struggling with describing places (besides avoiding pulling a Tolkien and spending two pages on a single bush).
I appreciate that the chapter isn't up when I said it would be, but I wanted to put the blog up so that you guys know I haven't just dropped it, and walked away, I have invested waaaay too much time and mental fatigue in this story to do so now.
Tolkien isn't that bad...
And hey, there's nothing wrong with slowing down when you hit a bumpy patch of road, right?
