My future progression · 9:00pm Dec 22nd, 2017
It's my hope and deepest wish that what I next explain will be understood fully especially when I explain my reason. Somewhere during this year, I feel something broke inside me. I don't know what exactly nor do I fully know how I plan to fix it. However, I know that one of the steps is getting past certain aspects which prevent the fluent progress I enjoyed on my fics to begin with. One such fic which saw this motion was my ever favourite, Dance in the Midst of Midnight. During a conversation with my main proofreader, it was established that in order to fix links or what have you within the fic, I'd have to go in a do so. Now, problem one is that with the new format of the site they changed how the word count worked or something or what was counted within that. As such my perfect word counts would be out of whack. Problem two is that I planned to touch it up a little and fix some things that I wanted to iron out. My friend suggested that if I am to do that with taking it down, why not simply rewrite it. This thought route perplexed me and as he pointed out when something doesn't work for me or is pointed out to be iffy, I shut down. I stop writing for a time and this is something I must fix within myself.
To this end, I have thought about it constantly, time and time again since then. I've come to the conclusion that it won't be such a bad thing. There were character designs, storyline, timeframe, bits and pieces I wanted to tweak to improve and overall better DMM. After working on the concept in my mind and defining some story in my mind... If I am to do this, it will be different. I have the basic foundation of DMM and I'll never stray far from what I loved about the fic. However, this route is significantly different but does flow a lot better in my mind and makes sense. I have plans to make my final choice come the new year and get back into my writing with increased vigour. My works saw limited love this year and I want to change that. I want to push forward, I want to see them fulfil their potential, I want them to be whole. But this post is about DMM and I want that for it more than anything else. I have the tools I need, I have been processing it in my mind tirelessly and I feel the rewrite of DMM would be an improvement to not only its story but it'll make a heck load more sense than the original timeline and story plot I had. I'm looking for opinions and views on this. I want to know what you who read DMM think about this. More importantly no matter my choice or direction I will need support. The same support I enjoy in comments likes etc that see any author want to further their work.
Thank you for listening and I hope to get some feedback. Until next time - Frozen Quill.
