New Story and asking for advice · 9:24pm Feb 1st, 2018
So hey all of you. I don't know if you all know but I started a new story because I felt I had moved past where I was on my previous work here. In many ways I have but most importantly was my mentality. I feel in someways a different person than what I was a year ago. I hope my writing has improved, which I know it has but how much is so difficult to say, but more importantly is things are looking up for me in my life outside of writing. Which is kinda funny coming from a person who just spent a week in a hospital for SI (suicidial Ideation and an attempt). Yeah my mental health has always been a bit iffy and now isn't really an exception but I now have income I write more than ever and I just got into a new shelter so maybe things will look up. All this rambling really is to say "Hey so sorry for the disappearing act I keep pulling and hey I wrote this thing you should read it." Which you should, if just to tell me how much I suck at editing, which I do. But really I also want to just update on more than that. See a while ago I decided that writing was going to be my job. And I have made it so. This week I have written thousands of words (as of right this instant 14k so far) and that was with me not writing for half the week. I do this full time all the time (except for weekends when I am less able to find a good place to write and sundays are busy days for me). But the point is that fanfiction is a hard place to make the money I need to survive. I hestitate to ask any of you for help on that end and in part due to that I have been working on orginal work a lot more as of lately. But I miss having people comment and talk about my work as it is in progress and so I am at a crossroads of sorts. I will keep working on the fanfic I started recently as a way to learn to multitask on my writing but I also want to find a way to let you read my original work as well if you want. So if you all have any suggestions I am all ears for that. To be fair I wish I could be like hey I got this thing finished but I don't have one finished. I just have projects in various states of partially completed and that is why I want some more feedback and commentary it helps me feel motivated which isn't so much a problem with writing in general but a problem of my projects indiviually. I kinda feel like a leaf on the wind when it comes to my muse, never really certain where it is going to lead me next. So yeah as asked above send me some suggestions as to a decent place to share some of that orginal work with you all or if I should just keep it all hoarded away till I finish it. Oh yeah go read my latest silly fanfic, Redux: Life in a new world. This one is probably a bit similar to my prior work here but is a bit more in line with my current feelings and thoughts. Kinda. Well who knows but I am writing it anyway. Did I mention I ramble a lot? Cause obviously I do. The story is the tagged story and the first two chapters are out and I am working on the third. Which will be out sometime this month...isn't that great...not really but what else can I say I don't know which project I am gonna work on at any given day. Today it is MLP, yesterday it was mlp and orignial project six hundred seventy eight (not really but sometimes it feels like it) and tomarrow is well up to the fickle fate of the wind.
