Chapter 15 Out · 7:47am Aug 20th, 2018
This took a while. This is the weird chapter. I feel like having Rainbow Dash alone and dealing with stuff limited her in the dreamworld so I came up with a different idea there. Fun little sort of thing.
Not entirely happy with the translation from mind to page, but that tends to happen. And well I went full dream sequence and weird stuff in this one so this is probably the chapter I feel least comfortable with setting out. Not that I would cut everything or major portions, just that my mind has this want to both cut a lot and tighten up the language and also to overly explain dream logic and imagery which sounds like the most boring thing ever to read for a person.
But I've been working on this for a month and if I don't move onto the next one, I won't ever get it done cause mental burnout when there's a lot of weird, dark stuff in there somewhere. Probably was a tad bit depressed at points cause I've written most every day so there's lull bits and there's weird dream bits and all this and it got weird and probably was influenced when I took way too much of cough syrup one day and almost started hallucinating. It got weird then and got far more dream sequence weird.
And I toned down the final dream section and drastically cut it to almost impressions of violence and body horror, cause in my head there was like five stages to that scene and five stages to the final body horror bit with like all this horrible stuff happening and it ended the same so I just said screw it and went with how it ended in the chapter and cut most of the rest cause the violence in that section felt way too gratuitous in my head. So in that case, I lightened up the chapter.
Not by much though. I'm tired and need a break for a few days. Need to recharge my brain. Also surprise character introduction.
