I’m am honestly not that happy about TN,OP. I thinking the pacing is off, character consistency isn’t the greatest, and mostly, it’s suffers that I never planned any of this beforehand. Usually I write like this so I’m not limited to possibilities, but now it a problem because I feel like so much problems are coming up while no good things come out of it.
Originally, I planned this to be Slice of Life with a side of drama. Now it’s Drama with the side of Slice of Life, and I’m not entirely...happy about that.
So I’m doing something I’ve never done before.
I’m making an outline.
So this will mean the chapters will be put on hold while I plan everything out. I guess a sorta hiatus? I’ll still try to post stuff and make new stories, but this specific one is going silent for a while. I hope that’s okay!
It's fine! Take all the time you need! I'm rooting for you!
Outlines are important, they certainly make things a lot easier
Patience is a virtue, and in very few areas is it a greater virtue than in the process of writing. If you need more time to make your story what you want it to be, then take it. Anyone worth your time will be more than willing to wait.
Take your time and make it great! I still don't use outlines to this day tbh, for what limited plot I incorporate into my stories I just wing it and it usually works out. Of course, this is a do as I say not as I do, moment.
Thought you were going to say you were giving up on the story for a sec. Had a huge motivational speech prepared and everything.
*discards single notecard with 'plz don't give up' on it*
Looking forward to your future ventures with the story!
Completely understandable. Take all the time you need.
Good luck then.
Better planning than being sorry later for turning it out messier. Take your time on the outline!
Whew, that sounded for a while like you were going to say you're cancelling the fic. Sure, take your time
This is like character development but the one that develops is the author. I love it!
I liked the drama with a side of slice of life, but that's probably my TEL-loving inner emo talking
