ADHA got me like... · 4:32am Nov 4th, 2021
So it's no secret that I am a "Mood Writer" and my mood will dictate what I write. For instance, when I'm super depressed or under a lot of pressure I find a lot of pleasure in writing Fo:E Content. Things have been going rather well for me as of late and because of that you have seen very little about the wildest dreams (also writers block sucks ass, but luckily I think I finally beat it). When I'm happy or thinking back on the past, I write stuff like Shadows of Eden. I'm currently laying ground work/chapters/words on paper for part 2 (still unnamed). But wouldn't you know it, I find myself under the gun again. Life is a sitcom like that. Just when I was about to start formatting chapters and really working the kinks out of the 30k some odd words there, shit hit the fan and now I get to lose that motivation.
Like I said I'm very.... mood motivated and I just needed to dig back into radiation. So, I sat up late one night and I'll be damned if I didn't nearly spit out a full chapter of TWD lol. I let the night take me and I put on some music and poured a tall whisky. Somehow, in my drunken ramblings I found a way to burn off all the writer's blocks in my way! So I'm thrilled to say a new chapter is on the horizons.
Those waiting for SoE part 2, it will come. Stories like it I tend to sit down and write multiple chapters in one night. I have a cap of 10 chapters, I feel that it lets the story breathe without getting too detail oriented. Same goes for word count. I honestly was very ambitious with the whole 6303 word count per chapter and let me tell you... I left sooooooo much on the table because of it. So I decided that It was time to up the word count to a nice, brisk 10k a chapter. I tried to stick to it, I really did lol. But I was still leaving too much in the trash that was important. So I'm thrilled to say that part 2 will be a much longer read and more detailed and part 3 (yes I'm a whore for punishment) will be a damn free for all.
All other project outside of the Wildest Dreams and Shadows of Eden are on permahold. Which sucks because I was working on a Outer Worlds crossover that I was REALLY excited about. but meh. I loves me some time travel and radiation. Plus Joey NEEEDED to have a conversation with his mother. There was a reason I kept it tight in that chapter... it was going to serve as motivation for the rest of the story, a large set up for the next ten chapters and for the love of god, give his little ass a reason to live. or at least something to live for. Ope... There it is, that old familiar urge to write stuff!
I'm off!
Zipp is best pony now, all hail cotton candy mohawk!
