So, a Reflections of the Heart chapter for ya. · 5:26am Dec 17th, 2015
I just published chapter 7. Go read, or not.
I just published chapter 7. Go read, or not.
So, a lot has been going on lately, and I mean a lot. My most recent blog on here was about me no longer having faith in god, the bible, etc.
And look at me now, laughing at jokes I would have found blasphemous just 4 months ago. Like this little gem: What is the difference between Jesus and a hooker? The look on their face when you're nailing them.
Anyways, a lot has been going on, not the least of which is that I am moving out of Ohio, and moving into Chicago.
I know this might seem out of the blue, but it isn't, for me at least. I am abandoning this account, and starting a new one. I have been doing a lot of thinking, and I feel that doing this is for the best. I will be uploading my current stories to my new account soon. My new account is thecloudtop1. Original, I know. So, from the moment I post this blog, I am not using this account anymore. Any questions, comments, or general shenanigans
First, let me share the status update. Bad news, I haven't gotten anything done since my editors went over the chapter. Good news is, I have a laptop now, which means I will be able to do more writing. (Hopefully)
I could not agree with this more if I wanted to.
Since the last chapter of Reflections. However, I have great news!
The newest chapter is done! The rough draft, anyways. Now it goes into the much dreaded editing stage, where everything I wrote gets smashed to oblivion by my editors. Huzzah!
Reflections is actually getting worked on! Albeit just a little.
Der hur hur, hera derpa derp, Me so clever, Hahahaha, trolololol.
Yeah, trying to an actual April Fool's joke on this site is virtually pointless.
Also, I am cancelling Reflections of the Heart. There is literally no point in me lying to myself or anyone else. I haven't written anything for it in forever, and I honestly don't see the point in putting it off anymore.
If anyone actually believes that, I will be surprised.
So, I have a problem.
I have just under 1000 words written for chapter seven. Thing is, I'm kinda stuck. I don't really know right now how to go forward in the plot.
So, here is my question to you.
Would you rather have a short chapter update now, or would you rather wait and have a longer chapter update after I figure out where to go from where I'm stuck?
So, I have been working slowly but surely on Chapter 7 of Reflections of the Heart. Progress is slow, but I am hoping to have the chapter written in the next week or so. Then it will be edited and refined, which could take a another week. So, if all goes well, Chapter 7 should be out within a couple of weeks.
I hope that people will read it when I get the next chapter published....
Well, ladies and gentlemen, I bring good news, as well as news I did not think I would be bringing you ever again.
I, TheCloudtop, am writing again. And not just any story, mind you. I am writing for Reflections of the Heart. In the several months that I haven't been writing, I was able to come to a realization. I had stopped writing the vision I had for my story, which is why I couldn't write for it anymore.
And I won't likely be on again for a while either. I don't make it to the library too often, and I have no internet at home as of yet. Even when I do get internet at home, I probably won't be on Fimfiction much, if at all.
In the month that I have been away, I have been working on and off through a temp agency, and in doing so, my priorities have shifted. I first joined this site when I was out on the streets, and had nothing to do all day long. Where I am at in life now is different.
Okay. Here's the deal. After writing that little one shot I wrote, I feel the want to write something for one of my main stories. Which brings me to the title of this blog.
Reflections will be rewritten yet again. I am not satisfied with with parts of it, and feel like I have written myself into a corner. Also, one of the biggest things that one of my pre readers, Japanese Teeth, has continuously pointed out, is that the whole thing with Fluttershy feels far too rushed.
I know this might seem to be coming out of the blue, or maybe not, considering I haven't written anything in some time.
Either way, I am done writing. I haven't had the urge, the real motivational spark, to write in a while. I hate feeling like I have to write, like I have to keep something going when I really have no desire to do so.
I feel like I have written myself into a corner with this story. I am not satisfied with how it has progressed, and have written the last couple of chapters hoping I would be able to fix it.
That hasn't happened.
So, I am putting it on Hiatus until further notice. Hopefully, I can come back to it and fix when I have had some time away from it. If not, well...
Let's just say I really hope I can fix it...
New chapter for your reading pleasure.
Enjoy.
I am now going to bed.
I am sleep deprived, and am barely able to type this out.
Night.
I know that my writing is slow even on the best of days, so I apologize for all the delays, especially considering I said that the new chapter of Reflections was done months ago. I just haven't gotten around to editing it, and for this, I am deeply apologetic.
That said, it will be edited and published, if not tonight, then by tomorrow.
So, be on the lookout for a new chapter very soon.
