The second step · 7:19pm January 4th
For the first time in my history on the site I have released a second chapter of the story I'm working on within a week of the first.
Considering my prior track record of having a two-year lapse between chapters, I'm really rather proud of that.
I will say, I'm having some doubts as to the quality of what I'm writing, but I'm putting my heart into it and I'll try my very best to not let my own high expectations stop me from writing at all.
Perhaps I'll write something that's not very good, that's something I've always been dreadfully afraid of in the past, but I do not wish to live like that anymore. If I wish to move on and improve as a writer I must be willing to blunder, to write things that are subpar or perhaps even bad...
I've already gotten three dislikes on my new story, but I've also gotten 12 likes and honestly that's not a bad spread. On the same note as the one above I also shouldn't let outside validation like likes and dislikes determine whether or what I write. Still... Validation and interaction is good for motivation I cannot deny that.
I've got some exams coming up in the following weeks so I may not have much time nor excess energy to write, but I've already started working on the next chapter and hopefully, if all goes well, I'll have it out within a week just like this one.
I'll leave it with that though and wish you all a pleasant day and or evening.
Whoever may actually read these, your real cool, thank you
