Well, I have the next chapter of Twinkless ready for editing by my busy, busy associate Scintillance (who will be back this weekend I believe). I have been offline mostly because this has been a 'busy' week so to speak, with personal matters coming up. Since this isn't a personal blog I won't go into details none of you really care to hear. This however, doesn't excuse me not posting anything. Alright, so my list of things to post is:
1. This blog
2. Twinkless/The sequel to Vanilla and Violet Swirl
3. Update Something bad is coming down
4. Finish off Twinkless
5. Work on extending the proposals for at least 3 or 4 new stories.
6. Bash head against wall for inspiration on what stories to plan in the future
7. repeat steps with any new/incomplete stories replacing current names.
I will be cutting Twinkless short, namely because I can't think of how to make more of it. Maybe in the future I will re-write it, but for now it will remain short. I don't just want to cut it, because that would be wrong on some level (Unless I receive hate mail on it, in which case I will revoke it if good reasons are given). I will need to really deepen my understanding of sad because you usually either make a story 'long' or use a character who seems innocent or people have extensive knowledge of and cause some sort of tragedy or reason to make people sad.
My character is completely alone, and most of you barely know her. How this makes it sad, I'll never know. And now I have another story idea, possibly a tragedy... I could, under principle, extend the story (I have come to realize a possible twist that might invoke sadness) and it would technically agree with the canon of the story. So, I guess I will finish with Act I of Twinkless. Whether or not I make an Act II will be under step 5.
It seems I get a lot of inspiration from music. I haven't stuck to music (only one story out of four being centered around a song) but the numbers only seem to grow. I don't know if it is good story-writing if I don't use original plot ideas.
I will in the near future probably be afk for a while, so I will get as much done as possible and come back and do more things. I have a couple originalish ideas one relating to Darkness and the other Intelligence (or an AI to be precise). I don't know why I used capitals, but whatever.
Toodles for now.
