    Quick question for those of you interested in the future of Sight

    Firstly, let me say I'm working, so don't call me out on that. Trust me, when this damn chapter finally releases, it's gonna be much bigger than you expect.

    Lil' treat for you Artist's Block fans

    I know most of ya'll don't really care much about my poor little first fic, but I thought I'd shoot something out there that brought my mind back to it.

I'm alive wooo (I'd probably read this one if I were you, eh) · 8:41am Jun 23rd, 2013

Hi guys.

So you probably have lots of questions, like, "When's the new chapter of Sight coming out?" and "Are you really re-writing Artist's Block?" And the thing is, I don't really have answers to those questions. However, I can give you in-the-same-ballpark figures.

Firstly, as I'm sure most of you are here for, info on Sight; basically a brief explanation to my absence is school. I was so occupied with my college prep program and doing every AP thing and getting in every assignment so I could pass the damn year. However, being the over-achiever I am, I attempted to continue writing Sight in addition to the writing and math and whatever I had to do each night, not to mention the extra choral things, musicals, gigs/practices, and recording I had to do. I swamped myself pretty foolishly, and I kept telling myself "I can do it!" when I really just couldn't pull it all off. What makes me feel the worst is that I was telling it to you guys, too. Promising chapters and updates when I really had it all in my brain, but not on paper. It makes me feel like shit. I thought this chapter would've been done a long, long time ago, but I had way too much to do, I went out and made myself look like an ass. Not just once, but probably about three or four times. So, I'm really deeply sorry I'm such a dick that I kept promising things that just couldn't come early enough.

However, this isn't just a sorry letter to my faithful readers. Just because I haven't been active on FimFiction doesn't mean I haven't been writing. In fact, I've probably been doing too much writing. Just, not in the right order.

See, what you folks are waiting for is chapter 5. So, I tried writing chapter 5. Then that turned into a plot point I want to add later. Then I thought of something really great to add in for the story, so I wrote a whole two chapters intending to release them as chapters 5 and 6. But then I thought of how far down I'd be digging myself and my fic if I went through with the climax without enough exposition. I figured that longer was better, especially since Writer's Block was much shorter than I intended, and I pondered upon the lesson to be learned there.

So, here we are. I'm writing now what I want to be chapter 5, and this time I'm making sure it stays chapter 5. I'm not sure if anyone out there is still pulling for a double release, but I'm actually getting so much done that I'll probably be able to do that still too. It's summer! I have so much writing time on my hands I don't even know what to do with it.

In summary, or TL;DR - I had a lot of issues with writing. School clogged things up, and I wrote things in the wrong order, just stalling for more time. I know, I know, I'm a huge arsehole. But I'm back. Off hiatus, at least until school starts back up again. Expect Sight chapters 5 and 6 soon. And for real this time, since I actually have the hours to do it now.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOW

For the deets on Artist's Block. Those of you who have been following me from the start (which I'm guessing is probably about ten of you at most) read my first fic, and loved it in all of it's mushy, gushy, love triangle-yness. But still, it was only about 20,000 words. Aka, super short. So, I've been pondering a re-write. I'd make it longer, fix some plot holes, and just make it a better overall fic. Besides, then you could re-read it anew, if you read it originally, and new readers could read the story fresh for the first time.

HOWEVER. It's still only a thought, unfortunately. If it's done, it probably won't be done until after I'm done with Sight. And even then, I don't wanna release it chapter by chapter. It's damn stressful.

ANOTHER TL;DR - Artist's Block may or may not be re-done. It depends on what you, the readers, would like. It would be longer, and any and all mistakes or plot holes would be fixed. But if it happens, it'll happen after Sight's done.

Okay, I'm tired. I better call it a night. Those of you who read, thanks for reading.

Get excited, guys. It's happening.
