Twain, chapter one · 1:23am Jul 14th, 2013
Just so anybody knows, becuase my computer starts slowing down once the text gets past the actual screen size for writing these blogs and stuff, I write these things in an unsaved notepad and then cut/paste into the thing directly. I dunno if anybody else has this problem but I figured if Twain isn't entertaining enough to post about then having some other side topic couldn't hurt.
Anyway, fanfiction writing isn't me trying to show off my writing abilities, it's me trying to develop them. In Twain chapter 1 I expored trying to describe a sunset that I saw without using overused cliche' descriptions, I also explored the psychadelic attack in one scene and then explored the mind numbing terror in the next. I also threw some character forshadowing (not that it wasn't already obvious from the little character icon things) so we can see how that turned out. I usually try to imagine the actual character's voices when I make them say something, I like to think it helps to keep them in character but, I dunno, someone please tell me if I make a big mistake okay?
So, I didn't want to describe Brumby Junction too thoroughly just in case I wanted to change anything later on but I also wanted to describe the inn. I wanted to present the inn as not being very rich but with decoration that was lovingly made. Cheap, but well cared for, someone's baby.
Primarily this is a horror story, but it is also a mystery. Effectively, the first chapter explores the horror part the most thoroughly. Next, I think we'll delve into the aspects of mystery and detective work. That could change but, meh, I'll do what comes to mind and change it if I need to.
I think that's all I wanted to say for now. Thanks for reading!
