    In a Schlump

    The title says it. I haven't written anything of real substance in ages, and despite being quite frustrated with that I can never seem to write anything whenever I sit down to do so.

    Normally I wouldn't want to make fairly frivolous posts like this, but I've decided to make an effort to communicate with you guys a little better.

    Been A Long Time Coming

    Hello. It's been a while. Three months since most of you have heard anything from me in fact.

    Erm, sorry about that. I tend to dislike writing blog posts because I have this fear that I'll say something really stupid. That's also the main reason I've started answering comments less. I know, it's kinda dumb, but... anyway.

    Problems With Conviction

    I've decided that rather than doing a simple word for word conversion of Conviction, it would be better to rewrite the majority of the story. Basically, all the events will remain the same, but hopefully the it will be less awkward to read than a straight word for word edit. This will also give me a chance to fix a bunch problems Conviction had. The purpose of this blog post is to discuss what I

    Future Plans

    So, in a previous blog post, some people requested that I keep them updated on my writing. Well, this is me doing that.

    Tiiiimbeeeer!

    Conviction is coming down in the next hour. Just a heads up for anyone who wanted to save it, but hasn't gotten the chance yet. I'll be making another blog post tomorrow, talking about my plans for the future in regards to writing, as well as divulging a few details about where Conviction's plot was eventually going to go.

New chapter. · 7:28am Aug 18th, 2013

The next chapter of Conviction has been written and is undergoing pre-reading. It will be released shortly, hopefully in a day or two, but this is a really long chapter so the pre-read could take a lot longer. I'm sorry it took me so long to write it, but if it makes you feel better I practically developed insomnia stressing over it most nights.

Try not to stress. In my experience, readers are willing to wait for an update to a great story. Taking your time to add a bit of length or polish to a story is usually appreciated.

It's not really art if there isn't any of the artist's blood in it, so there is that. :trollestia:

To borrow from Tom Stoppard:
“Well, we can do you blood and love without the rhetoric, and we can do you blood and rhetoric without the love, and we can do you all three concurrent or consecutive. But we can't give you love and rhetoric without the blood. Blood is compulsory. They're all blood, you see.”

Humor aside – yes, I was trying to be funny – I feel exactly the same as PropMaster and really couldn't say it better.

You developing insomnia does NOT make feel better.
But I'm glad the new chapter is coming out soon.

This. The insomnia is certainly a sign of dedication to the story, but it would be better were it not to burn you out so much. The more blood and tears go into this chapter, the harder it will be for you to enjoy writing the next one.

Nevertheless, :yay:
