Things I've come to realize about my story Becoming Human. · 8:28am May 11th, 2014
Ok... first thing I began to realize... giving myself a time limit is a bad idea... a very very bad idea. I will explain why it is and was a bad idea, especially for one such as me. So uh lets look at the first reason... my stories start coming out rushed, I don't have time to think of matters and many people are left either confused or wondering "what the heck..." Why do I say this? Well I was trying to work out the newest chapter which has been put on brief hiatus. During this time I don't know how many times I reread my own work, and finally the light just came on and I said... no I can do better.
I can do a lot better, and so I began the process of editing ALL my chapters to the point where some have been expanded upon and even shall we say rewritten in places. I have mind you finished editing my first chapter... again... for the 3rd time, and that's it no more edits to it. I'm leaving it alone confound it, it was hard enough to make it more relatable to the audience, but good grief... So yeah my goal is to make more people like it and go "hey yeah this is pretty sweet." I enjoy feedback immensely, and if I think or am told something sucks, I will want to fix it... mind you, you can't please everybody now can you.
So yeah now that I'm taking my time, and not making anymore silly promises on "oh yeah this will totally be up in a week or two" snrk, yeah cause that worked SO WELL FOR ME IN THE PAST! I am now approaching it quite differently. How differently, well I'm not done editing all the chapters, and for those of you who have read thus far go back and reread... you'll notice... trust me... you'll notice. So yeah my so called "absence" hasn't really been an absence but more of me going "oh man this story needs a revamp badly... lets go do that." And so these past few months I've been hammering out kinks, what I should add what I shouldn't add, and then start to edit it all.
With this being said however, while I am in the process of editing the utter crap out of my story... this would be a good time for you to oh I dunno... give suggestions, feedback, something you'd like to see changed... for example Twilight's magic not working in the beginning to working now... in which case... (HA! you're to late, already thought of and I beat you to it.) Yeah she has magic now. Keep in mind now I have the entire reservoir of the 4th season behind me... I will likely be incorporating some of that in. So yeah any changes you'd like to see, or anything you'd like put in... send me a comment or note and I will see what I can do about it, while I go through my editing purge.
So yeah I am back in full force, just remember the chapters are being edited and only the first is fully edited and changed as of right now. When can you expect to see everything else edited? Well when you see a new chapter posted up, that will tell you everything has been fully edited and good to go. So if you want to help me make this an even more epic story... now would be a good time, while I am editing to do so.
