Never Write When You're On More Than 4 Medications At Once... · 5:47pm May 23rd, 2014
What was I thinking with that last chapter? Seriously. I'm certain that I had something planned, but I can't even remember. Worse, it deviated from the original plans I had. I'm gonna have to revise it a bit a lot. From now on, if I get sick, I'll write, but won't post until I've proofread it when I'm better. I definitely didn't want to create such a confusing chapter, and my original plan, on retrospection, was much, much better. I'll have the proper version up an running sometime this weekend.
The trick to medications is balancing them. As long as the side effects aren't drastic—like me with Citalopram—it's just something to get used to. I function pretty well on five prescriptions, but it took a bit of effort on my end to get to that point.
So is Pan's background and laternate persona Andy gonna be retcon'd?
Or was it like, gonna be introduced more subtly, rather than rather abruptly?
Are you recovering okay?
Anyways, sorry to hear you've been sick. I know it can suck pretty bad...
I'm wondering if your using your medications as a scapegoat so we can't blame you for that chapter, but atleast you admit that you made a mistake and your gonna fix it.(some authors won't admit it and don't change anything.)
that wasn't that bad...
Does this mean I have to return the check? And I was going to buy a Corvette...
I admit I was little confused with that last chapter. For the first 7 chapters you keep calling him Pan and now we suddenly find out that "Pan" is actually Andy.
Also, what of the Changelings? Pan or "Andy" is now a thousand years in the past and has activated an artifact that generates love. That should be a food beacon to them.
I'm a bit surprised that you have the nobles alive. In most of the stories I've read with Sombra in them, he is portried as being overly cautious and would eliminate the nobles so none would be able to oppose him.
okay man, just get better.
Heh, don't fic under the influence man.
I guess not writing should be something the drug makers put on the packaging.
..That..explains a bit too much...
I used to take medicine for my behavior (too excitable) but it carried a health risk....and i had that risk.
Of course, my parents were NOT made aware of this until about a few months after i started taking them. After they checked my heart. and realized it was getting worse.
Yeaaa........
Nowadays, I only take a few antibiotics or painkillers when i'm sick.
Are you at least going to preserve the Not-Chapter for posterity's sake?
Because I thought it was actually kinda interesting.
Hmm, I figured something was off, that was a bit different than your usual writing style
I've been suffering from a nasty summer cold all this week
. My writing hasn't really suffered much from it, thankfully, but yesterday, I was given a medication that was supposed to help a bit more... that turned out to have the same ingredient, at a higher concentration, as another medication I had taken an hour before. So, long story short, I was kinda out there when I wrote the last chapter. I'm planning on scrapping 'Kemosabe', but I do think I'll keep the idea of a changeling pretending to be another changeling for another fic: that did have some interesting potential.
From the name of the blog, I should never write. Mental instability ftw!

Loving the story, but yea, I stopped reading that chapter after the first paragraph.
On a useful note. Try nasal irrigation. works miracles for me. I recommend this stuff.
I thought the twist added a bit of vulnerability to Pan & made him more of a character. As it is, he seems a bit too good to be true.
But, as you say, if you can't remember what benefit the twist was going to have to the story then ditching it is probably for the best rather than having it weigh you down & disrupt your plans.
