A grand return, this Hearth's Warming Season... · 1:40am Aug 3rd, 2014
Hello everyone! I admit this is kind of an odd announcement to make so many months in advance, especially considering my previous habit of abandoning projects quite frequently... However...
I'VE BEEN WRITING CONSISTENTLY FOR THE PAST FEW WEEKS, AND HAVE THUS FAR SURPASSED A MINIMUM OF 700 WORDS PER DAY!!!
Not a whole lot, I admit. I'm still not nearly as good as I want to be, but I'm making plans for my writing, getting a set time and an increasing amount of words (+100 every week) done each day as time goes by. I've already written over 3k for my HiE CYOA fanfic, a little over 2k for the next chapter of I Ran My Car Into Twilight's House, and while I haven't done much for The Chaotically Created Lives of Smarty Pants and Tom, I HAVE been working on it mentally, and I've even typed up a few hundred words.
I've also been furiously working on my Elsewhere Original Story Project, which you all can find on my Deviant Art, linked at my home page (because I'll mention this stuff because I want it to get attention, but I'm not about to spam you guys about it here)
SO YES! Heck, a few days ago I typed almost 5k words for a personal story I'm writing for the enjoyment of myself and my best friend (epic self insert characters doing awesome stuff, because sometimes you just need to write something stupid), and today I've put down 900 words into various stories.
The only problem with all of this writing, is that I have a LOT, both in fanfics, original work, and personal projects, that I'm trying to write all at the same time, so while my words per day may be increasing, they are scattered throughout quite a lot of projects.
Because of this, even though I'm telling you all that I'm going to return, and my fanfics are off hiatus and back to just being incompleted, I won't actually be updating the fanfics until December, once I've finished my next semester in college (where I'm taking writing classes, as the more I've written the more I've realized how much I want this as a career, it'll certainly be difficult with my current habits, but I'm improving myself in lots of ways bit by bit!). My plan is to have quite a few chapters in each story done by then, and update them every two weeks consistently til they are finished*^. So for those of you still following me, I wanted you to know I'm still here, and I shall soon make a dramatic return!
Thank you very much for your time, and encouragement, and have a great day!
*Updating schedule may change over time, I'd prefer every week for updates, but if I have trouble dividing my focus so much, I may move it as far back as monthly updates.
^The CYOA fanfic, being rather difficult to work on every area of it consistently, will instead, upon the upcoming semester ending in December, be updated every month, with all finished chapters being published. Unfortunately, this means that depending on the path you pick, you might have to wait a while for your specific update, but I'll try to even it out as much as I can, so that every month most people get to continue the story in some way.
