Mortal Chaos - One Hell of a Trial · 12:18am Apr 16th, 2015
I really had no idea what I was getting myself into when I started writing this arc of The Lost Element.
I had been planning out this segment of the story for quite some time, probably around two years before I began writing it. As expected, the chapter Mortal Chaos itself hit like a bomb, sparking waves of arguments and controversy in the comments between readers. I guess you can't call yourself a great writer if you haven't written at least one thing that caused an explosion of debate among your readers. What I did not expect was the effects the following chapters of the main storyline would have on me.
The Mortal Chaos arc has been the single most exhausting and draining project I have ever forced upon myself and I cannot say how relieved I am that it is almost over. Not the story itself, mind you. That has barely hit the halfway point. But Mortal Chaos I am all too ready to say goodbye to and am hoping I did this segment of the story justice. It has been tragic, tiring, and emotionally taxing, but I feel this section of the story has done its job well. This has undoubtedly become the single darkest thing I have ever written and I have learned that writing stories that are exclusively sad and tragic just isn't for me, which makes me all the more excited to get back to happier times once this mess is over. I would like to thank all the readers who have stuck with me this far and I hope I will not disappoint you with what lie down the road.

Maybe, but sometimes readers can get pretty lazy. I think it can be luck when they start debating what you write. Would be nice if it happened more often, but sometimes people have things to do and places to be... or I suppose it could be possible that just not a lot of people write things that stir up controversy.
2988297 I don't understand why writers get lazy when they know what it is they want to write. No passion?
I look at it this way if you have brought forth the emotions this strong that is the highest complement a author can receive.
as to the story just hitting the 1/2 way point I will be staying hear for the long hall (I am a truck driver it is my life) and looking for the side story's also.

2988318 I mean commenters get lazy, readers. Many people simply do not comment on what they've read.
I never brought up writers, but many people lose their passion to write. Hopefully that wont happen to you or I.
2988735 Ah sorry. Misread that.
Looking forward to the happy, fluffy romantic scenes coming back
This has been my favorite arc thus far in the story, simply because I feel that there was so much to it.
