Bloodsong delayed. · 1:52am Apr 20th, 2015
This is why I don't make promises. :P
A bunch of things (general malaise, some IRL stuff, the writeoff, ennui,) conspired to kill most of my motivation to write last week. As such, this week's chapter will be delayed, breaking the tentative schedule I've managed till now. I've written some, but it's rather short. I'll send it to my wonderful editing team after I touch it up and try writing some more. If the stars and their free time align, I may post on Friday or Saturday, since I've been considering switching anyways, now that my work schedule has shifted my weekend back a day.
The biggest problem with writing is that it's literally always easier to lay face-down on your bedroom floor and make inarticulate noises.
Really, it was mostly ennui.
Check out The Writeoff Association, though, if you're interested in writing short stories really fast and getting ridiculous amounts of feedback on them. I have a story in there this time; I'll get to find out if it made finals in a few hours. Should be fun.
So, did you get writeoff results?
What was your entry???
2999717 Can't tell you; I'm in the finals. :D
I'll publish it in a week or so, most likely.
oooook.....
Cannot wait to see what it was
3000561 Well, I came in second-to-last in the finalists. :P
I'll hopefully find the energy to give it the polish it deserves, but it's going to need some work, so maybe publishing in a week was a bit optimistic. if you'd like to read the original, you can find it here.

It left wery warm and peaceful feeling. And smile.

BTW that cliffhanger in last chapter of Bloodsong is just awful!
I mean it is pretty good as a cliffhanger, brilliant even.
And logically I understand need of such things as cliffhangers in stories, especially periodic ones.
And you did great job with it. Logically.
But emotionally - grrrrr - I want to strangle your virtual neck.
Mixed feelings, yeah...
Does not mean you should not do it again though sometime later in the story - it's good for the story
3024366 I do try not to make a habit of it. But yes, once in a while it's good... and getting reactions of any sort means it's not boring, which is great.
Sorry. :P it will be resolved next week.
I'm glad you liked my short story! I'll be making some changes, (hopefully for the better) before I release it in general, but it's great to know it's nice as-is.
