    What We Talk About When We Talk About Writing - A Small Update

    (At this point, maybe every blog will have a title referencing some literary work, for funsies)

    Hi, everyone! I thought I'd drop by with a quick update as to what I've been working on. Nothing too fancy - I'm not good at making a blog look like that - but I figure this might interest some of you.

    Where I'm Calling From

    Introduction: A Confession

    I lied. 

    Well, maybe that’s a bit of an exaggeration. It would be more accurate to say that I opted for a partial truth. In the words of Carlos Ruiz Zafon, “Perhaps, as always, a lie was what would most resemble the truth”1—and in this fashion, I did lie.

    Going to a con might have been just what I needed...

    ... to get back into the fanfic writing game.

    I might totally be jinxing it by talking about it here, but I also think me saying it at all holds me to it, in a way.

    Or maybe I'm just superstitious. Many writers are. :P

Well, after a few days of ruminating, I have decided to sit down and start writing the sequel to A Prose By Any Other Name (Which will still be updated ever Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday; hopefully, all chapters will be posted by the end of November). The sequel I have dubbed Streets of Sin, and I have already created some cover art for it.

As you can see, there is some actual lighting elements going on. If you're curious to know, I achieved this through several flashlights (because my room's lighting is terrible for photo-taking). This effect gives a more spotlight kind of look to the story, which is something I want to be able to convey as I go about writing it. As you can see in the above, it will feature Opacare Prose and Sweetie Belle; but there are three other characters who shall also play a larger role. I wonder if you can guess who they are?

Anyway, at the time of writing this, I am sitting at chapter one, with a little over 1000 words written. I will be trying for about 2200 words minimum, but I have no guarantee that I'll be able to stick by that. I also have no guarantee that I'll reach 100,000 words by the end of the project; I can't give an estimate on the end number of words or pages.

But, I am getting that familiar feeling that I've always gotten whenever I start writing something new. It's like butterflies in your stomach, only the butterflies are like physical euphoria, so I feel overjoyed that I'm writing again, but extremely nervous. Luckily, the feeling has been a prime motivator in me getting myself to write.

I am unsure whether I will post the story when I finish writing one chapter, a few chapters, or when I've actually finished the story. Either way, I hope you are all looking forward to this as much as I am.

Cheers, good night, and happy early Thanksgiving!
