Well now aint that fun? · 6:15am Sep 21st, 2012
So yeah. I dropped off the face of the earth. Should probably explain that. You see, I wrote that chapter of Castle Walls in one evening. I didn't plan shit. Then, I figured "hey, I'm going to continue this". Then I wrote most of the second chapter. And then, here's the real kicker, I realized I had no idea what was going to happen. I had a few vague ideas, but nothing really concrete. So I took a look at the story. It is a complex one, full of alliances and characters and a ton of moving parts. Moving parts that I had no idea what to do with. So I spent a while planning. Then I got hit by a fit of writing depression. Mainly along the lines of "who the fuck cares?" Compared to authors with seemingly less ability to construct a sentence with both a reliable subject and predicate, my stories hardly have any following. Now, don't take this as complaining, please. I dropped into that depression hole because of that reason. So, as I try and claw my way out of it, I'm going to take a deep breath, relax, and get back to writing. Really sorry everybody. I get like that sometimes and, well, it's not good. I hope to have things back and running... I don't know. I'm taking a serious look at the second chapter and it looks boring. Like, it's important, but mainly more exposition.
Hey, a lot of writers go through that. I know I have. Power through, you can do it!
I can't say I've gone through that, as I'm not a writer. But I feel the same way all the time during animations (No, I don't actually have anything released yet :p). It's very common. All you can do is power through, and in the end, something will come to you.
