Always the Fourth Chapter... · 8:09pm Sep 27th, 2012
Well, it's finally happened, I ran into a creative roadblock. If you've read my stories, which you have if you're reading this so what am I saying, then you know I'm far better at plot twists, general plot, and dramatic revelations than the actual writing part, especially dialogue. The upcoming Chapter Three for Want Me, Need Me, Love Me is DEFINITELY one of those parts. As a result, it's been difficult to actually write it out. It's already near 3,000 words but it's nowhere near done encompassing all that I need to put in the chapter. So unfortunately the next part is going to be delayed.
...
...Huh, far fewer flung fruits than I was expecting. Maybe you've gotten used to this.
I'm still actively working on this, so bear with my and my terrifying writing blocks. Don't worry, I won't vanish for months leaving you to wonder where-aaaand there's the rotten tomatoes.
-SPLAT-
Other chapters have been posted? Why hasn't my notifications area been updating?
You think I've gotten used to this?
You think I've gotten used to this!?!
Have some rotten fruits, fiend! Throws tomatoes.
But really. The usual spiel when talking to authors who are worried that we'll be angry they're taking their time to write a good fic. Just that. Take your time, don't rush, we still love you, and put something out when you're ready to put something out.
A lot of authors deal with semi-regular writer's block. Just don't beat yourself up about it.
As I say to basically everyone, take your time *cough* but hurry *cough*. What was that? Oh I seem to have not completely recovered from my cold, ahem.
As I was saying, take your time, I'm nearly out of produce as it is so I can't afford to throw any. It'll definitely be better for the wait as long as you aren't gone so long I forget what I was reading.
And thanks for letting people know and explaining rather than just disappearing.
I'm throwing rotten apples
really?
Good, authors that disappear without a trace annoy me to no end.
You still update more regularly than me, i tend to update randomly whenever i finish writing a chapter. I honestly don't care about the delay (there are other stories to read) so don't worry too much about it.
I understand, I'm suffering it as well.
I find working on something different helps get the gears going.

Yeah, I've been doing that as well. I'm working on another idea for a story which I hope to be my magnum opus. It's currently under the codename of Project: CONNER (as WMNMLM was under the codename Project: KAFKA). It has Adventure in far-away lands, it has uproarious comedy, it has intense dramatic mystery, and, most importantly, it has SHIPPING.
Though you'll not see it until it's nearly done so mark your calendars for, eh, two years from now.
*gleeful tomato fling*
but seriously, take your time. Quality over quantity.
It might help if you try to write while sleep deprived? I've found that while it's almost universally messy as all buck, after I clean up the chapter, facepalm at something stupid and random, and expand a bit here and there, I have a fairly good representation of a good story.
...Granted, you're also better than me at this, so take this with a grain of salt.
NOOOOO! LIFE IS OVARRRR!

You make a good point, but seeing as I am consistently doing my best writing after midnight, I'd rather not deprive myself of any more sleep. I'm already starting to lose my grasp on reality.
Isn't that right Fluttershy?
ROOMATE: What?
Er, nothing...
Aha! The early morning effect! I've seen it too. When it's like 2:00 AM and you're like ALL OF THE CREATIVITY.
(Considers throwing tomato) Nah, I have writer's block for my story too, and I once waited three months for a story that hadn't been updated for six. (cough*Traveler*cough) So, it's okay.
D :
388704 I tend to do most of if not all of my writing after midnight. Currently 12:57 where i am. Every night i stay up this late and i think the Cupcakes fics are starting to get to me. nopony's gotten my references at school yet, but they have seen my new insanity before. We all must bow before the evil cupcake.
Yep all normal HAHAHAHAHA
I was looking forward to this all week.
Pah, i laugh at you writers block.
I can't even come up with a story idea
and so i have no storys written.
