What Writing Means To Me - A Vent and 357 followers · 7:33am Mar 20th, 2017

Writing... what is writing to you?

To me... its partially a way to vent, partially a way to live out things I wish I could go through. And by things I mean the more... Slice of Life works of mine, as in the ones I have yet to post... or whatever I have posted in small quantities. I enjoy it a lot, to the point that I'm pretty sure I'm still gonna be writing fanfiction until I'm old and grey, and still looking good as fuck because... logic.

And I have a lot of ideas... I look at these ideas I have and realize that I won't ever finish em. Not with my current update and writing schedule, I'm slow with updates unless I get into the zone. I look at some of the stories I have posted already, most of the unfinished ones and I wonder if I'll ever freaking finish them. Because deep down in my gut I don't want to leave any of my stuff unfinished, even though I have done so in the past on FF.Net.

And then... I think of something I've been working on since I joined this site nearly four years now. You've probably seen the title of it on my user page in the Coming Soon section.

The Starfire Legacy Series

This... this is something I've been working on for months on end... rewritten at least six times with me bouncing back and forth struggling to bring it to life like Frankenstein's Monster. And the funny thing is, this story is a rewrite of one I had written on FF.Net and... despised after I finished it for its... bleagh and seemingly forced nature. I was young when I wrote it so...

The point is, I've been on this site because that was my goal... it still is my goal, to bring this idea of my to light. Being in this fandom had given me this idea and... it exploded into this massive storyline I fell in love with and so desperately want to write, to post and see how it does. Yeah it might not do well at all, in fact it might not even get above 100 views but I can dream goddamn it.

That's more or less why some of my stuff hasn't been updated. I've been trying to work on it, and as of this newest rewrite, I've gotten a total of 8000 words for the first chapter. And its not done, not by a long shot. Because I plan on this one being at the very least 100K words, 100,000 for those who don't know what the K means.

And its been four years... maybe? I know its been a long long time since I started writing it. And I hate myself for not managing to get it done yet... Hell, the first draft I had written up is 80, maybe 90,000 words at the most. But is chock full of errors, typos, and stuff that I threw in for some dumbass reason and looking back on it, didn't like at all in the slightest. I'd try and fix it up, but it's painful... mostly because of how much I have to go through.

Maybe someday I can get this Series up and running... maybe someday you guys will get to read it... hate it, love it... I don't know...

But son of a bitch's bastard Jon Snow on a segway... I will get it done!

Also...

We're all bullets... hohoho...
