Confused (story update) · 9:42am Sep 6th, 2017
The title does not sound very promising, does it? As you may know, I'm almost done with 'The Power Within' and I already said that I wish to complete it this month. Knowing my pace and current problems, that may or may not be possible.
At the moment, I'm quite confused with 10th chapter. I'm already over 2000 words into the chapter, but I almost feel like starting all over again. It just doesn't seem to work. The worst thing is that there are parts I'd really love to use, but if I start all over again, those would be gone as well. So, there's a lot of confusion and conflicts on my part. I'm also thinking an alternative ending for the story, or even an epilog to wrap things up.
The 9th chapter is 99% ready, I just need to find a good editor/proofreader what have you. But I was thinking to edit the rest of the story all at once so I don't need to worry about this every single time I wanna publish a chapter.
I would also love to receive some feedback and comments on my story. And I don't say this to get only positive feedback, but criticism as well. It would help me tremendously if I knew what people thought about the story. What do you like and dislike, are the characters interesting or relatable, how's my English and grammar in general? What about the plot, canon characters, and pacing? I'm really interested to hear all of it. This will not be my last story and I definitely don't want to continue making those same mistakes on my future projects.
And on a side note, I got myself into this awesome group picture! I'm just super happy how it turned out!

I won't make a new blog for this, but I think it's safe to say that the story is not going to be finished this month. I can't even promise a new chapter, although the 9th chapter is pretty much done and shouldn't change, it's not edited or proofread. I'm having some problems with the chapter 10 and I am currently re-writing it. It's one big mess right now and I have no clear idea what to do. I'm simply trying out different ways to end the story. I thought I had it all planned out but then I came to think of few things and it kind of destroyed everything.
So yeah, I'm really sorry for the delay. I'm not even working on the story every day because I have so much to do. Maybe I'm overthinking everything and people would like what I had planned, but you never know. I have to do my very best as I don't want to release something I don't like. If anybody wants to help me I can give you the links to my two remaining chapters.
