Further thoughts and rant because why not?

I really like this idea of making blog posts for stories. So why not using it?
Let's start with the fact that I'm listening to indie folk to calm down a bit cuz I'm really nervous about publishing this story like I was when I first published it in Spanish.

While you listen to the song that accompanied me through all the writing process and helps me get into the story mood (is that a thing?), let me tell how this monster came to happen: A dream.
A really weird/triggering dream that once I was half awakened, the whole idea had set on my head all by itself. (Never read stories whose character is really cynical at depicting their life before going to sleep, much less if you have a screwed up mind like mine).
As a result I spend the rest of my day and my classes with this horrible feeling that I needed to get out of my chest.
So I started writing. And 3 scenes turned into 11 and what I thought it would be around 5-7k words tops, turned into freaking 21 thousand words in a bit more than a month. There was even a point I stopped speculating the total word count because it was futile, ha.
I haven't finished anything since 2012. This is a big accomplishment for me, one of the little things I can really say I'm proud of.

It's not even my usual writing style, I never wrote like when Sparkle's pov before, it just happened. Sparkle is so easy to write to me, it's so easy for me to get into her skin to the point that I'm the one tasting the bile in the mouth. And it's scary, tbh.

And though I'm not sure if this story is actually cathartic to me as well as I'm not sure if it heals me more than it breaks me, I like writing it at the end of the day. I like to have a universe that shares things with the one I live on, that I can expand as much as I like.

I would explain more on certain ideas regarding characters and such, but since there's definitely more to come (and I don't want to spoil anything) I'll save that until the next blog post.
