My Problem With "Growing Sun" · 11:44pm May 3rd, 2018
Okay, so as you may know, "Growing Sun" is my first story on this website and it has been doing much better than I had anticipated. I just want to say thank you to everyone for all of the nice things that you've all said.
I'll admit, writing is very fun but it can get pretty damn difficult as you progress through the story. I'm already six chapters in with Growing Sun and now I'm having some troubles in terms of the plot. I want to start making Sunset the bully at CHS but I just can't figure out how I could possibly approach this.
Believe when I say that I've tried, attempts have been made and have utterly failed. It would either sound so dull or even rushed. I want to make this story as exciting and as fleshed out as I possibly can but when it comes to writing about a bully, I cannot tell you enough of how difficult that is for a person such as me. I've never been a bully (nor have I really ever been bullied), I'm more of the shy and kind of insecure student at school. I don't know how exactly I can write through the perspective of a bully if I've never really had any experience with a bully. I don't know whether I should make Susnet go all out there or start her off slowly and she'd become worse and worse of a bully as it progresses. As I've said, the next chapter will be called, "Starting Off Small..." so the second option is probably the best way to go.
Besides Growing Sun, I have already started on another story. It's nothing to special; it's only purpose is one: Mainly just for filler. And two: Just for shits and giggles. It will only be a one chapter story ranging at around 3,000 to 5,000 words. What does everyone think? Should I release this other story inbetween production, or after I'm finished with Growing Sun.
