    How to write an interlude without giving everything away?????

    Gahhhhhhhh

    I can't figure out how to write this one chapter without giving everything away... or over emphasizing a relationship that I'm not sure even exists in the story I want to write yet...

    Pardon for the delays... Truth is I went for a walkbaout?

    Hey all!

    Not sure how many people read blog posts like this from relative nobodies, but I just wanted to apologize for going dark for a couple months. I will be honest and say that I lost the voice for two of my fics 'Sunset Shattered' and 'Sunset's Second Chance At Childhood'.

    I've been writing I promise! ... ... just not the stories I've started?

    So I've been keeping my personal promise to write at least 2K words a week, but sadly it's been for the most part on stories I have not posted yet. I've decided to at least begin getting the backlog online. Hopefully it will help me refocus on my main stories as well.

    Call out for beta readers?

    So... I really really need folks willing to read unedited chapters, give some tough love, and critique the story itself for a couple of my stories beyond simply telling me about grammar.

    I need feedback to help me with pacing, dialogue, plot, etc.

    On the plus side, you get to read what I write before everyone else!

    Some idea prompts - EQG version

    Below are some of the prompts I recently came up with as a personal exercise, and invite anyone to use themselves, as I doubt I'll ever get to all of them. I'm sure others have come up with similar ones at some point, and I just haven't found them yet.

    'Want-of-a Nail' prompts:

Pardon for the delays... Truth is I went for a walkbaout? · 6:28am Aug 5th, 2018

Hey all!

Not sure how many people read blog posts like this from relative nobodies, but I just wanted to apologize for going dark for a couple months. I will be honest and say that I lost the voice for two of my fics 'Sunset Shattered' and 'Sunset's Second Chance At Childhood'.

The truth is that I know where I want to go with both, but I got sucked back into other fandoms, and distracted with reading great stories, that I just didn't put the time into writing. Also, I wasn't in that weird place of being down enough to feel creative, without being too depressed to write. I was too busy or happy or stressed with real life to be able to write anything worth posting.

This week I'm going to shake myself off, reread all my notes and start writing again. It's hard, but I think I can get the right frame of mind back now that I've finished reading all the stories I had on my back log :P

I'll probably focus first on Susnet Shattered, because that one is mainly stuck for technical reasons, so hopefully by next week you'll see an update or two on it!

Trust me, I know the feeling. I got 1,000 words of my next chapter written on Tuesday after a six-month delay, and now I'm struggling to finish one scene so I can move on to the next. Just gotta wait for the mood to strike, then power through. I'll get it done ... eventually. I'm sure you will too.
