The After-Sex Smoke #5: Mona Squiggles · 7:02pm Jul 31st, 2019
Hello and Welcome back to The After-Sex Smoke. This is my blogging series where I explain why I do the dumb things I do. Today's After-Sex Smoke is on my latest character assassination story (which also happens to be a "commission" for Hoovier) Mona Squiggles
So this is quite the odd one. After such a long hiatus, I got advanced writing fatigue. I stopped writing almost everything even though I had a lot of ideas. My buddy Hoovy comes along and says that he has a new OC that he wants to be lewded, and I jumped on the opportunity.
This particular draft of the story is #4. I'd restarted the story a few times before committing to this version because of a clash of ideas. Because I wasn't given much of a scenario, or an event list, or anything that would guide me plot-wise (except perhaps the fact that she's an artist with a passion for being a camgirl). This led me through a few stages of development, and all and all, it took me a while to write exactly what I wanted as well. I don't know the exact date, but even just this simple commission took me about 2 months to complete.
So, how would I rate the writing? Despite my absence, I've been assured by a close friend of mine that there's no reason to be worried, and my writing hasn't waned. What I'm choosing to interpret that as is "I haven't grown any either" which is a problem I'm facing. If anyone has any advice on that particular problem, I'd be glad to hear it. Anywhosen, given that the writing is the accumulation of two all-nighters (one of which I'm still on as I write this, R.I.P. my mental health), the tone switches quite a bit. Sometimes, I'd feel cold and calculated, describing scenes in maximum detail and writing dialogue at my best. Other times, I was sleep-deprived and looney, and despite me never having heard anyone say this in real life, type out "pantaloons", which to be fair, still gets a laugh out of me. So if the writing seems a bit off and disjointed, this is why.
Another problem that might arise, again due to my poor life choices, is just grammatical and technical errors. Stilted dialogue, long-winded explanations or no explanations at all. It just so happens that I write faster when I'm tired, go figure. I don't see many mistakes, but to try to give you all the best experience possible, I got my aforementioned friend to scan it for me. Thanks, LC.
I think that's all. Thanks again for your time listening to my long excuses, and see you soon (probably and hopefully, but unlikely) on the After-Sex Smoke!
Thank you con, youre a selfless dude, I owe you one!
