"Spilled Ink" Progress Commentary #1 · 3:17am Jul 20th, 2020
It's been about 1 month since I began writing Spilled Ink. So far, there are 4 published chapters with 17,879 words in total. In the time I've been writing, there have been 112 unique views, 7 comments, 5 likes, and 0 dislikes
Honestly, I've surprised myself so far. I'm not a fast writer by any means, so even if I only add a few hundred words per day that's still a win for me.
Writing is something that interests me. Not that fame and fortune junk that some people get all hung up on, expecting that they're writing something on the level of A Song of Ice and Fire, Lord of the Rings, or A Wheel of Time. I enjoy the process of developing a world, of creating characters to populate that world, of plotting the interactions of characters within that world. I like taking something in my mind's eye and describing it, so that hopefully somebody who reads it could imagine something resembling what I'm talking about. I've been doing that, I am currently doing that, and I hope to still be doing that as I move into the rest of my life.
Writing this kind of story on Fimfiction is going to be a slightly different experience than the one I was having before. Instead of writing in a bubble, only turning to others for the occasional input and suggestion, Fimfic is an open forum for others to view and critique my work as it develops. Spilled Ink is still in its early stages, especially considering the scope of what I'd write in an ideal world, but only time will tell how well it turns out.
Are there any thoughts from those of you who cared enough to read this through?
