new thought: look at all these issues · 9:22pm Aug 29th, 2021
It has come to my attention throughout the course of a lot of time thinking as well as an increasing number of comments that I have become very boring.
Hold your gasps, there's more.
Anyone who is caught up on the story can easily tell that there is a big problem plaguing it. Well, that's actually subjective, but hopefully everyone can at least recognize the problem's merits for the general populace. The problem, as it were, is a severe lack of anything interesting happening.
Let's skip the part where someone inevitably makes some sort of joke at my expense; because I'm definitely the kind of guy who wants to keep things short, right? Okay, now that I've proved how self aware and funny I am for the five hundredth time, let's get back to the point.
The point, again being, I have severe pacing issues. The last couple chapters have been drawn out, dry, and boring to basically anyone that doesn't have some sort of extreme zeal for subtext. like me Nothing important has really happened for quite some time, in no small part due to my own real life difficulties with scheduling.
I'm not quite sure how to address this problem, though. If I sped the pacing up any sort of great amount, I feel like I would be doing a disservice to my own established conventions for Light's character. On the other hand, I'm starting to get a little sick of writing Light having the same breakdown over and over.
I'm not afraid of saying that the big climax starts in like, two or three chapters; so either way the problem's gonna fix itself eventually, but what about the interim? I still have a lot of subjectively important interactions to slog through, but I'm starting to wonder if I'm losing too many people's interest. Yeah yeah, I know; I shouldn't write for popularity's sake. But eyes on my story provides me with necessary motivation, though my motivation is admittedly at an all-time low.
I'm rambling with no real point, now; and you're probably wondering what the hell we're all doing here. Well... no reason, I guess. I don't really want advice or anything, since anything I would get would probably be biased and whatnot. not that I don't appreciate it, i <3 you people.
I guess I just wanted to air all this junk out there. My poor damaged brain figures that, as long as people know their concerns are addressed, they won't get as mad at me. So there you go, then; I am frighteningly cognizant of me and my story's shortcomings. Let historians and documentarians look back on this moment with awe and aptly muted reverence, as JinxTJL decided to share his weird feelings.
Youve written more than most people ever will, and its of very good quality. There is no need to be so self-deprecating. To me it seems like the story will be picking up regardless, you have been following the plot beats of the show, and this is where the show picked up as well.
I can't believe it!!! Do you know what you have done. I after years of being a voyeur to this site never feeling the need to comment, you go and do something that makes me have to break my usual vow of internet silence and make an account on this site finally.
So first things out of the way (Hugs you) I like your story!
Just wanted to say that because my social awkwardness and bad grammar skills make me afraid to comment on the internet so I never do stuff like this ever. Maybe I like slow burn stories (been a fan of El Goonish Shive forever) but I don't really see any pacing issues or think that you are boring granted I have walked away from chapters wanting more but I always get that feeling when I reading a greatly written story so I see it as a plus that I feel that way about yours. Anyway you got me to come out of my safety closet so that should tell you I really like your story or I'm a socially awkward creep with a fear of talking on the internet, I hope you have a great day God bless and that you feel the happiness you have given me though your story.
