    I am now writing more.

    Going to have to push back against perfectionism a bit. I am revisiting my first draft for Under the Guidance. Changing stuff up, yes, but overall keeping the first 2 acts the same.

    I'm tired of putting it off in fear of not meeting expectations that no one but myself has placed on me.

    I should write more.

    I've got plans to continue Vesperal Breeze's story, for 5 fics in total. That'll conclude the introduction arc to my AU, even if In Search of Sand and Signs sorta jumped the gun on it.

Alright! This is very good news! Yeah, I'd rather just at least do it too and see where it goes from there; at the very least, there's something to improve on or fix, which is always better than having nothing yet.

Looking forward to what's coming next from you, Hearts!

Goal is to get this draft done by the end of the week. Confer with Casket and my other editors, and hopefully get Under the Guidance published by the end of the month or earlier.

This will be my first time publishing any fic that wasn't just a cleaned up first draft. Revising and revisiting has been a nervewracking experience.

They say the first step on a journey is the hardest. Restarting seems much, much harder. You have to carry the guilt of the failed draft on your back for the rest of the journey, and getting mixed up between what's planned, what was planned, and what's been deleted but I still liked kept me from continuing for...about 2 years.
