Hello FimFiction folks,
I once again tweaked the first chapter of My Little Poem. It is strange how the smallest bits of advice can help you gain a deeper understanding of your own work... at the risk of your own personal vision. I hope I managed to reach a happy medium with this current revision, but time will tell if it stands the test of time.
As a rare few of you may have known, I have been writing My Little Poem over the course of a year-and-a-half. As I have written it, the story has morphed from something more or less pathetic into something that actually has a modicum of artistic craft behind it. However, the first chapter has always stood out as a sore thumb no matter how much I tried to soldier on and complete the story.
The specter of the semester has come and squashed my free time. Couple that with Diablo 3 on consoles, and it's like I don't have time or writing anymore.
So, am I giving up the ghost? Course not, silly! I would never give up writing unless something happened that made me physically incapable of doing it. In this case, it is simply business and laziness as the main culprits behind my drop in output... which was already scarce as it is.
Well... NaNoWriMo came... and went.
And I got about... oh.... 10% done.
I did what I could. But then I realized something: I wasn't ready for it.
I can't handle more than 1k words per DAY. My schedule, especially in November, just doesn't cut it. And things will likely get more crazy now that I'm getting close to wrapping up my BSE in Mechanical Engineering.
Not only that, but the stress I was putting on myself wasn't healthy. Like, at all.
