First news of this long blog post; I am moving my blog from livejournal to blogspot. I feel like blog spot is more open to people than livejournal which requires people to have livejouranls. Besides, blogspot was more what I was looking for when I started the blog, but being the so out of the loop person that I am, I didn’t know about it. I already set up the blog, and archived it, so it’s no different really from my livejournal but different template and I think more accessible, so I hope you folks like it.
Boy I’ve been dragging my feet like mad lately haven’t I? I love how in my last post I went on and on about how I wanted to do a chapter a day, and then I go and make everyone wait a week, or was it two? I really don’t keep track of the days very well. I had some issues over here the past few weeks. A friend went though family issues and crashed at my place, which I might have mentioned. Company made it harder to write and Timeless is a ‘use it or loose it’ story. When I just sit down and write it, it comes out great. Now and then I’ll have a problem, but over all it will flow and a little hard work can work out any kinks.
But the moment I stop, even for a little while, it will just stop on me. Jenny and I aren’t that much alike, making it harder to get into her head. Nebi and I are very alike, but try as I might, Nebi isn’t this story’s main main character. Every romance story has one main main character. The one that the couple focuses on more, sometimes just a little, sometimes a lot. This one is Jenny, not Nebi, next story I want to do with this pair may be more Nebi focused, I dunno, we’ll see. Point is, that I have to keep writing this story or I won’t write this story.
So I had writer’s block like you wouldn’t believe. The best part of my writer’s block is it often comes with special little temptations. Stuff to throw in my way to tempt me away from my third, third novel, and damnit I don’t want to do that to you guys, not again. I want to finish this book, and the more I thought that I lost the story the more I wanted to just finish it. I like my new ideas a lot, and I have some interesting ideas, (which I will discuss in a few minutes), but I want to finish this story.
This is the first of the three novels I started after Beasts that I feel I can finish. So I forced my self though this chapter and boy am I happy. It was rocky in the beginning and with the huge break between chapters I apologize if things aren’t as smooth as you’re used too. I forgot details and wrote the majority of this chapter, and this blog entry, after midnight when normally I go to bed so I’m more than a little tired. But it’s done and finally we got a little action. I didn’t leave this chapter on a cliff hanger persay, but I bet more than a few of you will feel like you’re hanging. I promise I’ll try to get my next chapter out quicker.
Even with the flow going I really want to finish this novel. I think because I feel like the end is getting closer.
On other business, I have halted editing Beasts for the time being. I think it added to my writer’s block with Timeless. The opposite way the couples handle their relationship makes it hard to swing back and forth between the two. Also, I like the quick get together, lots of shit trying to break them up, more than the long teasing get together. So I grew jealous and resentful of Timeless when I worked on Beasts. So Beast will be delayed. Not that it really affects you good people but, but it does affect me, so here it is. XD
Now, I want to discuss updates. I mentioned over the summer I want to do a chapter a day, and well the summer is coming to a close and I dunno if I’ll do that anyway, but I was thinking of how to get more people to read my work. I thought of a way that might get more people’s attention is update days, or like how webcomics update. That is, one chapter a week, always posting on say Tuesday. (I don’t know if I’d do Tuesdays, but you get what I mean.) What do you people think? If interested post in my comments? I can do a chapter a week and think I already do, but this way I could perhaps build my writing muscles to even two chapters a week. Would you guys like knowing when a chapter was coming? Please let me know.
And finally, New Idea Time! I mentioned earlier I’ve been getting new ideas and I’ve wanted to let you folks know about them. First;
Musician Magic
This is an RP idea that failed but made me want to write it anyway. My male lead came to me in a flash of inspiration and I like him already. The female lead was built a bit on my suggestions and since she was never fleshed out, it will be easy to mold into what I want from her. The basic idea is that an ex-child prodigy turned rocker approaches a girl whose recent car accident turned her from a second rate violinist into a prodigy of herself. He tells her of a level of skill only few can obtain that unlocks a magic in and of itself. He offers to teach her in payment to his old mentor, but soon the pair is dragged between the battle between the two schools of thoughts in this musical magic, and their own desire for each other. Will have cute band mates, and be a bit more adult than others, though still young.
Lover’s Lies
This is another RP idea that I mostly came up with and might want to turn into a novel. I’m not a hundred percent like with the Musician Magic one. In this one a mysterious but popular boy at school starts dating a driven, and slightly unpopular girl at high school. Their relationship is off the beaten track for both of them, but going well, if superficial. All this is changed when the boy’s magical past (I like fantasy), catches up to them, forcing them to chase a magical macguffin over this world and the next to stop a man the boy once served like a son. Along the way, the boy will learn of love and redemption and the girl will learn how to let old wounds heal and how sometimes the best treasures are the ones you already have.
Finally, Non Magic Farm Boys!
This one I might have brought up before, I don’t remember. Gist of the story is simple. A girl fights with her parents over her future, and runs away to her estrange grandfather’s farm. There she finds two brothers who have been working for her grandfather for a few years now, and view her with suspicion over her intentions with the old man she never met and his profitable farm. Eventually the suspicion may bloom into warmer, kinder emotions.
Anyway, those are my new ideas. I wanted to put them down here, so I wouldn’t forget. Well, I’m going to bed and will post this, and my new chapter in the morning. Good night Readers, I hope new changes are upon us.
