Hey, all.
You may be wondering where I went... Or maybe why I never posted another chapter of AD.
Well– it’s as simple as this.
I chickened out and ran off!
When it comes to writing, I’ve always struggled with descriptions. I rewrite and rewrite and rewrite, but I can rarely describe a scene in a way I’m happy with. Oftentimes, character dialogue ends up taking over. And that’s not all a book should be.
Occasionally, I get to the point where I say ‘to hell with it– if I just take the first step and start posting it, I’ll be able to get past this.’
Biggest lie ever fucking told.
And so I begin to gradually discourage myself. Any confidence I had in my story dwindles, and I eventually quit working on the project altogether.
I’m working on taming this sort of attitude. I do realize every writer has this sort of ‘demonic inner critic’– and most writers on here manage to shuffle their way past it, without taking their story down.
For now, however, I am going to take down the newer chapters of AD and leave the book as a prologue and first chapter. This unfortunate development is just until I can be happy (or ‘happy enough’) with what I’m writing for it.
Think of it as a teaser.
Until then; you can expect a book of one-shots (otherwise known as a ‘compilation of short stories’) to mosey it’s way onto my account at some point. (It’s good to get some practice in, here and there)
If you’ve made it this far, thank you for reading, and have a blessed morning/evening/night.
Happy writing. <3
