Strange... I got less productive on writing after I got my laptop now that I look at it...

@Kiki57123 It's called school.
          	  
          	  "School? Well Rea's got a Tablet but she still draws, what's the difference?" Asked Grey, Rea nodding in response.
          	  
          	  Uhhhh
          	  
          	  "Don't tell me you don't want to give us more screen time, this calls for a Revolution!" Exclaimed Grey, picking up a baguette like a sword.
          	  
          	  "Grey... stop messing around in the food isle, you won't get away with eating that Baguette while pretending it's been captured..." Groaned Spark, "Besides, you tried this last week and it didn't work".
          	  
          	  "Well you know what they say, third time's the charm!" Complained Grey.
          	  
          	  "It's the second time though..." Muttered Rea.
          	  
          	  "Oh wait..." Said Grey as he realised. If third time's the charm... then second time's a failure...
          	  
          	  "Runawayyy" Shouted Grey as he sprinted out the store.

I'm starting to think that the non-rewrite was so stupid and comedic that it just works better... oops?
          I loveeeee overthinking stuff

LilSushiGuy

That’s my struggle with writing high fantasy like magic systems and stuff. Certain peeps like comic romance and awkward beans boinking tippy toes, while others like lore. Lore takes a lot more effort to write and read, though…

In case any of you were wondering because you came to a similar thought, yes the 4th chapter of the rewrite feels like the connection and meaningful meeting happened a bit fast, I'm aware. I've been considering whether to first expand on Grey's internal battles in a few chapters and moving the encounter back a bit, but that will be a lot of work so for now I'll just leave it like it is.
          
          Any questions? I'll answer all of them- unless they're really stupid, but that seems unlikely

Removed the Chapter 4, it was not up to standards, and also inconsistent? Probs. 
          
          On a separate note, pre-2020 music is peak for making me want to write again. So I'm working on making a good chapter 4 right now. No promises for when it will come out, I want quality not quantity this time

Volkanobursto

Chapter 4 is now published, it is definitely not my finest work, I had literally no plan for it, so it... dare I say almost feels like filler. It's quiet possible that in a few days time I'll give it a solid rewrite to improve it. 
          
          Though for the fact I've been not bringing myself to write for ages, it turned out okay. I do have to think deeply about what I want happening in the story, and add some depth into the characters though, otherwise it won't actually be that interesting, one can only keep up minimal character depth for so long before the characters start feeling like they aren't that interesting

Volkanobursto

Whyyyy, WHYYYY... Why am I suffering? Well, I just had a pull to continue the DOE: Rewrite, so I looked into what I did... and why is it so good... and I've been dodging it for who knows how long... ugh....
          
          Anyway, I'm FORCING myself to write the next chapter TODAY, so I'll make sure there's one within the next 12 hours (I might end up falling asleep before I publish it)
          Life is so annoying, that story is good...

Volkanobursto

Thanks to a 12 hour flight I’ve been thought of about 4-5 chapters for a mew story, or in a sense old concept of mine. I just gotta actually write it now… yay? 
          
          Also, the file I wrote the content for the 4-5 chapters in is unironically almost 2k words

New story, new story, not mew story.

Writing is easy to get into, you can just have a idea, a general idea or a ship you like, and then you write. It seems easy, because to some extent, it kinda is.
          
          The problem is mastery. 
          
          When you get into writing, you just kinda write it how you know how to write, it works, but it's not solid, it's full of flaws, and doesn't feel all that smooth. The problem that most people who aren't writing don't see is that it's incredibly hard to master Writing, why? Because you don't know what kind of writing style fits you.
          
          If you get into drawing, you see what others make, so starting out is hard. The end-game however, it's rather simple. Drawing becomes fun, you like doing it, mastery happens with time as long as you continue drawing and trying new things sometimes.
          
          So I would say that although sure, Writing is "easier" then drawing at first, sticking with writing is the real challenge, because you perfection in writing is incredibly hard to reach, if even possible.
          
          Random thought that I'm pretty sure is accurate, even though I don't draw so that was slightly just speculation.
