How does everybody feel about non linear stories?? Like back and forth between “present” and past. Personally I love reading them it feels like a puzzle or a mystery that slowly gets put together.
@coldshoulderlover I love that too. Honestly my favourite way of writing. It's so interesting discovering a character's story bit by bit. Keeps the mystery going
Chapter 3 is up! ❤️
Chapter 2 is up!! ❤️❤️❤️
Chapter 1 is now up! ❤️❤️❤️
Well, I did it.
So, here’s to new beginnings and being brave enough to start over!! It’s scary but it feels so good. Chapter 1 will be up this evening. ❤️❤️❤️ thank you to all my wonderful friends for your unwavering support. ❤️❤️❤️❤️
@dixondarlin thank you so much my sweet friend ❤️❤️❤️❤️ I am so excited for you to read it!
@coldshoulderlover so proud of you! I can't wait to read your re-writing and experience your beautiful writing all over again! I commend you for taking the steps towards bettering not only your incredible writing, but for taking the steps that scare you, that are daunting, but push you to create and honor what you want for yourself as a writer! I admire you tremendously!❤️
okay, this new theme... you never miss!
Heavily considering un-publishing Shake The Frost and reworking some chapters. I’m just not happy with the beginning of the story and it might help re-spark my love for this story and the series as a whole…
@moonshinee_ thank you so much for your kind words of encouragement!! I’ve made a rough draft for the first chapter and I already feel miles better about it so I will continue on and let it stew and decide soon. I hope you will find the spark to get something posted soon!! I’m dying to read your work!!! ❤️❤️❤️
@dixondarlin thank you so much my sweet friend. Your support means the absolute world to me
@coldshoulderlover honestly, I get it. I did the same thing before. Sometimes all you need is to change the tiniest detail in the beginning to come up with new ideas. So do whatever works best for you. Just remember to be kind to yourself because sometimes we are too harsh on ourselves and look at our work through a heavily critical lens❤️
Trying so hard to get this chapter out for you all but I’m struggling to connect with it, which usually means I need to scrap it all and start over. I’m just having a hard time doing that since I’ve already written 6k words but it’s just not feeling right. I don’t know when the update will be out, just know I’m trying and working at it every day! Thanks for bearing with me
I have NO clue when Exile will be updated again. I’ve scrapped and started over on it several times now, just waiting for the right spark to get it rolling. (Kacey & Harry are a tricky dynamic to say the least that I want to do justice for, so it takes a little while for those pieces to come together. )
@moonshine_ you’re the best ❤️❤️❤️ yes, it’s been such a rough time since the film. But we will all prevail and move past it in time. These characters mean too much to us ❤️❤️❤️
@coldshoulderlover I feel you. I've been so disconnected since the film that I can't put myself into the characters to write anything. Also I just feel like the weather and pretty much everything right now is so heavy that no inspiration comes through. So most importantly just take care of yourself and your health. I'll be excited to read it no matter when it's done because your writing is worth waiting for. Sometimes we need to find that spark again, and that takes some time.❤️
@coldshoulderlover hi! I hope you're alrightl! I just wanted to thank you for all your votes, it touches me so much you have no idea. It means a lot to me really ! I hope that you enjoy your reading! Thank you again and Have a good day!
@cassandraofTroyy omg you are so welcome!! You’re an amazing writer and you deserve all the praise!!
I’m just still so upset and still have no words to express it
@dixondarlin yes I completely agree. It’s a blow that truly hurts and will take time to get over. I’m just going to have to sit down and do a true rewatch of the series all the way through to find that love and spark again. I still have so much adoration for the original series and that’s what I’ll hold in my heart not this let down of a film ❤️❤️❤️❤️
@coldshoulderlover I completely understand and empathize with this. For the solid week after experiencing it in theaters, I felt so numb and in deep mourning. The grief was so heavy. Not only the disappointment and devastation of the film, but the way it felt like it impacted and tore the entire series from me. Two weeks later, I still find myself struggling at times. The images or vivid, palpable memories of experiencing it are starting to fade some. I have omitted this film from my mind, I try not to think about it or sit with it, holding firm to the series and that ending. However, it can still be very difficult. You can't unsee something once you've seen it or unfeel something once you've felt it. We're just navigating through it best we can. It takes time, it takes allowing ourselves to feel what we need to feel (anger, disappointment, grief, sadness) and find ways to not let it take what has been so important and meaningful to us. But it has been a very hard month, I never thought I would ever have these thoughts or feelings, so it just takes time to heal from this blow.❤️
@moonshinee_ yes!! 100% everything you said. The movie no longer exists to me I’m going to try to pretend to be blissfully unaware. I’m with you on the oldies. If it’s not broken don’t fix it. ❤️
