Hey yāall, I know itās been a while, but I feel like I owe you an explanation. I havenāt been working on Equality (my story, not some deep seated racism or anything).
I would like to tell you since last year Iāve gotten better with my writing and have improved, but that would be lying. I havenāt progressed on the third chapter since last year; Iāve been stuck around the 4,000 word marker. I havenāt drafted or come up with new ideas for said story. Frankly, I wanted to write so bad I forgot the fundamentals of planning and making a compelling story. I grew tired forcing my thoughts into my story. Writing Equality has never flown from my mind to on screen with ease. Certain scenes came out more quickly than others, with my writing not being well rounded. Every character I made or tried to portray was static, with no character flaws or the inverse, major character flaws that were seemingly solved in the blink of an eye. I guess because if my lack of life experience, I havenāt fully developed the writing skills needed to portray the complex ideas I come up with.
Maybe itās a stretch to call my story idea complex, itās convoluted, at its best. I donāt know what Iāll keeping doing with writing, or even if Iāll continue at all. Currently Iām trying to write a Yang X Reader oneshot to get my creative process back into full swing. You guys might like it, if I ever finish it.
Iāve always had problems beginning stories. I can write and choreograph action scenes with no problem, and I can cram a story full of fluff, but I canāt progress plot in a logical manner for the life of me. At least in the beginning. The transition from exposition to action is very difficult for me to materialize on paper.
