New chapter of Black Jack (and shit got STEAMY)

I saw you on an Instagram post telling people to follow your pfp. Hi :) 

I really want to write another chapter of Black Jack. But that would involve sitting down and writing for a solid hour or so while trying to battle an overwhelming case of writer’s block. 
          
          It’s insane. It’s like I can’t even write a single sentence without hating it. 
          
          AND furthermore I currently have zero motivation because nobody has even glanced at my last published chapter. (Did you see that hint I dropped?  Wink.) 
          
          Simply put, I would really like to write again. But at the same time I would also really not like to write again.

Warm summer nights. A dimming sky, trees and houses now replaced by silhouettes. I close my eyes, just for a second. Only a second... 

Another late night thought:
          
          I am totally and completely infatuated with words. There’s just something so incredibly beautiful and seductive about them that I can’t exactly put my finger on. 
          
          I started to harbor this fascination for words somewhere around the beginning of my freshman year in high school. There are so, so many different types of words that share the same meaning, yet sound and feel completely different. 
          
          Using certain types of words can make your language sound poetic and flowy, whereas other words can make you sound completely different. 
          
          I feel as if I’ve explained myself to the best of my capabilities, which isn’t very much. But it’s getting awfully late and I should probably get some sleep, so I will briefly and abruptly close up this late night thought.
          
          Au revoir,

Hellllllllo again. C’est moi. 
          
          I just realized (but not for the first time) how fast the plot of ‘Black Jack’ is moving. 
          
          I had originally written in the chapters “down the rabbit hole” and “Cheshire cat” (funny coincidence: they’re both ‘Alice in Wonderland allusions) to take place way later in the book, but I just got so excited that I decided to post them earlier. This decision didn’t seem to be the brightest. 
          
          Maybe it’s just me, but the plot seems to be moving very, very fast. The Flash pales in comparison. 
          
          Yes, that was a joke. Was it funny? No. Did I put it in there anyway? Hell yes.
          
          Anyway, back to what I was saying, any thoughts/opinions? 
          
          Should I add a few chapters in between for a smoother transition, or is it good the to way it is?
          

Late night thought: writing wattpad books is fun but when you’re starting out can feel awfully one-sided. Or maybe one-sided isn’t the proper term, because there is nobody on the other side in whose participation (or lack thereof) would cause the one-sidedness. Does that make sense?
          
          I feel as if I’m talking to myself. Or writing, if you would. 
          
          Anyway, I would have gotten to the point of this whole complicated paragraph if there were one. But alas, there is no point. At all. None.
          
          So here I am, a girl and her phone, laying in bed on this freezing winter night, pouring her random late night thoughts onto this page.
          
          I sometimes just wish I could skip the icky starting out part and jump right to the part where your book has too many reads to count and thousands and thousands of comments. Because that’s what I really love: comments. I honestly think it’s the coolest thing, having people talk about YOUR book. YOUR creation, YOUR characters (be it good or bad). 
          
          And this is the part where I abruptly close up my late-night thought and contemplate on wether or not I should actually post this. And then I think, “what do you have to lose? About 1.5 people will actually read this.”
          
          And then I do post it and here you are: you lovely, amazing soul who sacrificed the time to read this pitiful and sloppy piece. 
          
          And I will leave now. I was never good at closings.

Would you mind checking out my book, also? I’m just starting out and could really use a boost

Hey! No problem:) it’s awesome!

Hello, lovely people who somehow happen to come across the quaint little corner on wattpad known as my profile. 
          
          As a bored writer with a restless mind, i think it would be really fun to critique/edit other people’s books. If you have a book and would be interested, please let me know!
          
          Thank you;)
