Chapter 10 is currently under construction and I realised something. When I started off with the story, I had very little clarity about the characters and I was very sure I was going to mess it up. But I guess you really just have to keep showing up because the more I write, the clearer the characters become. Like I find myself discovering the characters as I write. Same for the plot. While the basic framework was in place and a few scenes here and there, I had no clue how to go about it. But as I write, new scenes come up on their own and somehow they connect with the story and the rest of the scenes. Maybe you don't need a detailed character sketch or a detailed storyline before you start. All you need to do is start. Guys, again, I don't know, my writing might just suck really bad and y'all are just being supportive (ily for that), but I'm slowly gaining confidence and it's nice. So I guess this is a lesson for all of us. Show up for the things you care for. Everything else will just fall into place.
That was my little rant session. Thank you for reading. Be right back after I finish ch10~
