@_LookingAtStars_ I finally watched Dune and you were so right, it was amazing! Although I am with your Mom on the ending. I was a little disappointed with the ending, but I understand it will hopefully open up to a part two.

@shesaworkoffiction yip, me and my mum watched it 2 nights ago. Timothée was amazing, though I wish that we got to see more of Zendaya. My mum got kind of mad about the end, she's not really patient when it comes to writing for sequels. I'm hoping for Part 2! It's truly poetic.
            
            Btw, when watching, make little mental notes because it really helps. It seems like things become more linked nesting the middle and end of the movie. I'm constantly checking up on word from the director and actors of a part 2 is going to be confirmed.
            
            Not many people enjoy poetic and interlinked/entwined sci-fi's, like Dune for example. But this movie had totally changed the future for sci-fi movies. The graphics and graphic art and engineering used was phenomenal and mind blowing. The level and skill put into this, I can't even comprehend 
            
            I hope that you get to watch it soon. It's definitely worth that 8.3 star rating it for from imbd, but I'm rating it a 8.9 out of 10. It's definitely worth the wait

@_LookingAtStars_ Me too! I haven't watched it yet though. Have you?

@aethrastic_dreamxx OMG THANK YOU! And thank you so much for all of your votes and comments. I hope you love the story. ♡

That’s wonderful ❤️

@weaselb You have no idea how much I appreciate your response! ♡ I guess I felt like I shouldn't be making revisions when I haven't even completed the story yet... I am writing as I go. I have a general plot, but most chapters have not been pre-planned and I'm learning this isn't a great strategy. It may work for some people, but unfortunately with me it means there may be a new chapter in 2 weeks or it might be 3 months. I know this is frustrating for me and my readers, but for some reason I am really struggling with writer's block and how to move forward. I want to make my chapters mean more and be more plot centered rather than be filler chapters. However, I'm finding it difficult to develop characters and their relationships while also furthering the plot. Your advice was very helpful and encouraging. The fact that this world is in my hands was something that really resonated with me. I truly need to sit down and write anything that comes to me instead of putting so much pressure on myself. Thank you!

so . . . ripping hearts out is very common in writing and writers themselves aren’t excluded from that, unfortunately. pffbt. i’ve written chapters that didn’t sit right with me AT ALL and i didn’t feel any inkling of satisfaction from them for ages before deciding to trash bits and bobs and adding something completely different. there ARE authors on watt that have unpublished books to revamp or rewrite them; it’s okay to pour your heart out in another way, it doesn’t make what you’ve already written any less valid! your readers should have the heart to understand and still enjoy wherever else it is you feel your story needs to go.
            
            and if you do make the decision to thanos snap some things here and there, just remember that they can still be on standby in a draft somewhere. maybe you like the way you wrote something ( because LORD your writing is pretty ) or there’s dialogue you’d want to see again, and what if there’s a scene you could revise to be even better or more relevant later?? it’ll become useful to already have it on hand. sometimes it’s even nice for earlier fans  to recognize original pieces re-entering your work. ;)
            
            you hold an entire world in your hands and you can bend every single life living in it at a whim. impermanence is a literal gift on watt and writers here are lucky they’re able to go back and change, grow through their books. recognizing that we can improve something is a sign of growth as authors!! so don’t develop a bad relationship with revising what’s already been published! 
            
            just remember to give your supporters a heads up with what’s been changed and we’ll eat it all up, all over again. cheers :)
