Haha, I must say I am lucky that I have a crap memory sometimes...but with my own story that is a problem. I send it to my friend to read and she says she liked one bit...and I can't even remember writing it!

Haha, that often happens to me! XD It seems to be, though, that when writing I blank out and when reading again I remember. It takes a while to jog my memory, but then I can see stuff quite clearly. It's both a blessing and a curse - especially when I know what I meant to write, but nobody else does and I don't see a problem. xd

Oh I get that with posting my works online. I'll get reviews saying I didn't describe something in the right detail or explain something clear enough...when I read it...its perfect xD

Exactly. XDD So, I never really know what I'm doing anyway. Might as well wing it, eh? =P

I'm hoping that university will help me some more.

Lol I have the same problem.. so I have to always keep scrupulous notes and art pieces showing who/where/when and all that with my books xD; even so, I mess up sometimes .. oh well, yay editing!
PostPosted: Fri Jul 24, 2009 11:07 am


Haha I'm either in the mood for editing or not...when I proof read...I usually get stuck into my story reading instead haha.

Well, two stories on the go which I loathe but my friend said to post my FictionPress story on there...and I still find it hard to write the rest of it.

Carnality however...wow. I've finally figured out the ending and it's going to rattle the foundations a little. Also I have certain risks that people will either love or hate about the fiction. Oh well. I'm writing it xD

Something challenging can be great though. I don't always agree with the fiction I read, but often that's the fiction that is the most memorable to me. =D Write for yourself, not for anybody else. The quality (and enjoyment of others) should be a natural progression, don't you think? =D

Haha yep, they can put up with whatever I write. My choice! Someone else has to like it surely... razz

Totally. I mean, you're not going to be the only person in the world who likes what you like, are you? That's near impossible. With this many people on the planet, I assure you there will be at least one other person with the same likes as you. xd

27th July 2009

Chan: Yep, I totally agree!

Okay, time for a real update.

Progress:
Carnality - I have finally planned what is going to happen through the rest of my novel, which means my characters are going through huge stuff soon. I'm so glad they aren't alive so they cannot kill me themselves. My Sorcerers are coming in soon with their 'good' intents.
I love how they are the good guys but ultimately evil. I'm finally writing from the bad guy side...and it turns our pretty good.

Rising from the Ashes - My FictionPress story. I still have no idea what is happening but all these random ideas are coming to me. A lot of people are reading it, so obviously I'm doing something right. Usually I don't ask people's opinions on what happens next but I might do on this one...poor Phoenix needs help haha.

Well done!

You seem to be making good with Carnality. :3 Mhmmm, progress. Doesn't it taste sweet? XD

8th August 2009

Carnality: ....on hold because of my FictionPress story where too many people and demanding more. I should love it...but I really want to finish Carnlity.

Rising from the Ashes - Going on strong...and honestly have no idea where is is coming from. In about twenty two days...I've written 60,000+ words...oh man.

Niiiiiiice!

Even more progress! That's what I like to see!

Although if you want to write more on Carnality, I recommend you do it. Write for yourself (or maybe try and balance the two!)

:]
PostPosted: Sun Aug 23, 2009 7:04 am


Balancing didn't work sad
I finished Rising from the Ashes and my reviewers want a sequel! Now onto Carnality once more!
