Welcome to another exciting blog post! How are you lovely people doing on this fine day? I do hope you all are well.
Obnoxiousness over with, I've decided to update you all on my life. Not a writing update as I did not too long ago, but just things in the long-run. If you're scared of a "personal" (if you could even call it that) post, you better just leave now. I'm more of in a typing mood at the moment, and in the middle of writers block. What else is new?
Honestly, I've been busy. I probably haven't been so busy not to update my Fanfic, but even so I've got THREE that I'm currently writing, so when I start to write I bounce from story to story...I'm sure you can see how productive that is. Anyone else have that problem? Do tell.
As I've complained about time and time again, Snake Eyes, my current Fic, has a really weird timeline and tone that I can't seem to nail. Errrgh. There is so much awesomeness I want to portray but I can't because I need to even out the tone, which is stupid. Also, I have the next chapter sitting on my computer as it has been for the past month that I'm just gonna go edit and upload now since I've made so many people wait. Let me go jump over and do that... ... ... ... ... ... ...
Here's a snippet, just for you:
“Back
into the cold and wetness again, are we?” Giratina said telepathically. I
just shook my head and walked towards the nearest streetlight. Stopping
underneath it, I examined the paper. Three
days to pay the fee, or else other actions will be taken. I thought. I
growled and crumbled the paper up in my hand. Anger welled up in me like smoke
quickly escaping from a chimney, I threw the paper into a puddle and grabbed my
long hair and pulled.
“Why are you angry?” It questioned.
“Because,” the words slipped
through my clenched teeth, “I gambled all my money away, have nowhere to live,
and the only thing I relied on failed me!”
The Pokémon formed as a shadow beside me, I looked at it. “You, fiend. You were the only thing I relied on. You told me that you would get me fame, fortune and love. I don’t have any
of those things! In fact, look where I am!” I gestured with my arms widely.
Rain pounded down even harder now. The drops rolled down my face harshly.
“You haven’t fully trusted in me, Samuel Lea.
Put your trust wholly in me, and I will take you the right way.”
Also, check out this paragraph of description I'm super proud of:
Ace and I were left, and we went up
the last flight of stairs. On this hallway there were only two doors across
from each other; presumably the two biggest apartments. We entered the left
door and stepped inside to a huge living room. Thankfully, the ugly carpet was
replaced with perfect marble with gold lines running through it; turning into a
large, more elegant version of the reappearing diamond design of The Game
Corner. Inside each diamond was a flowery heart, elegant and graceful yet not
girlish. I lifted my head from the floor and noticed the rest of the room. The
walls were off-white, matching the floor, and the frame around each set of
doors (There were many sets of doors) was about a foot wide with vines and
diamond designs expertly carved in them. Red velvet covered the matching sofa
set that sat in the center of the room in front of a large bay window. You
could see Veilstone City lit up softly, and even The Corners fluorescent sign.
Tah duh! If that peaked your interest it is now posted on Fanficition. Click on the picture of myself in Chibi form right next to this blog post to be transported there on a magical penguin!
Here's the thing with this story...I can't seem to nail this tone, and it feels all wrong. Any advice for anything would be greatly appreciated. I almost want to bail out on this story because I can't seem to get it right, and I barely have inspiration. How do you get inspiration for writing? Any tips? Anybody?
(Whoops, I was supposed to not be obnoxious.)
Should I get a Beta? Would that help? Erf. Just leave a really lengthy comment about your feelings on the story so I can see from a readers point of view. That would help a whole lot, actually!
Hmmm...Yup that's about it. Just whineyness over my story. In other news, holidays are coming up. Wow. ON TOP OF THAT,
PlayStation 4 was just released ftw! Xbox One being released this weekend! I'm still all for PS4, but Xbone is exciting nonetheless. Ah, it's so awesome.
Anyway, have a great day/week/holiday season/second/year! Thanks for reading.
