Solid State memories update
2 years ago
Hi all!
Just an update on the story that I've been writing for the last month or so. I've made more frequent posts over on Mastodon but here I can give more full detail on here as to what is going on.
Right now the First editing pass is done. I'm actually much more happy with the text now, and it frankly reads back a lot better. Word of advice to writers, use a text to speech program and have it read back to you. Yes modern word processors, namely word 365 do and can catch silly mistakes. However you will be surprised how many more caught when they are read back! The biggest ones, and ones easiest to miss, are things like sentence structure, and word usage!
Anyway, I am liking how the story is right now, and it's almost in a state where I could feel like publishing it. However I am still catching small things here and there. That and there are some other things, namely
1, There was a paragraph that is about a character who's mostly in chapter 3. I really HATED how it read when I looked it over on the first editing pass. Why? Well it sort of read like some kind of nationalistic chest beating. It's crap, and isn't what I ever want to promote, I think that kind of stuff is trash and shitty, not to mention is liked by people who are frankly garbage. Not only that, it's NOT EVEN what the character it’s talking about is even like! I will admit that it's a world building issue, but I think for now its something that I am going to dial back. Yes the world I am building is mostly set in the city of a nation that has been overtaken by capitalists (and the capitalists are the outsiders). However this fact is better talked about more in a later story, let the garbage people BE the garbage people, show them being jerks. I shouldn't have to say or do that with this character.
2, Chapter 3 is a dream sequence, well of a sort. There's not enough to remind people that is the case, and that's probably due to chapter 3 being where most of all the sex is (which is mostly what the story is being written for mostly). I'm going to be writing a few 'insert' sections to remind people that this is mostly something that is going on in the head of the main character. Oh don't worry! These will too be a bit smutty as well, after all this story is based off a picture of the main character post wanking herself silly. So I think you can expect what they are mostly going to be about. So bring some kleenex! That said, you might also want them when the 'actual' context of the picture is actually revealed, for other reasons. Just saying.
3, Release date.. I am setting it in stone now! October the 28th! I am very confident that I will have the story, edited, and presented for that date! The second pass won't take that long, and I've already been experimenting with presentation. Bollocks to Times New Roman and point 12 fonts! FU! To the lack of a front cover! I WILL get these things done! I promise a quality product, and I am god-dammed gonna try to deliver on that!
And on a slightly different note.
Future projects.. I have been thinking ahead to when Solid State Memories is done. I have ideas for a few follow up stories set in the same universe, some are sort of both direct and indirect sequels to the events of Solid state memories. One is a direct sequel hinted by the end of the story, another is linked via some of the events in the story. Not every story I am planning to write in this universe is going to be porn. In fact one is going to be something that I've been wanting to write for a while now, a detective story.
Also I've, at least over the weekend, I've been toying with writing commissions. Now I've said on Mastodon that I've been off the idea, and I still am. I would rather want as much control over the story as possible, and frankly the last time I took money for doing furry stuff the experience put me off. However if things go places, well I might think about it. As with thinking ahead about story ideas. I did have a concept for one that might work, and to keep some control over the narrative it would be a sort of 'YCH' type thing. Oh and it would be kinky, very kinky! However for now I am going to leave it on the side and see what people make of my first story first before I do anything more.
Whatever happens though, I am going to take a week or two off before I start hitting the keyboard again regardless first!
See'ya later peeps!
Your mostly rested for now wedge face.
