Ideas and Things
a year ago
Thought I would post here again since the last one was so long ago and a lot has happened since then. I've been slowly chipping away on the latest entry in my Peromi Quest series and have even started brainstorming on the one after that. My idea is that I would make it a double feature since the time between this entry and the last one was so long. Of course my latest story submission was the Jinx fanfic self-insert sort of thing. That was super fun to write because I never stopped running out of ideas to put in, and I could put in my own brand of humor and in-jokes. I've been musing over something similar that I could do. Something without any of my normal characters. A one-off story with no real goal other than being fun.
Then there are the big projects, I've got three big stories that I have been slowly adding to idea after idea. Unfortunately the eager beaver in me wants them to be done and finished, but they're going to have a connected nature about them and I shouldn't work on one without finishing the other. I've tried to think of other things since all I want to do is write, and I can't write the third entry of a book series without doing the ones before it. But my mind keeps coming back to it and keeps making ideas. The best I can do is write them down, but I know that all of these projects require a lot of time, planning and effort. Something I haven't quite gotten the hang of.
In the meantime, I'm trying to expose myself to new ideas and stories in hopes that I can have a revelation that drives me to write as passionately as I did with the Jinx story. It's not that I don't have it with my other projects, its just that writing those requires a different frame of mind, and also planning. Which is still something I am bad at. Execution however is the thing I am worst at. It's very hard for me to actually sit down and write, I'm not sure what the culprit is there and have considered many things, but I do chip away at my projects every so often. Slow progress is still progress, I just hope that the results are things that are as fun to read as they were to write.
