@ MistressOfInsanity I might read it over the summer. School I really cracking down on me. I'm near the end of the year. I barely have time to read other people's stories let alone write my own.
@ averino Writing is one of those things that takes a hell of a lot of practice. If I don't write for two weeks, I notice a difference. Planning is hands down the best thing you can do though. Every time I've planned something, I've finished it and that's because I've done the hard yards beforehand. If you're interested, I wrote a tutorial on planning a while ago that might help you out? It's more or less how I outline a story.
@ MistressOfInsanity I agree. I really wish I could write. If I look over my stories too much I start to hate them. I usually write them down in a notebook and if I look at them later I rip them up. At the beginning of writing I'm really excited to have a main idea or main character for my stories. Sometimes I just don't know where to start. More often times the problem is I don't know where to go with it. As you can see I'm not very good at planning.
Aw, thank you I totally understand. I think the key is to actually create a human being. There are times where Matt pisses me off, but that's because of particular flaws of his and I'd like to think his good side outweighs the bad. But it's all reasoned out. That's the point of trying to make. Then again, I'm a planning fanatic.
@ MistressOfInsanity I think I can relate to that. I always write so much better when I really know the main character. I like Matt because he's just like me. He's even made me laugh on a few occasions. Often times when I'm reading I start to dislike the main character. I'm like: this character needs to calm down, their life isn't that bad. Or: this character is too full of angst, do they never feel any positive emotion? It's unrealistic. Matt was like the perfect balance.
I think it was because it wasn't from Matt's perspective actually. He's usually so easy for me to slip into as a character and just write whatever sarcastic thought comes to mind. It just took so long to get into it, but once it got to the actual relationship side of it, it became a lot easier and I pumped out 3000 words in one sitting
The next chapter will definitely be easier to write seeing as Matt's narrating again. God I am going to miss him...
Well they're very, very special friends of mine so it's okay. I don't dignify comments that just say 'update?' with a response if it's from anyone else.
@ MistressOfInsanity Well the work definitely paid off. What made it harder to write than your normal chapters? Maybe it will be easier to write next time. If I was a writer it'd probably make me mad if people did that to me.
Aw, I'm glad you did! A fair amount of work went into that one to be be perfectly honest And trust me, you are not being pushy at all. Some of my friends just randomly post on my wall saying "update? " and that's kinda it.
@ MistressOfInsanity I did really like the chapter that explained Daniel's relationship with his stepbrother. One-shots seem like a pretty good idea. I think you should make those one-shots. I'm not being pushy or anything... Anyways I can't wait for the next chapter of whatever you put out first.
My poor little Matt! I think he's been through enough for a while...well, there is still the final chapter to go I'm actually thinking of doing a couple of one-shots in the Bright Lights universe though, like a story on how Dean and Corey's dad met, maybe one on Brandon when he's older. I'm not sure though. I mean it's something I'm interested in for sure. Well that's great then! Yeah, once Bright Lights has actually ended, I'll try and get the first chapter up.
@ MistressOfInsanity It only almost made me cry because I don't want it to be over. I think it would be awesome if you could put Matt through more peril for my amusement. XD I read what you've got of Skeleton Hold. It seems okay so far. I'll be waiting for more chapters. :)
Hey, thanks for the add! I'm so glad you like Bright Lights, but I am sorry it almost made you cry. I'm definitely not going to stop writing anytime soon though. I've actually got the summary page for my next story, Skeleton Hold, up already. It may or may not be something that you're into, I don't know
You don't have to apologize for anything, Love. I've been there, sometimes you just need someone to vent to. And you're not whining, so stop that. :P
I'm glad you said that though, than going for the other in hopes that he would change his mind, because they usually don't.
So, it seems like to me that he's just looking for a rebound. Which hurts, and sucks, but he should have known that you wouldn't let him use you.
Ah, so he's one of those guys. -_-
What did you say to that...?
That sucks, Lovely, I'm sorry...you don't deserve that.
(Not all guys suck, I promise.)
Okay. In twenty days I'll send you the link
