I'm alright, how are you?

@ Lily Barnes
Lol

@ indigo umbrella
Ha ha, that sounds accurate

@ Lily Barnes
Lol. I feel that. It's the worst! Especially if you're like me and you post on multiple different sites. And then you have to travel and edit in like 5 different places. And at that point you're just like "Fuck it. I'll change it when someone points it out."

@ indigo umbrella
Yeah. Just recently I needed to change the time of year of one of my stories, so I had to go back and find where I'd mentioned the month earlier in the story where I'd posted it and it was a huge pain

@ Lily Barnes
Exactly! And I'll write something at like the end of the story that changes almost everything. So you have to go back and fix all the plot holes it creates in the beginning. So it's easier just to write it all it one go and then fix those things while you edit for updates.

@ indigo umbrella
Hiatuses suck. You feel guilty for leaving your readers hanging and then the guilt makes it harder to write and you get stuck in the not-writing loop.

@ Lily Barnes
Dude, I have to. Lol. I change stuff around so much. Sometimes I end up rewriting the whole story and then I have like 2 year hiatuses. It's the only thing that keeps me from doing that. I try to avoid updating unless I have a more solid story structure, except for contest entries (because of deadlines).

@ indigo umbrella
I really admire the way you write your whole stories (or at least most of the story) before you start posting them.

@ Lily Barnes
Yeah, it pretty much consumed my life. But it's done now so I'm not as distracted anymore. :X

@ indigo umbrella
Oh, yeah, I remembering you mention the fluff fiction in a couple of your authors notes. I definitely wanna read that.

@ Lily Barnes
Actually, I was mostly distracted by a 55 chapter Bucky Barnes fluff fiction. Also poetry class. But that's minor.

@ She Said Poptarts
How'd they get that hat to stay on his little head? It's too effing cute.

Hahaha, thank you! It's the cutest thing, he's so proud of his hat.

@ indigo umbrella
Did that distraction have anything to do with Civil War? Lol

@ She Said Poptarts
I'm good. I love your icon pic, by the way.

Hi! I'm doing pretty good, and yourself?

Lol. I'm so sorry!

Thank you so much! I'm glad you liked it! Ahahahaha. I'll have the next one up soon! I've just been distracted but now I'm hoping I can get back to writing it. ^.^

@ indigo umbrella
I like that one, I've just never found a good excuse to use it, ha ha

@ Lily Barnes
Lol. It's a good one. My favorite is this one.

@ indigo umbrella
Lol, that's my favorite emoji
