Hey guys so this is a very last-minute blog but, I need a little help as the title says. So, there’s this personal project for the past few weeks maybe almost a month I’m not really sure but my amazing roommate gave me the challenge of finishing one of the many long stories that I have been writing and putting off because I either loose motivation or I get too busy. She has said that if I can finish the book before the end of the year, she’ll book bind it for me. Now, when she told me this I got really hyped and spent the first night really doing nothing else but writing most of chapter. This is kinda where my problem comes in, I’m still currently writing Chapter 5 and even though I am getting close to the end I don’t really think I did the chapter justice.
I just wanted to know if there was someone who would be willing to read chapter 5 for me and tell me honestly if I should start all the way over or if I’m good to keep going to the next chapters. I gave myself the deadline of having this finished by mid-March. I don’t really care about grammar and that stuff right now my made focus is knowing if the story still makes a lick of sense because at this point in time most of the words are just a blur to me and I don’t remember if I wanted to make this child friendly or if it was for young adults.
I love my roommate and I’m glad she gave this challenge because it’s honestly giving life to a story that might have been left on the back burner. Yes, I did choose this story because it was already mostly done. I only really needed to write six more chapters, and I would have been done but now that I’m doing it I realize why I kind of took a break (a year break) from this story. It also kind of doesn’t really help that when I picked up the story, I didn’t have a plan. When I wrote this story there was a plan but like I said before, that was a year ago and I barely remember yesterday so. Anyway, I figured that if I write on paper then type on my computer I more inclined to write more so I get more work done and that’s what I’ve been doing.
Ok so like has anyone every made a character that they hate so much that they want to kill them off, but you can’t cause they are needed for the story. I’m going though that right now with one of mind and it’s taking me off guard, and not because he’s a good guy. This dude is a massive a-hole and that’s what’s catching me off guard cause this man was supposed to be the casual douche that’s every medieval fantasy romance story has but this man did a whole 360, 25 and is now starting to be the actually villain ( I also don’t really want to write a new villain character), but like he really wasn’t every going to be the villain. I didn’t even want to write more about his after the story finally progressed but now, I’m stuck with him. Like the other day I was writing this scene where he was hurting the main character and calling her mother a Sweet Little Unforgettable Thing while also calling her a mistake and I wanted to take a Stake and put it through his heart, he isn’t a vampire but with how pale his face is he might as well be.
Well, that’s enough rambling for a mad woman. If you made it this far, I’m deeply sorry for the craziness you just read but also thank you for reading my blog. It means a lot to me when people read my blogs and with that sappiness over with, I’ll catch y’all on the flip side.
XOXO
