Musing on feedback.
Right, no fic in this one, I've two more fics to put up and then I'm going to start putting up more journal entries as opposed to fic entries. I enjoy writing and adore getting feedback but that's not really what this journal is for. Looking back over the last two months or so, I see only the faintest trace of the thoughts and introspections that I originally started this journal to vent.
Not that I regret taking up wholesale fic-writing exactly but just because I can write lots doesn't really mean I should. I spam you lot enough as it is and it takes more effort to orgainize my thoughts in an entry like this than it does to write a fic - particularly when it's an original fic, so I'd write considerably less which means less spamming.
Current plans are to finish out the BHD, Sharpe and ToT fifty drabbles before the end of October so watch for them over the next two weeks particularly. Then November and NaNoWriMo. Expect this journal to go rather quiet about then - due to the novel I intend to try writing being mainly ToT with many crossovers - I've decided to keep it friends-locked and the hassle of including it in this journal would be an added irritant I don't need.
I'm also not going to publicise the name of this journal here - it's something I'm doing for myself and don't see other people as being terribly interested in it. If I'm wrong and you'd like to read the thing, feel free to let me know. Thus ends the reference to NanWriMo in this journal.
And brings up a interesting point - who do we write these journals to? I've always written this journal to a non-existant audience. I find it easier to articulate things if I'm talking to somebody even if there isn't actually anyone there. (yes, this can lead to 'interesting' conversations). Perhaps it's from being a writer - I want to know. Who, what, where, why, how, when? I find even the smallest details can be extremely fascinating and help me to appreciate the tapestry of the story more. Perhaps that's why I like fanfic - it offers possible answers to open questions in the fandom.
Of course, as anyone whose met me in real life will attest, there is a side-effect to this. Since I want to know absolutely everything about whatever my current distraction is, it seems only fair that I open myself up to. I don't do this lightly - all appearances aside, I'm a private person and unless you ask, you don't find out that much about me. I will answer questions if asked, it's just noticing that I say very little that actually tells you anything concrete about me amidst the chatter.
And yes, I am conciously aware of what I'm doing - it just suits me fine to leave things as they are. I've been told that I come across as aloof when confronted with strangers. I also have no qualms about whipping out notebook or sketchpad to pass the time if I loose interest in the conversation. (As a side-note, my resolve to work on realism lasted all of three sketches. CHIBI-attack!)
Anyway, I should go - stuff to do and all.
You are a total wing whore! You like them big, bad
and fluffy! Watch out they also shed.
