Man, I really didn't think this chapter would be so long. I'd originally planned it to be in two parts, not three. Guh, and it took me over a year to finish it too. x__x

( Fanfiction tl;dr )

Annnd here is the second chapter of my original story, tentatively called Switch Eyes. Chapter 1 is over here for anyone who would missed it and would like to read from the beginning!

Chapter 3 will be posted on (or around) September 23. As always, any comments/critiques would be appreciated!

( Sitting here now, she understood more clearly than ever just how intimate this magic was supposed to be. It was meant to be performed out of love or generosity, not by force. Everything about this was wrong. )

So here is the first chapter of a new original story I've been working on, tentatively called Switch Eyes. It's gonna be a Young Adult fantasy/adventure series, probably a trilogy, though of course right now I'd just like to finish the first book ( Read more... )

*sigh* After I finish Chapter 12, I think I'm gonna have to put SoPHD on hiatus for a while to fully plan out the last few chapters. I thought I had it all planned out, but then I started changing things, so now I need to figure out all the details to avoid plotholes.

• 06:28:37: I wish my peak hours for writing weren't 4-7 AM. I can hardly get to sleep properly because ideas keep running through my head.

• 03:41:51: Taking a shower always helps get the creative juices flowing.
  
• 03:46:46: I think I should stop being such a perfectionist when I'm writing fanfiction. Most fanfic is just self-indulgent fluff anyway.
  
• 03:48:56: The problem is, when I first come up with an idea, I think it's awesome. But the next day, I would tend to be embarrassed by it ( Read more... )

Researching survival tips can be amusing if your characters happen to be not very bright, and also superhuman, and possessing iron stomachs. In a series that is entirely unrealistic in the first place ( Read more... )

How pathetic is it that I start crying while writing my own fanfic. D:
