So...
Blog Day 3
Three days in a row! I feel accomplished with just that small milestone. *laughs*
Main point = I'm writing again.
Short and sweet explanation (for long-winded Missy) = After so much frustration on my fics (mostly caused by wdmc) and my life turning into quite the roller coaster ride, I, simply, quit. Then I had this nagging idea for a new fic. I know, try finishing something first, right? So I started mapping this idea out and writing some tidbits. And then changed the whole idea. Into something I've never done (obviously HP...but Harry-centric. What???) and now I'm really excited about it. But. I refuse to post anything unless I have most, if not all, of this fic already written. And I'm really hoping that between the forced daily blogging and the fun writing on this fic, inspiration will hit and I'll be able to get back to wdmc and RtW. Because I'll be honest - I've had no desire (other than a want for the desire because I really really really hate to just have them sitting there, abandoned and unloved by me) to even attempt again. And I really want to finish both of those.
Ooo. Even thinking about it now...I'm excited to want to write them again. So. I'm back to that promise that they will be completed. Eventually. Hopefully, before the zombie apocolypse.
Full explanation = I'm not going to lie. I totally fell out of writing. Life changing events and keeping my head above water and figuring out what I want, who I am, and where I want to go, and well, just living it up, took total precedent over a lot of things I wished I hadn't ignored for so long. Writing near the top of that list. This new idea? I don't know if I'll pull it off. I don't know if it'll be good or even decent, who knows if I'll even ever post it, really. But, it's pulling me back in. I'm starting to remember all the smaller details of HP again (like seriously, I got so mad at myself the other night for not being able to remember the Quidditch position of chaser! How pathetic!) And I'm falling back into grammar and writing which is amazing. I need to focus and sharpen my mind, this old lady is ready to get back into school and grow up (well, not grow up, but you know, maybe act like it a little more often...). Basically, I took a loooong detour and found myself again. Still picking up and gathering some of the pieces, so this new fic (totally untitled as of yet, btw) is helping me do that. I am determined to complete this fic (or at least get to a point where it leads me to be done and move on to more important things such as...) and then completing What Dreams May Come. And after wdmc is done, I will return to Ride the Wind and complete that once and for all. RtW may need a massive rethinking...I have no idea where I was heading with that story beyond what had been written...
So. I did what I said I'd never do and that was abandon my works. And there's no need to even be upset with me because I'm sorry I ever did and wished I hadn't. But I now have a renewed determination to finish something I've started. Maybe I can move on to bigger accomplishments after this. Here's to hoping!
And please, all pushing, prodding, cookie persuasion and any other form of coercion is accepted. Happy thoughts, guilt trips and teasing threats are all welcome. Don't hurt my feelings, but please feel free to suport me!
So, cheers to writing and completing a writing project!
