More random updates...
Apr. 28th, 2010 11:16 pmAbout to slip into bed, but before I did I thought I should keep you guys updated with stuff instead of giving you a blank screen these days. ^^
I hate spamming flists which is probably why I don't often do this, but hey, I guess it's about time to do so again. ^^
I'd like to thank you guys for all your patience so far. I really am touched that you still have The Beaon; My Siren in your mind, and knowing that has definitely helped give me a bit of a push along. I guess my main problem in recent weeks is that I'm currently half-way though an intense creative writing course at my university and every week we need to churn out writing. It kind of saps all of the creativity out of my mind and leaves me looking at a blank page in my fic writing book with a headache and urges to yawn. When I enrolled in the course I knew that it would interfere with my fic updates, but I knew I had to do it anyway in order to improve my own skills to write better chapters for you guys. It doesn't help that The Beacon; My Siren is a highly conceptual fanfic and even though once you finish reading the whole thing the plot may seem slighty straight forward, there are so many tiny details that need to go into each chapter in order for the big picture to be conveyed as well as I want it to be. I'm quite the perfectionist so it drives me nutttts when I think I've failed to write something small but important into the chapter, so it's like having to go through each sentence with a giant magnifying glass. Gosh, there is so much to think about whilst writing!! I hate focalisation, dammit!!! XDDD *whine whine whine* *slaps herself*
But yeh, aside from that rant, I think I'm ready to give the course the middle finger this week and try and shift most of my creativity onto the fic instead. It's about time my fic got some attention instead of annoying little creative writing exercises. :P
So hopefully if all goes well I might be able to get a new chapter out for you guys sooner rather than later. Don't expect it to be brilliant though, coz after attending this writing course I feel like there are these massive weights on my shoulders. It is so damn true when people say that the more you know, the more you realise how much you DON'T actually know, lol!! Don't you just hate that feeling that the things you write are utter shit unless you have a straight 24 hours to mold it properly? And lemme tell ya, my brain gets tired so early. Suckyyyy. *pouts*
Hope to see you guys again soon. ^___~ *hugs to everyone*
