Writing, Writing, Blah Blah

Chapter 3 Success:

I have to admit, I began to feel a bit disheartened after putting up Chapter 2. After days I'd only had about 50-60 views and I thought to myself, well success was nice while it lasted.

HOWEVER, Guess who's made a comeback?

ME! Chapter 2 went up to 88 views which is great although oddly Chapter 3 appears to be even more successful?! (I hope people are following the storyline although not complaining!) Chapter 3 has been up since Friday and I've had 123 views which is fabulous. I've still lost numbers from Chapter 1 which was 186 but it's only to be expected. Just to have at least 88 people who have dedicatedly followed the story, even with my making people wait is amazing. :)

Carrying on with the success theme, I had a poll at the end of Chapter 3 asking whether people still felt gripped by the story or whether they'd lost interest. WELL, 44 people voted including my boyfriend. He ticked the losing interest slightly box (grrr ! :P) BUT EVERYONE ELSE voted they were as gripped as they were at the beginning! So nice to hear it!

Chapter 4

Chapter 4 will be good. I've nearly finished writing it, ahead of schedule because it's the chapter where... well let's just say stuff happens shall we! I've had it in my head for a long time and it getting onto paper is a relief. The only issue I'm having is it's a bit small? So yeah, I'll spend the next few days til the deadline editing and tearing my hair out!

That's about it!

Huge thank you to the loyal fans. I'll keep blogspot posted, although i'm sure no one reads it. 

Chapter 3

Chapter 3 of Heaven's State has just gone up and I'm really very happy with it.

It contains an emotional scene dealing with the theme of homosexuality and I'm really quite proud of it. I've not written a scene quite like this before and I'm really hoping it's accurate. I'm quite shocked at myself as the latter part of the chapter I've written at 2am after a major suprise but then oddly enough most of my best work seems to happen at silly o clock.

It's like the concept that all the best ideas seem to happen in the bathroom. Hmm.

This writer's theory? I guess your just relaxed and this helps for scenes to just naturally flow out of your fingers. Woohey!

That's all, yet another short post but no one reads this crap anyway, I'm just trying to get into a good habbit.

Writing Updates

Heaven's State

Chapter 2 is now online. I reckon the whole thing will end up at 10-15 Chapters although this last Chapter hasn't done too well in terms of views. Unsure as to why but will keep going with it for now. I know where the story is going with this and I think if people give it a chance they will find themselves more interested perhaps?

Truth be told, I never expected to keep going with Heaven's State, particularly as I started it in first person which isn't something I normally do. However, it proved popular so I went for it.

Rose of Eden

This is on a temporary hiatus, I feel that people aren't as interested in this one so I'm concentrating on Heaven's State. However, I will do what I can to get back to it, depending.

That's about it on the writing front!

What's-a-happenin'

Wow this has to by my quickest ever update, but that brings me around to my first news:

I have finished college!!!

This means more time for all those things I SAY I'm gonna do but never get around to doing; such as updating here regularly and posting regularly to Buzzle.

Which means.. TA-DA-DA.. more stories!

Writing Update:

So whilst I intend to update both Rose of Eden and Heaven's State as regularly as I can, my focus has now shifted to Heaven's State which I currently feel more inspiration towards. Good thing I'm not a real author eh?

Also, the next parts are pending but will be up very shortly so do check my Buzzle for the latest. HOPEFULLY i'll be updating weekly now, that's the intention and now that I've lost an excuse I'll have to do it to save face!

Reliving My Childhood:

One of the stranger things about getting closer to University, is that Ive found myself accidentally going over childhood things. Take for example last weekend: Friday I went for a walk with the boyfriend, stopping at places I haven't been too for some good many years. That night we ended up watching an episode of X-Men, yeah as in the (totally retro) cartoon series! Very wierd as it was my favorite when I was in Junior School. Then the next day I suggested the boyfriend's family and myself pay a visit to Frensham ponds. It's about a 40 minute drive away but a lovely lovely lovely location. It's pretty much an inland beach, but with a giant pond (perfectly clean) instead of the sea. This is somewhere else I hadn't been for around 7 years. 

It's strange isn't it? How moving on can force you to face the past?

That's all for now

I really can't think what else I could say. Watch this space for more updates on my writing!
