Today I actually feel like I have accomplished a lot in the past few days. I broke down bits of my FairyTailxHP story (with mini-essays) and ended up with a lot of questions that needed answering. The possibility of me finishing this story has gone up considerably.
As for my HpxKHR story- the newest manga chapter pushed me to keep the story on the shelf for a while. For now, I’ll consider it a good decision and leave it for another time.
Anyway, I also did something new. I read some articles that were written to help fiction-writers improve. There are tons of those online, obviously but I never really took the time to read them.
It's geared towards writers who are thinking of publishing and it gives good common-sense advise for fiction writing in general. The points- I'm pretty sure I'm guilty of a lot of those flaws, but at least now I'm a bit more aware.
This article made me re-read AtO's first chapter (It's really small, isn't it?). And suddenly I found myself editing/re-writing the entire chapter (which I will put online later it's on FFnet now.).
That in turn pumped me up to start writing a few snippets for chapter 13. (Don't celebrate- you should know by now, how agonizingly slow my writing process is.)
This list is actually one that encourages you to start writing and keep writing (The first tip is “write”). And I like it just for that. It doesn't make a big deal about grammar or anything like that.
As a writer, are there certain writer's blog/websites you follow to help you improve/motivate you to write more?
