Editing
Still climbing the editing mountain
with regards to AtO. I've found some plot point being repeated in
various chapters so that needs sorting.
Most amusing typo that I found recently
was the 'toast' sage. I'm not ashamed to say that I took a few
minutes to imagine how a toast sage would work in the Naruto
universe.
And then I wondered about cake sages.
Yes, the editing for AtO is slowly
driving me a bit crazy.
But strangely enough, I've also been
editing a 'Fairy Tail' fanfiction that is much shorter than my AtO
draft. I'm hoping that editing between the two keeps me from getting
too frustrated with either project.
Writing
I didn't plan to do any new writing
this month. Just the re-writing that comes with editing.
But I couldn't help it.
I've been in a Fairy Tail sort of mood
with so many new plot bunnies. I absently wrote out one of the ideas
to get it out of the way and go back to editing.
But before I knew it I had more than
25,000 words in a very short time.
I don't know if it'll ever be uploaded
like a lot of other stories I've written over the years. But it's
nice to know that I'm getting faster with my writing.
Reading
On a reading front, I've actually not
read a whole of fanfiction so far this month. I've just bookmarked
things instead of actually reading.
Instead I've been reading some more
creepy/unnerving/horror-esque writing on the “No Sleep” reddit.
Not my usual reading material but it's kind of refreshing.
The series/stories I've really liked on
there so far are:
- Dad
wears a Muslim amulet - but we're Catholic (has ghost/paranormal
stuff but also tugs at your emotions)
- I'm
a Search and Rescue Officer for the US Forest Service, I have some
stories to tell (has creepy forest happenings)
- I
Dared My Best Friend to Ruin My Life - He's Succeeding (has
creepy person. No paranormal stuff. More of a thriller)
I haven't linked anything too scary but
obviously read at your own risk. There are tons of other well written ones on
there that really mess with you.
Anyway, that's all for now.
