July News

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 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.
