Thats all i ever wanted. #honestyhour #life #notwhereiwantedtobe #butimokaywithit
My writing career (or lack there of) in a nutshell.
Why does trying to get published have to be so hard? I wish I had inspirational words to follow that question but I have nothing but another rejection and chocolate pudding. It’s supposed to taste like an ice cream sandwich, it kinda does I guess?
Video game reviews yay! The PS3/XBOX/Handheld/Wii U and Wii should be my reviews. I wrote them over the summer and the website just went live, so yay! Here’s hoping to more writing opportunities in regards to things I love (video games) that actually pays well.
The Hunters
So I realized that I’ve talked about the joint series I have going on with my partner, but I haven’t said much about it. During NaNoWriMo we worked together on what will be the second book (we have seven planned), and in doing so we ended up going back to the first story and adding a lot more details.
I want to share a sort of synopsis of the story, maybe post a snippet if it’s something that sounds interesting to people. I want honest feedback, because this is something we want to be published.
Plot summary like thing under the cut, in one of the main character’s POV :)
My ramblings? They are random, you see. This is why I shouldn’t have a tumblr
Warnings: Random. Ramblings. Nanowrimo. My writing. Gay romance talk. Shortest Distance from A to B talk. Because I can’t stop thinking about it, man! But it’s mostly talks about my writing. Honest. Sort of?
Headcanon: In which Naoto Shirogane has an entirely different reason to keep her secret
OMG YOU GUYS A HEADCANON! Am I slipping back into fandom? WHO KNOWS!
So I had this thought today while I sat at my work desk, which is the best place to have fandom thoughts? What if Naoto had a completely different reason to keep up her secret? Yes yes, all of the canon reasons of course, but… what if Kanji Tatsumi – who seems to be attracted to boys – gave her one more?
Warnings: Worksafe, a mesh of game and anime moments, kinda an AU sort of(?), using the pronounhefor Naoto for a while, cuteness, confusion(?), me doing headcanons again(?) because it makes the angst of my actual story less… angsty?
Why writing is powerful
As I write this new work for nanowrimo, I realize to myself how powerful writing really is. Not only do you create this story, you create characters, locations, plots, and just… you’re creating something with your imagination, you’re breathing life into things and wanting people to experience the same feelings you feel as you create. Is your character nice? Mean? Tall? Short? Happy? Sad? You get to decide, you have control over this.
I realized this a while ago when working on my first story, and the joint story with my partner, but as I work on this new story for the first time I think writing has made me… uncomfortable. I’m creating this character who is, for lack of better words, an asshole. There’s things he says and things he does that make him un-redeemable in any way. Now I’ve watched things with asshole characters, played video games against them, even role-played them but… actually making one from my own thoughts? It’s shown me that writing can – and does – make you step out of your comfort zone, which is terribly hard to do.
I actually had to stop writing the scene he was in for a moment.
So yeah, writing is powerful, that is all :)
(I have no idea why I keep posting this stuff ^^;;;)
