Paint With Words

I’ve been doing some things lately I never do on stories. That, or they’re just out right new experiences.

First being the website I tried putting my story on. I’m really considering deleting my account. Not to say the site isn’t legit, but, well, let’s face it: if I’m gonna hang my butt out there like that, I may as well do it for a publishing company and not an internet site. No offense to indie musicians, but well, the indie thing works WAY better for music than it does books. Maybe books will catch up one day, but that day isn’t here yet and I’m not about to sit around and wait on it.

Secondly, interviewing Maesta Helene Bouchez. Talk about an honor/learning experience. I learned so much about how to conduct myself, what to look for, and how to pick it apart in that kind of setting. I’m glad I got to do it, at least for my own sake.

Lastly, I’ve recently started planning a story that was inspired by one of my fanfics. Now, give me a sec to explain. The original fanfic I wrote will be redone as a ‘normal’ story. The story itself is viable itself, even if just names are changed. That’s the main reason I’m going to do this. So he family has a history from the Mayflower up until Post-Berlin Wall Germany. I won’t go into details of the story, but what makes this so different for me is I never write out my plans for my stories. However, this one I’ve got to. At least a little. There’s so much historical stuff I need to read into at least some that I can’t just wing the plot. Even the story I have finished, I have some things to still work on, look up, and refine (the finished one is the post Berlin Wall one). So I’m really bending and challenging myself.

 So I hope that now that I’m on break from school, I can try to really get some work done and see what I can develop into.
