Finally Feeling Creative
I admit that I’ve been lazy this week. I’ve been reading manga non-stop (when I’m not working and such) and haven’t felt like writing. However, I notice that manga has been inspiring ideas out of me and last night, on a whim after reading a few, I started writing a new plot.
Right now, I’m ironing out the roles and back stories. It’s not the kind of story I’ve written before, though I’m sure a plot like it is probably out there (because not much hasn’t been done somewhere in some way), but as with all my stories, my plot is an original of my own, written entirely by me and I’m pretty happy with how the details are coming along. It’s nice to feel creative and excited for something IY-related since my enthusiasm for fanfic is so low these days.
It will also be my first multi-chapter offering exclusively available to the members of my site. You guys will be the first, and only, people who will be allowed to read it when I finally start posting it. \o/
I also have ideas for other small stories. They’re what I call “empty plots” that would warrant short reads of about 1-5 chapters. If you read manga, think in terms of Shoujo/Slice of Life manga that are one volume or less with simple plots.
There’s also this 100 prompt challenge I’m thinking of doing. But again, that would be exclusive to my site. I haven’t determined the word length yet, but I’m considering 1000 words or less per. So, it would really be like short oneshots. I may make them intertwine, I may not, but they’d be quick little reads posted between my serious updates.
What do you think? You can answer in the poll.
I should add that even if you choose something like, “I only want updates on current fiction”, you’re not guaranteed anything. It all depends on what I feel like doing. If I don’t think other things I may want to try will be well-received, I probably won’t bother doing them (since writing is such a chore now), but that doesn’t mean the stories I get hounded about -like The Neighbor- will be updated any the faster. I usually do other projects when I have block (it helps), but if I’m not doing anything when blocked, I simply won’t update rather than force myself like I used to. So, yeah, you still may wait months before whatever you’re religiously following sees an update.
