An Author's Words

Warrior is complete, as a draft. So now I have to edit and proof everything and all that. Shame it came out shorter than I had hoped. Well, it's how it wrote itself anyway so I can't really complain. Except it drives me crazy that I have nothing to write now! After a near two years on the same project, it's hard to think of somthing else to work on. I really enjoyed working on Warrior and now I'm at a loss as to what to write now.

Warrior Update

I'm finally about to start chapter 10 of Warrior, my first real story that I think will prove to be worth all the hassle. It's shorter than I would have hoped, the chapters are really short, but I hope that won't be a problem.

I still have to go through the entire proofreading once I've finished. And I hope to get some feedback on the completed draft that I can make the appropriate edits and add what may need to be added. Then, maybe, I could get Warrior published! That, however, seems to be the hard part.

Published, that's my goal. But getting there, that'll be tough to achieve. It's a path I want to follow, and I'm prepared (hopefully) for whatever happens.

A Writer's Woes

Warrior, the one project I'm determined to follow through! And yet I'm not entirely satisfied with it. It seems short, and I don't know what to do about that....Most of the chapters are 1-3 pages, and I'm on chapter 7 (typing) and chapter 8 (handwritten). How do I expect this to be the novel I want it to become? I may have to just create a collection of short stories with specialized traits if this keeps up. Honesly, I thought it would be much longer....I can't help but to be disapointed with myself for coming up short (it's how I see it). I know that the story is good, I have had...well...a tiny bit of feedback. Which isn't encouraging at all!

What to do, what to do....How do I get it out for people to see when I'm afraid it'll be taken from me and skewed to something else and then it won't be my daughter anymore....(Yes, yes, I'm weird...my works are my babies....I can't help it!) But I want the feedback that I'm not getting from outside sources....I just want to know what I can add and what might need changing....

And there you have it...my rant. -Fia
