Weekly rambling
🕑 Added 2022-06-13 09:39:55 +0000 UTCAnother good writing week. Yay!
I've felt really inspired and excited about the whole Samhain stuff. New plot threads emerged and all that jam. There's a new Celtic god in town. 👀 You can cheat the Twins! Hehe. I also came up with a new stat that will help with the relationships. There's a 'trust' meter. It makes sense, there's a lot of manipulation going on and all. Then, there's the sexual attraction meter, most likely. That's how I will probably juggle between different relationship types. That's the best type of coding system I came up with for this story. I will still have to sit on it, though.
I've been informed that people apparently can feel "cheated" if the author retcons something in their WIP. I laughed. I'm so chaotic with my writing that I've already changed Quinn's whole appearance (twice!), I will delete the whole non-believer option for the MC because it makes no sense after I wrote a ritual scene in Samhain etc. etc. There's so much stuff that will be altered. It's really common in writing, there's a lot of edits, some things go poof and some things will be added. That's just how it is.
This whole rambling posting is actually quite interesting to me. You get to see my creative process. I'm still new to this, myself. I've written a thesis, for sure, but it's not this big. Nor was the Love and Duty novella. They helped, sure, but this is... quite something. But I really like the process, all in all. I think the most difficult part is to remember every kind of MC there is. I don't have a clear "if you're high in this stat, you'll say this" system, I just basically wing everything when I'm writing. What feels good for the flow of things, then I forget to get back to it and write the other MCs. At least I know that's something I could improve on.
Also, I just remembered that I've been talking about the Discord server for a while now. I will, er, get on with it.
I hope you have a wonderful new week ahead! Stay safe, stay awesome, you rock!
