Creativity

Just wanted to update this blog for some reason. Is that something that other bloggers go through? I also want to update the design for it; a different header or something.

In story news, I'm almost done finishing one chapter. It's another flashback chapter- the second one out of a planned seven --but it's just as long as the other flashback chapter. I'm not even finished and the word count is at least 19,000. When I finish this, I know that I'll be doing a lot of editing. Chances are, most of it is unnecessary details. Whenever I'm stuck writing, I just force myself to write and so it'll be a lot of rambling going on in that chapter. That's what the first version of The Poisoned Apple was like; lots of unnecessary details. I'm just hoping to finish the first draft at the end of November like I set for myself.

But, I don't feel forced to write the story as much as I used to. And I'm thinking of creative side projects for the story. I know an aspiring author probably shouldn't be entertaining the thought of their story being published, but I can't help it. Some of the project ideas I have for The Girl Who Ate the Poisoned Apple are a diorama illustrating some of the scenes-- stolen from Solane Crosley's idea for her first book --a teaser trailer, and a simple influence collage for the story. Not anything huge, but it makes me excited to finish the story.
