Well, the forums we used to post in back in 2006 were hacked, and every new forum that was started, my friend and I just picked our stories from where we left off. I don't know about him (he's an organized guy, more than me at least), but the copies of my stories were lost forever. So I started my own forum, some people joined but it all came down to him and me. We had no enemies so our forums were never hacked, though we've had some spam bots now and again. If I were to post the stories I have there, they'd need some massive tweaking. And even so, nobody would understand because the first part is missing and gone for good. Only my friend knows the origins and all, so I never bothered to finish my first story and went straight to the second. Weird, huh?
Why would only they understand it? Was a very niche crossover or something?
There's definitely been improvement, and a lot of it. Anime and gaming have been long-time inspirations, and they were what encouraged me to write more. I really wish to show off my crossover stories, but sadly only an old friend of mine would understand them. So much has happened and let's just say they are not as orderly as I intended for them to be. >_>
I think most people feel that way when looking back on what they did first. Being able to recognize there is change and improvement is a good sign though.
Yeah. To be honest, though, my early writings looks like it was made by a five-year-old ._. I'll send it to you, then. I'm going to work now (running late) but I'll just see your answer tomorrow.
Because you say you've been writing for 5 years? Sure you can send me a PM. I am here to help.
Oh yeah. I've had plenty of those during my half a decade of writing. Hehe. I make myself sound like someone important when I'm not ._. Would it be okay if I sent a PM about something real quick? It's just an issue I always had, I just wanted to let someone know if that's okay.
It is not easy, but once you have a start it can keep going pretty well.
Right. It's just that there have been a lot of times where I feel like someone sapped the energy out of me. Especially after I post at my other forum (which is a ghost town....which is the main reason I don't even advertise it in here), I would feel like I just wanna lie down somewhere. x_x Hopefully I'll find my own routine eventually. Coming up with a decent script s hard, though.
Yeah, figuring out what works for you is important. It is best to keep trying to write even if you don't feel like it is going anywhere. It keeps you in the habit and eventually you'll get into a moment where it all comes out.
I will. Now it's just a matter of finding my own routine. I might go ahead and start writing the next story arc. Wouldn't want to leave everyone waiting for too long once the first eight chapters are posted. Though I'll later need to be able to balance that, WKC, work, and my online time x_x
Ah ok, well good luck with it either way. Keep at it!
I never really went back to it, honestly. I mean, I only went back to find the forum posts I wrote about the story and copied them and paste them here. I've been inactive there for quite a while, and it looks like it'll remain that way for now. x_x Not sure how often to post. I have six more chapters ready to go. Maybe I'll post two more and wait for a while before doing it again.
You put up another chapter. Keeping the forward momentum going! I think you said you posted this on your other forum you visit right? What sort of responses have you got if you did?
Heh, I understand. But if you ever change your mind, you know how to reach me People would always complain about how much the game and anime changed, but I actually love what they've done. Though I admit if they create anything after Xyz Monsters then I'll start to lose interest.
