I think it's been right around a year? Ish? But yeah, now i feel like I can move on from that one so it's good. YES I LOVE TREASURE PLANET OMG AND YES THERE'S MERMAIDS/SIRENS IN IT ITS GONNA BE GOOD LIKE I HAVE ALL SORTS OF RESEARCH DONE FOR IT. Im in the beginning and like writing the background stuff, getting things rolling I just don't want to write so Im always like nah we don't need to write today. I want to get to the exciting things and write those
oh really? i thought it took longer??? hmm maybe it's just my old memory screwing up who knows. but that's awesome man.
LMFAO OH GOOD YOU KNOW IT XD [[i only just saw it like...2ish? months ago]] and DAMN.
WEll you oughtta have research I mean you know this type of story-telling pretty well.
god yes the "description" and "info" shit . i think it's why i dragged my feet for SO LONG on my first book cuz I have so mANY PARTS writen down for it that now they all gotta connect [scenes]. and it's like, in order to do that I gotta write the in-between stuff. and it's SO not fun. that and if something doesn't fit/work you gotta think "do i keep this scene or keep what happens in it but change that up and put it somewhere else?"
BORING AND FRUSTRATING AND SO FREAKING REPETITIVE AT TIMES!
i'm no better at action scenes [[how write action scenes?? i can't use movies cuz its //inaccurate and the thought of watching a TON of youtube videos is not that appealing and i got like 20 diff. meta posts saved on how to write action scenes and im too lazy to do that too]] but i find it more fun when the characters interact or i get to drop "info" in a scene or something. not going "okay now i gotta describe this, i need to write why he/she is doing this and i gotta get them from this place to another place" or figure out how these two scenes go-together. or how a chapter here can relate to another chapter. tedious. writing at times is fun, other times its like "i just want to sleep"
but yeah beginning stuff, i know that frustration. you wanna jump head-first into teh story but no you gotta lay-ground work and shit. some people love that stuff, but i hate it most of the time.
