Starting Another Project! I started another project, which doesn't have a title yet and is really bugging me, and for once I don't feel stressed about it. With the past books that I have written, I have felt really stressed about them and how I was going to get them to where they needed to go but with this one...I feel fine. I started writing this one a few weeks ago and although I haven't even finished the first chapter yet, I feel like this is going to be my best piece yet. With all my other works I have stressed over them and messed up a lot of plot points because they seemed dumb, but not with this one. There is a plan I actual have with this book that I am probably going to follow pretty closely. This is also the first book I have written that I have planned out EVERY BOOK! For all of my other works I have not planned out what I want to happen in the other books, I just know there will be other books. With this one I have the plan for four books and it makes me feel happy. There's also the fact that usually when I write I do this: But with my currently untitled work isn't like that at all and it's really weird. I actually know what I want to do--most of the time. With The Eye of Azul I would just put random paragraphs in because I wanted to the chapters to be longer but with Untitled I don't feel the need to do that.
Once I finish the first chapter of Untitled I will probably put it up on Wattpad and Fictionpress so be sure to follow me on those so you can read it! It's Finally Finished: The Eye of Azul
Alright. Writing this novel almost took my head off. Seriously, I felt like I was going to die right around chapter ten (a chapter where Alaric learns something interesting about his best friend). I started editing a few days ago and I realized that around chapter 9-10 is were I started to slip up so I still need to do that back up.
I don't know why but I felt really stressed when I started to get close to the end of the novel. I actually felt like my heart was going to explode as I finished off the book--even now I feel really weird about the book being finished. I'm not sure why I feel this way because I have finished writing projects before and never felt like this but now...well, I feel like I'm going to explode.
Either way, I finished my first 80,000 plus novel and I am so happy about it. I have posted the first two chapters of the story on Wattpad (link is on the side) if you want to read it. Be sure to leave a comment and tell me what you think of it because I want to know. ~Kasey
This is the writing section of Imnotchaos. In this post I am just going to be telling you about my writing experience and how I got into writing.
Actually, it didn't begin that long ago. I started writing after reading my first real chapter book, The Vampire Stalker, in grade eight. After reading that book I realized that I wanted to try and write my own novel...and I did, but we don't speak of it anymore. It was bad...really, really bad. That was the first time I really sat down and started to write a 60K book but I did write tiny picture books when I was younger. When I was bored I would take scraps of paper and make up stupid stories about other worlds...the only thing worse then the writing in those books were the pictures--I am NOT an artist of any means.
The first book that I tried to write in 2012 was an urban fantasy type book with magic users and a few people that went crazy. That storyline I still have floating around in the back of my mind but the actual written story is long gone. It was horrible and I had no idea what I was doing. I may have thought I knew what I was doing back then but...haha, no. I looked over that horrible draft about a year ago and felt like burning my computer. Thankfully, I have gotten a lot better since then. Since 2012, I have been writing and rewriting different stories. I do this thing where I get close to finishing the novel draft and then I panic, feel it is horrible, and then delete it. Yea, I am kind of stupid. It's just a fear that lurks in the back of my brain and I need to get over it. Although I loved writing sometimes I feel like this:
Writing some days comes to me and I can write 4000 words in three hours but other days I can only finish 250 words in a whole day. On the days that I only write 250 words, I feel like writing is the hardest thing in the world.
Thanks for reading! If you want to read any of my works I will be publishing them soon on wattpad, and I have half of a story up on Fictionpress right now (under the username imnotchaos) so please check those out and tell me what you think of them. Maybe some praise or criticism will help me not want to delete the story every time I almost finish it.
