some of you may know I started again to post my stories in novel form...but I've reached a point where I should be posting Liriodendron. The problem is... I just realized I casually planned many more chapters than I anticipated and now it would be too long for the short stories series. What should I do? Post it as a separate story? Just insert it there hoping it won't be more than 10 chapters? Forget the story as a whole and just write new ones?
I just realized I suck at short things...I always have too much to say
Merry Christmas guys... in 2018 I will finish up my series and try to be more regular with updates. i was kinda depressed and not much motivated but i want to finish Chloe and Oliver's story and see if I can have new projects. Meanwhile have a safe end of the year and be kid with others. If you don't celebrate christmas (like basically I do) just see it like few days to stay home and relax a bit and have some fun ♥ kisses
Art for sale!
So Inktober is done now and as always I'm left with all these small pieces that will be stuffed in some binder in my room, and no one will look at them again. I'm kinda happy with some of them so I'm selling them for basically half the price of a commission if not even less...the most elaborates there would be definitely more costly ^^
If anyone interested here is the fb album with all the scans: https://www.facebook.com/pg/gnagnaonniarts/photos/?tab=album&album_id=2126402890706815

I have a question...it would be nice if anyone took a minute of their time to reply...if I won't get any I guess I'll delete this. I wanted to know...is my story, or more precisely my stories, of any interest for you? Would it be different if I were to draw actual comics? Or it's just the storyline is not interesting at all? I'm realising less and less people are interested so maybe I should just keep the stories for myself...
Dunno guys, maybe I'm just not particularly energetic today and I see it all grey...
k bye
Heheh yeah, you can. :o]
The only way to carve a statue out of a stone block is carving. It's a slowly work, it needs time, more time than you think you actually need, but you can make a statue out of a stone block.
It's normal to feel things fading away, you want things now, for yesterday even, but we need to calm down and just make our work, our little ant work.
I would like to feel that things would not just fade away too, but it happen, from time to time...
But, well, I had begin writing seriously on 2012, I didn't expected to have any audience at all!
And, despite being shy and not confident, I get some! :oD
It didn't had ended the way I would like, some conflicts of writers about character's death and it was horrible...
I had talked with some writers through facebook and I liked them, but I guess being a beta reader of their book was the stupiest ideia I ever had. Xo/
Eventually, I had tried NaNoWriMo on november 2014, do you know about it?
It basically consists about a site that propose to you to write 50'000 words in one month! t's crazy! And, yep, it's way more easy to write if you forget to edit in that month and only write, write and write. I know that there are lots of writers that fail to finish it before the end f the month, but there are writers that get over 300'000 words.... There are writers that write 50'000 words in one day!
Well, I give it a try and, even having a huge family problem in the middle of the month, I did! I still didn't finished the story, but I did! I reach more than 50'000 words in one month! It was nice!
This book I'm writing right now have three volumes, I'm on the third, and it's taking forever to finish it!
And do you want to know how much words I will have written when finish it? About 500'000! XoD
It's crazy! Xo]
It's taking more than two years to do it! otz
With about a year without writing a single word.... OTL
I didn't edit it and I need to look at lots of inconsistencies, but I will have a whole manuscript at the end! Xo]
Argh... just thinking about all the work I still need to do... @x@
But I liked what I writed the most! @u@)b
Maybe getting the attention you want will be difficult, it may take years to have some, but, if this is what you want, I guess its not that difficult... it's worth it.
Focus on a story can be difficult as well, the characters are supposed to do this, but they ending doing that or something you had not even planned!
Well, I like them doing part of the work for me, I know that they are alive! XoD
If anything come out well in the end, if people hate the story and all, I'm not thinking about it... I guess you can see for how long my comments are that I will ending writing it no matter what. :o]
And, by the way, I want you to remenber one little thing about making your story: Do you know the most successfully writer in the world? (Well it can have others who write about other things, but just think about fiction and fantasy)
J.K. Rowling was the first writer to be billionaire and, believe it or not, 12 publishers had rejected Harry Potter before it could be published!
Life is crazy as hell...
So, keep your hard work if this is what you want, but don't get so hard on yourself, life will be hard once in a while no matter what. Eventually, you will look at what you have done and just smile: you can do it. :o]
now that the depressing wave has left i sound like a whiny bitch in this post and yet you still replied to me and used your time. Thank you. You know I've written so much before like my longest story is 498610 words, and it a fanfiction but still a story I created, and I think it had taken me a year or so but it was nice to write freely every day...then i suddenly got stuck and couldn't write anything anymore. Now it's very hard for me to write because I'd love to improve my art too, somehow I would want to draw and write as a job but I'm lacking so much and at days I end up wonder if maybe I'm wasting my time having a dream i shouldn't. This is why I feel like if no one is interested maybe i did something wrong. i've seen so many banal stories being applauded and great ones ignored... mine that aren't great are mostly ignored and it makes me sad not knowing what I could do improve. The fact is I can't just write I want to share it with others when I write, it's a need if I do something I feel it's a pity to keep it for myself. I did it in the past (10 years ago) wrote two horrible novels that no one ever read and i always feel sad for them because no one ever will but when i was a teen I used to like those stories...
Congrats on doing that challenge with your writing i think I wouldn't be able to write that much not now... in the past, it was like 13000 words a day easily, but now...maybe I'm not in a good place mentally...who knows...I just hope I'll find my way into writing comfortably again because I have many stories I left halfway or even just as notes and I feel bad for those characters XD
Probably there are things that can inspire you to keep going.
I have a few that I know it helps me.
I love comics, more than books, i don't know why.
Sometimes, when I'm not in the mood to write, I watch some anime - watching Tokyo Ghoul at the moment - and then their story normally makes me feel it.
And, whats end up being the most important: music. It's not music to relax, it's music that normally makes me sing with it, makes me feel it. And I keep hearing it over and over again, 'til I don't feel anything more.
I found a new one recently and, god, I am hearing it right now!
It talks about the perfection of the childhood - when it's normal, with your parents protection and all - and when we grow up we realize that we want to begin again, 'cause a bruised knee hurts way less than a broken heart.
And, yeah, not being able to write confortably is the worse! Xo[
I could write something on paper on the last year, but I refused to write anything if wasn't in my own notebook... I swear I would get crazy if I couldn't do anything! DoX
And I ended up cooking some recipes I never had done before! :oD
I always said to my mom, "I need to do this!" while making a simple cake. Unfortunately the oven broken, it was pretty old and I can't make anything there lately... Xo[
At least I'm writing and... I should be sleeping... I tried to sleep, but the scene had come at me and... Well, more 2'000 words! XoB
Hope you find a way to get more inspired and confortable... and don't think you was I whiny bitch just because of this... You should look at what I have writed when I get sad... Geez, I'm such a horrible person, am i? XoB
I always write to feel better, to put it outside and let it go... thats works for me. :o]
