Lueanna's rambles

While I'm alive and typing, progress is a tad slow. I just about finished 1 chap which is great. I think I'll hold for a batch again. I think the next batch will include the finally after all. (I'd expect 1-2 months maybe)

Ignore my chaotic upload...

Couple random thoughts from random points

New parts:

I love new parts! There’s something relieving about having a reset. Lot of the world building resets, so I can just spit out whatever. Figuring worldbuilding out is my happy place too. I write much better when I’m still figuring things out (though it’s harder to decide the plot.) Somehow it just makes things so much less stressful.

Unfortunately, it inevitably provides the conflict of not knowing where the story is going anymore. I find worldbuilding, themes, and mechanics are nearly impossible to put into a story. It’s so easy and fun to figure it all out, but words? Ha! Nope! It’s so hard finding a starting place or even a coherent plot to thread everything together.

Doubts:

I made a few...questionable choices. Maybe for storytelling in general and for my capability to tell it. Unfortunately, keeping has never been in doubt. I'll share more in 3 chaps.

Challenges:

I set out to emphasis a bit more of the loop's worldbuilding in a meaningfil way. Tried adding a 'mystery.' Tried adding religous tones to Sky's pov. Of which I have no experience. Struggled coming up with scenes to come before ___, and I sadly need those scenes.

This week:

Anyway I took a break for a few days this week. I felt really guilty about it, but I think it did me some good. I feel a lot less pressured about what I'm writing. Plus, it's let me detach just enough that I'm spitballing (which is my more creative state). It's probably not the most coherent or well written, but it's coming out again, and I like to think it's at least interesting.
