For hope I'd give my everything;

Chapter 30 : Step By Step Links: FFN ; AO3

This is not a drill. I’ve finally managed to update Vermilion! There’s a recap at the beginning of the chapter on AO3 and FFN because I’m sure most people have forgotten a good chunk of the story by now lol.

Hey everyone, Nyxako here!

I’m sorry for the radio silence. A lot of things were going on in my life (new job, moved, health stuff, broke up with my boyfriend of six years, moved again) but I’ve finally gotten to a place in my life where I’ve been able to write more often.

Which means: Yes, I WILL be updating Vermilion soon.

I’ve also been writing other things too, though, and I’ll be posting those along with new Vermilion chapters.

I’ve got another KakaSaku fic, some BNHA Kacchako fics, a Mystic Messenger fic planned for the future, and a few Dragon Age fics that I will be posting on my AO3 pseudo, ForbiddenOasis.

Gluttony - binging fic with no restraint

Sloth - lying around all day reading fic instead of the shit you should be doing

Wrath - the moment where you wanna scream when you get to the end of a WIP only to find it last updated in 2012

Envy - wishing you could write fic like that

Pride - the confidence that your fandom has the best fic

Chasity - reading genfic

Temperance - acknowledging that writers are real people and real life comes first

Charity - leaving comments

Diligence - sticking through long WIPs

Patience - never griping about unfinished/slow-to-update fics

Kindness - reccing fanfics to other people

Hello everyone, Nyxako here. I just wanted to make a short announcement to say that I’m alive! 

Things have been getting better and I’ve finally been able to find time to write, which of course means that Vermilion will be starting up again! I’m not sure when exactly it’ll be, but my goal right now is to be able to start posting again by October 31st (so Halloween for the people who celebrate it). 

I’m estimating that there should be 11 chapters left, so it’ll be a total of 40. I’ll try to write a short recap of everything that’s happened before I actually post the next chapter, and I’ll have it here on Tumblr–mostly because it feels weird to post it as a chapter on ao3 and ffn. 

(In addition, I’ve been working on another BNHA fic and I’ve started writing Dragon Age fic, but I refuse to post those until I’ve started up Vermilion again.)

I can think of two reasons for this problem:

1. You haven’t thought your idea through enough to start writing it. If you don’t have a clear enough idea of what the story is, you’ll find it really difficult to get it down on paper. Spend some more time thinking about it, outlining it, talking about it to other people. When you have a better picture in your head about what the story actually is, you’ll find it a lot easier to start.

2. You’re trying to start it in the wrong place. Either you need to write a later part of the story before you can be sure of what to write before it or you’re too preoccupied with background information that isn’t really necessary and is keeping you from diving into the action. I find it really helpful to just dive right in (in media res, if you want technical terms)
