Terra 25 published

Well the basic news is that the new chapter of Terra, Chapter 25, Terra’s Tears, has been published. You can see it here. It’s a different one. Theromen calls it more episodic, but I don’t know. I had tried to do something a little different with it, by changing, or shifting, perspectives more often in the story. It was necessary for this chapter, but it was different than what I had been doing really, so I don’t know how well it would up working. Feel free to let me know.

Beyond that I’m already hard at work on the next chapter of Terra. I resolved myself to not write a chapter of something else until I had gotten them to Mars. And I will finish that part of the story. It’s taken quite some time getting from there to here, as someone put it to me in chat, it took almost as much as a real trip to Mars would have. Well depending where Mars was relative to Earth. 

I think that the upcoming chapters will come a bit easier for me, really. I had planned out so much of the stuff that happened out on the ship to death, almost. I mean I have the whole outline of the story planned out, but I don’t think about it as in depth as what I’m doing next. I guess maybe a better way of saying it is that I’ve had a lot of time to think about it. I was working on so many different stories for so long, the Club Vanilla chapters, the whole theater arc was something, the What You Need stories, the Bang stories, and Thirteenth Hour, so much time for me to think. And the more that I thought about things, the more that it became stuff that I had worked on already, that my mind had felt good about it being done. So I wasn’t as interested in writing them.

But now I’m moving onto more interesting stuff, more original stuff. Things that I haven’t thought all the way about, to death. It’s pretty important really. The more that you like to write, the more that you’ll want to. That was also a major role, because there was so much about Terra that was hard for me to write. Things like Terra being yelled at, Terra being hurt, it wasn’t all that easy for me to work on all the time. The trip was meant to be unpleasant, and it was, to some degree. But as the old axiom goes, it’s always darkest before the light. So now we’re moving onto the light, and hopefully things will become easier to read, and enjoy. It’s becoming easier to write, that’s for sure. And things will look better, although there will be plenty of bleak points.

Okay, now that I got my lengthy rant done with, we can move onto what’s next. Besides the Terra chapter that I finished, I haven’t been doing a heck of a lot. Still lazy about the website. I haven’t worked on any of the editing projects that I had been, mostly because nobody is getting anything to me to beta. So I can’t do anything until I have something to work on.

Let’s see, there isn’t much else to be honest. I’m sick of cold weather, tomorrow is going to be 32 degrees and that seems warm. Work has gotten easier, by far, but the less hours is going to hurt. I just hope that I get my w2 so I can do my taxes early again this year. A month almost without caffeine or soda, well sprite doesn’t count really. Loving my new book, MABTW. 

S’all I got today.
