The fact that you keep working, that's the important thing. Hopefully, I'll have finished "Red" in the next week or so and can start Part 5.
I feel it will be beneficial for me to slow down, because my writing goal atm to improve quality to as close to professional as possible, then retracing my steps with the already drafted books as onerous as it sounds.
I still dream of finding an agent who would believe in me. Which means rewriting She Kills Elephants and Men again. But I can’t do it till I learn a few more things.
The warm reception I got on Tapas for Trapped is really helping with continuing to fight on, instead of throwing my hands up in surrender.
I get it. While I'm not looking to publish my series per say, I'd love to find an agent to have my work adapted for TV. I've been on the leaderboards for sci-fi since I started on Tapas, so that gives me hope to keep going. At least people are still reading it.
I'm using a different kind of tactic, for my writing/publishing
But I hope to selfpublish within a year or something.
(gotta belief in myself :p)
I haven’t written today (yet) but I got the first 500 down for my new chapter (which was written at midnight so I guess it counts for today). I didn’t make a proper outline so we’ll see how this goes. My goal is to get over 1k written today
Good luck!
@WolfUnderTheMoon89 fingers crossed for you!
@cherrystark that’s way beyond anything I can even hope for, so good luck!
The total is 12.6K, so not sure how it happened but I wrote 2K? Well, I will take it!
I was just really enjoying this chapter, and had finally arrived to the Big Reveal that adds magic to the story! Can’t wait to test it on my kiddo this weekend, but I will need to edit previous and this chapter to do that. Ouchie. The previous chapter ended up in 4 Tapas chapterettes. This one will be 2, I bet.
I think I need to start editing, but I also have to start building the large ‘lore and background’ chapter. Ouch!
I will probably interrupt it with Volya snapping once he learns a certain truth about his background, to ease the flow, then do the second load of the lore once he has a one-on-one with a secondary character to absorb the emotional impact.
Cry! haha, jk. I'd like to try and get between 500-1000 words done in my newest chapter and done some revisions.
I did about 1.1k yesterday. Struggled more than I should have but I got some inking progress done. (:
So hear you on revisions. I just pasted my yesterday's efforts in the Tapas draft, and yeah, 2 parts. So, I now have 6 parts that need to be edited backstage to prep this book for beta reading, and I am only good through Thursday on the Trapped by the mafia. Ouch!
Once trapped finished posting it will get a little easier, I think, but I dunno if I left myself enough of a breathing room with my projected release date.
1.1K is awesome!
Oh yeah! I only have myself covered for like a week. I was looking at one of my chapters the other day and I was like 
. It was good but it wasn't great. I had to remind myself that it was a transitional chapter and if I didn't have it, I'd through off the entire timeline for the piece.
I am so tempted to close "The Museum". I still want to keep writing adventures but it might need to go hiatus so I can create a new season for the sake of what little sanity I still have.
I have all my chapters, but I have to edit them, And I am not an enthusiastic editor. It takes me forever. 
Oh, well, such is life!
Such is the life we chose. Haha. I like to edit as I go or else I start to hate my work. I reworked my first story to death before I got brave enough to start posting it.
I prefer to edit the heck out of it before posting. Some new novels that are in a bad shape don't get any response, but the others do, yes. Still I believe firmly that the law is:
There are no drawbacks to good grammar and clear delivery.
Plus, soft Russian-themed werewolf BL is not exactly the bull's eye hit for demographics here (and, yes, I am worried), so I want it as perfect as possible.
What I find is easy is to write it how it would be on Wattpad and then either make the chapter a two-part update on Tapas or allow one chapter to become two chapters. I find that I'm able to keep my story together without adding anything to the original storyline. Some days it's just a short chapter but I feel like the story still needs to be how you originally intended it to be. And don't worry about word count. Because it's all how you want it to flow.
One of my readers told me that my angel-demon project idea was a lot like Lucifer, the movie. Which makes me glad I am writing my Cute werewolf story. Not that it is brimming with originality, but still.
Anyway, I am thinking to start slow today, editing the previous chapter, looking at the balance of dialogues between the three characters, maybe weaving in a few descriptions if it doesn’t slow getting to the main point.
I have been tormented by how the story ends—the quick glimpse of the doomed romance between two side-characters, then, echoing it, the resolution of the main romance, the Big Kiss thing... I like it, but wonder if it is a wrong thing to have a hetero side couple, even doomed, in a BL fiction.
(Sigh) I have a bad feeling it is going to fail, but eh, well, if it does, all the more reasons to stop writing, start editing.
