The Next Move..

I started my fanfic on May 5th, 2022, and finished my fanfic in August of 2023.

It was an emotional time and I was very proud of my work. After all, it meant a lot to me. It still does. Like, writing has become something so important and special to me, so how could I not treasure it?

My readers were there with me the whole time, and I had a proper ending with them and send off. I still reread their comments, shaking my head with a smile crossing my face. Those fellas mean a lot to me. After all, once again, their words mean the world, show me that people can love what I do, that I’m actually creating something great.

Heck, hahaha, every single time I got a new comment, I read it to my Mom! She was there cheering for me and laughing and smiling all along! I love her so dearly.

Now, I had something new to do. Freedom. I wrote all that I wanted there, but now, what else was there to write?

I took a break. A month or two. I obviously wanted to keep writing, because now it was a part of me, a hobby. I mean after all, I always wanted to keep posting for my readers, so I kept to the routine and stayed consistent. Ah, that’s right, I forgot to mention. My consistency is what really benefitted me in the end. If it weren’t for it, well, I might’ve never been here writing this blog.

Pinterest was my ultimate best friend. I began saving pins to create a new story, maybe a bit similar in concept to my fanfic, but something newer, something that could be my own.

It started brewing, I started getting really excited.

I was also in school, so I focused on that as well, but I just kept brainstorming. I think at that time though, I spent most of it watching random stuff and playing video games. Can’t say for sure, but I definitely wasn’t writing much.

Nearly about October, I had a concept of an idea. My main cast. Yin, Eric, Kyle, Krow. Sol and Kali. I had them on my Pinterest board, heck, I even drew them, even though I could NOT draw boys yet. Not well anyway.

And, of course, it was really corny. I actually had a lot of trouble beginning it, unlike my fanfic. For some reason beginnings are the hardest, like, you don’t know what you want, what will be best to capture people’s attention, if it even sounds good or is the best place to start. It’s admittedly the hardest and most annoyingest thing about writing yet.

Well, for the most part. But it’s nothing that’s ever stopped me. The mindset is: write something for the first chapter, and branch it off from there. Then I can just go edit it later.

That’s the next move.
