Troubles have arisen! D:

Wed Aug 26, 2009, 8:48 PM
This entry is a bit impulsive...normally I'd think before posting something like this. But...I feel like I need to say it (I'll have time to regret it later).

This is the second time this has happened...I've come up with a better, more solid idea of what I want LunarEclipse to be. Oh, God, why now?
Some of you may not know this but the version of Lunar Eclipse you read now is actually the second (heavily revised) version of the original.

The very first version (posted only on fictionpress.com) was written when I was in tenth grade. And to be perfectly honest the only reason why I wrote it in the first place was because I was in a writing class (not at all school related).

The workshop consisted of three people: me, another student, and the teacher (the author of a pretty good book series [link] ). The assignment for the class was simple: write up a 5-7 page start of a fantasy novel. I ended up going with my long time project LunarEclipse (omitting any bl for obvious reasons). The class ended and I had one and a half chapters done and absolutely no idea where the story was going...I posted it on the internet anyway (with much persuasion from ~dead--poets--society/*phantom4muah :XD:). It was the worst thing I ever wrote, seriously. After each chapter I felt so drained and it all seemed so forced, I didn't like it at all. So after three or four chapters I scrapped it in favor of a newer, better (plot wise) version--the one you are reading now.

...

WOAH! Talk about a tangent! Sorry about that guys! Haha!

Where was I? Oh, yes...I'm suddenly developing a better version in my head. It's all thanks to a song, reading internet fiction (even fanfiction) that is significantly better, constantly picturing my characters in scenarios that are impossible in the current story line, and the fact some of my character's background stories and motives are rather superficial and Mary Sue-ish (it hurts a little to admit that haha ^^;).

I have good feelings about this new version. I really feel that I can develop the characters as well as move the plot along a lot better...

But fear not! I will not scrap the current story in favor of chasing after this new idea, for all I know it could be a fleeting whim of mine that will disappear when I wake up tomorrow (a lot of my old, undeveloped stories are like that). I'll keep updating this (a lot slower now that I'm starting college...sorry everyone!).

And as for the new idea, I will continue to toy with it, flesh it out, maybe write it, and see where it heads...If I like it better I might even post it. Who knows?

Hoo...this was so long. Haha! I never intended to tell the tale of that kick ass writing workshop. My apologies :XD:
But I thank you all for indulging me and my insecurities for the time being.

This is actually my second account on da. My other one ~ZestySama is for my drawings. This one is for my writing.
LunarEclipse is my first real attempt at writing (I try really hard with each chapter so updates are very slow).
It is a story that has vampires, mild to heavily implied homosexuality (you won't be getting any hard core smut from me, thank you), corse language every now and then, gore, angst, and all that good stuff :D
So with that said...you have been warned and I'll have no flames here. If you are uncomfortable with or don't believe in any of the things stated above then kindly leave, thank you :D


:bulletpurple:I am a novice writer doing this for fun.
:bulletpurple:I'm not very good at writing so constructive criticism would be very much appreciated
:bulletpurple:Before you ask: NO, I was not in anyway inspired to write LunarEclipse because of Twilight. I started writing this before I knew of that book's existence.
:bulletpurple:This wasn't inspired by Vampire Knight, either
:bulletpurple: Please, please, PLEASE stop asking when I will update. Why? Because I don't know when I will be done with the next chapter. I will update this when I am done writing it. Ok? That's all you need to know.
