A post updated every other Sunday discussing my current writing projects and any completed the prior two weeks.
Finished Projects: 3
Project: Story
Title: The Broken Rose
Genre: Paranormal Romance
Type: Fanfiction
Fandom: Final Fantasy VII
Length: Novel
Current Word Count: 252,087
Prior Word Count: 251,669

Progress: Prepping to post Chapter 24
I probably could’ve posted the next chapter prior to this update, but I want to do one more mini edit beforehand. I was also waiting to hear back from the artist on the picture I wanted to use, and it took me forever to think of a chapter title. I’m pretty happy with it, but it could still potentially change in the future. I’ll probably have it up before the end of the day.
Project: Story Audio Recording
Title: Northern Lights
Genre: Paranormal Romance
Type: Fanfiction
Length: Novel
Fandom: Final Fantasy VII
Status: Editing
Progress: Adding pictures for slideshow
I’m over 50 images at this point and a little over ten minutes. It’s been going pretty smoothly since I’m at the part where she goes to the church, and there are a shit ton of images of that especially with the Remake out and all. I ran into a bit of a snag because there’s a part where I’m thinking of a picture I’ve used before. Now, this isn’t technically an “issue.” I’ve already repeated an image, but I did it for a specific reason. I’m trying not to repeat unless I’m attempting to make a specific point (whatever visual point I could possibly make as a non-visual arts person ugh, I’m going to just apologize profusely when I post this lol), so I have three options. One, think of another image for the latest; think of another image for the older, or three, use the same image for both. I’m leaning towards the middle choice, since I think the image would better serve where I am now and I might already have another image for the prior. I left it last night to give myself a day to ruminate.
I’m trying to figure out ways to post this where I can just give people the password if they ask, because I know it’ll probably get flagged on YouTube for copyright stuff. I’m not making any money off of it, nor do I want to. I just want to share it, but it’s tricky when you’re pretty much using other artists’ stuff to showcase your own. What’s weird is I’ve seen people selling books of their fanfictions, but I believe they’re only charging for cost, though I think that can still get dicey. I’ll try to figure it out. Speaking of which I have thought about printing out more copies of Northern Lights and doing some for The Broken Rose (I did NL and gave it to a friend), but I’d have to see how much it would cost. It would be a fun project especially since my illustrator friend wants to do a picture for each chapter ♥
In Progress
- Game Reviews: Final Fantasy VI – I’m finally on the World of Ruin, which is taking less time to summarize as I knew it would. I’m hoping to be done with the summary soon so I can move on to the story analysis, but that’s going to take some organizing lol.
- Blogger Tags: A Sunshine Blogger Award from A Geeky Gal – More catching up on blogger tags with yet another Sunshine Blogger Award lol. You’d think I actually liked the sun with how many of these I get, but I appreciate everyone ♥
I’ve been thinking a lot about self-publishing my short story. I think that’s going to be my next project after I get The Broken Rose finished up and posted. I want to start work on my original novel after that, and I’m hoping I’ll be done TBR in time for that to be my NaNoWriMo project. I feel a bit disorganized right now, and I hate it lol. I have this fallacious idea that if I could just put everything in order/plan it out, my life will fall into place, but I can never quite manage to do that because life is messy. I think I could outline a game plan, buuuut it’s not like I haven’t done that before lol. Oh well, you have to keep your plans up to date with the times, so maybe another “WTF Am I Planning to Do Now” post wouldn’t be a bad idea.
