Lately, I keep getting distracted from fanfiction by my original story. It's stretching my inspiration pretty thin! That said, I've been picturing a lot of SasuHina scenes when I'm falling asleep in lectures, and that's usually a sign that another oneshot for Serendipity is looming on the horizon. Newer stories really hog the spotlight, don't they?

I also mapped out a bit more of Memento chapter 2, but no actual writing was done this week. Hope next week gives me something to work with. I had a NaruSaku drabble idea in my head... and then I went to uni and forgot what it was!

Melodrama

Number forty! I'm getting that cringing feeling when I think about earlier drabbles in this fic. Imagine my reaction when I read stuff I wrote in grade 4 XD

 

Progress meters fixed

I think they're updating properly now. Like I said though, you guys didn't miss out on much XD Precious People actually lost 100 words in the rewriting process. The good news though? After complete stalemate since the story has been published, I finally had a brief spurt of inspiration for Memento! I've been tentatively working on it in the past few days. Maybe this will get somewhere ;)

 

Can you see this?

I. Am so slow. I only just realised that the blog wasn't updating OTL I've been posting sporadic updates but it looks like you guys haven't been seeing them. I've fiddled around and hopefully things are working again. So let me know if you guys can see this post!

Honestly though, you haven't missed out on much XD The progress meters haven't been updating either (fixing those soon) but you'll probably find the numbers aren't that different. I've been doing more editing than writing. I am cooking up some drabbles though! There will probably be a few rapid drabble updates in the near future, to make up for the lack of life with the multichapter stories.

Sometimes I suddenly realise just how many ongoing stories I'm juggling and feel overwhelmed. It's pretty common for me to find myself opening the chapter for Precious People, sticking in two slow sentences, and then switch over to see if I'll have better luck with Halcyon Days. I think I'm reaching that point where I need to forcefully focus on just one story at a time, even though I want so badly to write for all of them. It's sad to admit that I don't feel as attached to fanfiction as I used to. So whoever is still hanging around - talk to me? Let me know which stories you like most. Prod and nag me when it looks like I've gone dead again. Just saying hi reminds me of the fanfiction world - real life is pretty intent on giving me no time to think about it. I've always written for myself, but the thought that people will read my crazy stories keeps me at it (the thought that I keep you guys waiting for updates makes me guilty though XD). As always, thanks for reading! :)

My break ended up being a lot busier than I thought it'd be. I was really looking forward to finishing a chapter for one of my stories, but if you've been watching the meters, you must've noticed that they haven't moved ==; Man, writing never used to be this hard! I sat down today and slowly added two sentences to Precious People... and that was as far as I got. Every time I try to work on my older stories, my attention always ends up going to the two drabble fics... or one of the many unpublished stories in the folder... or brainstorming an original story...

Sigh. I guess I always knew that older stories end up with the short straw in the long run, especially after leaving them for so long. It's hard to override your colourful new ideas with old ones. Still not giving up though! If I need to wait for sudden streaks of inspiration, then I will hunker down and do just that. At least the drabble fics kinda keep me in shape.

Only a few more days of break left... I hope that inspiration comes soon! Right now would be nice!
