This is so late and for that I apologize. I wanted to update you all on my posts and updates. I should've done this during the summer, but better late than never I suppose. This summer I was painfully busy, between volunteer work, visiting family, and trips with family and friends. By the time I stumbled upon any free time all I wanted to do was relax with some music and a good book or play video games to my heart's content (never much gaming time during the semester).
Again, I'm unbelievably busy at the moment. I am currently a member of the Writer's Association her on my campus. They are divided into separate branches and at the moment I am a member of three:
the Novelist Branch, the Story-telling (comic) Branch, and the Podcast Branch. Not to mention the regular group meetings where all the branches get together. Plus
the novelist branch ask that we post a 5 pg singled-spaced chapter every Wednesday along with reading and critiquing the chapters of your group members. It doesn't seem like much but it really, really is and it's certainly been a test of my skills. I love it, but still...
That's four meetings a week on top of the many meetings and events I have to volunteer at for my on-campus entertainment committee. I've also sent out resumes for jobs on campus so that may be a thing as well. We shall see. The point is I am up to my neck in on campus involvement and schoolwork. I'm a second semester junior, aiming to finish up three majors, and my senior year is on the horizon. I don't intend to stop posting here on DA, but as you can see it's been sporadic. Just so you all know, I do write for all my stories here on DA almost every day, but a paragraph a day divided between my many stories only adds up to so much, unfortunately. At the moment
I have some chapters for some stories and a spin-off series for one of my more popular series, but I don't intend to start uploading them until I'm at 8-10 chapters in. That way I can supply you all a steady flow of weekly updates. So hopefully you all can bear with me until then.
So here's the deal. If you all are interested,
I can upload my weekly chapter drafts here for you all to enjoy. I know a large majority of you only stick around for my fan works, but
this will mean an almost guaranteed chapter update every Wednesday on top of some poetry and short drabbles on Thursdays/Fridays/Saturdays depending. I love writing fan fiction and its been a great way to get to know you all, but I'm almost 21 and I think it's definitely time to start honing my skills in regards to my own works too.
I want to personally thank everyone for their supportive feedback and positive critiques. It really helps keep me motivated to see all those comments. I also want to thank you all for the patience you've shown me as well. I was 18 when I started this account and I've found 907 people who think the things I write are worth some attention. So thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you. I can't say thank you enough. I feel like I've improved a lot since joining and I can only hope time better improves my skills.Sorry for rambling and my feelings won't be hurt if you just skimmed.
Anyhow,
leave a comment below for what you think about me posting original works or if you just have some ideas of things I can do so you all don't go months at a time without some content.
