Re: The Celestial Way (...)

Finished Chapter 15 on Monday. Had to apply a giant placeholder at the highpoint of the chapter itself. Because I have no idea how to start a philosophical discussion from zero. Like, I can't figure out how to escalate things to get the dialog "in the zone" and make some important exposition be an ...

Туй го бях пльокнала в грешната тема и ме домързя да го местя по каналния ред, тъй че го изтрих оттам и го слагам тук.

Re: Редакторска работилница, февруари+ 2014

В сериозна чуденка съм дали началният диалог не е твърде дълъг. Т.е. те само плямпат, без нищо да се случва или дори описва. Има ли акроним, който е обратното на ОПС, т.е. “набутай малко background/world building/action/plain old description между всичките тия реплики? Или това е ЕКО, доколкото сцен ...

Feeling kinda low on motivation again. :| Got sick for the second time within a month. Combo was lack of sleep + mountain trip (volatile weather) + trpg session the next day (lots of talking since GM) . The result - brutal coughing fits + yet more lack of sleep. Combine with a cooler weather in ...

The rest of this post's content is to circumvent this forum's anti-shortness policy. Chapter 25 should finally clear the last remaining headaches ...

Моето предложение: "Уважавай първата си чернова! Тя е твоя рожба, пък дори да е малко некоординирана и рошава. Не изхвърляй детето си на боклука.[...]"

Смисъла се запазва, изразът става една идея по-"нашенски". Поне така мисля.

Re: The Celestial Way (...)

So yesterday (or rather, very early this morning) I finally completed PART II. The Fifth Interlude surprised me a bit both in terms of length and narrative direction. I ended up incorporating some chunks from main antagonist's backstory file almost wholesale, but they sounded very appropriate and ...

Re: The Celestial Way (...)

I decided to drop the current sub-title to The Celestial Way *. It simply doesn't mesh anymore with the story that's shaping up to this moment. Sure, there's war, and it's pretty terrible, and also the motivation of the main antagonist is to achieve a higher state of existence for him and for ...

Dammit. Remember kids, whenever you think it's gonna be smooth sailing from now on, there's always an armada behind the horizon waiting to blast your tiny sailboat via orbital bombardment. In my case, I thought, "Gee, my life is finally getting somewhere", and suddenly it wasn't. If this unending ...

Re: The Celestial Way (...)

Chapter 19 is done. I also plugged the dangling scene in Chapter 18, although its bits are still floating in only semi-coherent manner. Both chapters turned out a little shaky, but that shouldn't be a problem if the next couple of chapters come out solid enough. The good news is the story and ...

Re: The Celestial Way (...)

So, after a very stilted, frustratingly nerve-wracking start-stop manner of intermittent writing, Chapter 20 is finally complete. Hmph, "Clearing Ways" indeed. At least, I think my writer's block is finally over. Six more chapters, three interludes, and one epilogue to go! Also, I've been actually ...

Re: Люба Добрева: Обетът (част 1) // Нощната пеперуда (част

При мен със "Звездният път" имаше един подобен период през септември 2018-а - бях изпаднал в поредния шок "Ой, т'ва никога не ще го напиша" (както се вижда в другата тема :D ) и след разговор с Кал, който ме надъха да не се отказвам, реших да си дам почивка от книгата и вместо това да рехабилитирам ...

Sixth Interlude and Chapter 21 are done. From this point on, everything starts to ramp up toward the final showdown - even though there's still a few key philosophical and character-defining points be made even in the midst of the action. :) Five chapters, two interludes, and one epilogue remaining ...

Re: The Celestial Way (...)

A lot happened in the past 96 hours. To say it in terse terms, MAJOR LIFE STUFF affected my motivation and desire to work on the book. I was falling "behind schedule" in terms of the internal quotas I'd set in my mind, so to speak. So, yesterday I decided to compensate in an unorthodox way: by ...

Re: The Celestial Way (...)

Finished Chapter 22. I wasn't entirely satisfied how the climax - the great battle at Kryoon City - turned out; it felt forced and uneven in some parts to me. It's probably going to be one of the major scenes I'll have to rewrite at a later date. But, as Dan said, I'll count my victories and pat ...

So, it seems the problem with making inroads with Part IV isn't exactly writer's fatigue - it more like writer's blindness. I mean, I know the macro-structure of Part IV, but actually... that's about it. I know stuff like "now This is supposed to happen, then This, then That, and after That, follows ...
