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

Какви ги върша? Тази шеста глава ми отне очудващо много време. Все пак съм доволна от крайния резултат. И постигнах нещо, което не съм правила до сега - сцена от почти 3000 думи. Уау! Не съм се пънала, сама си се случи. :) Седма глава се пече. Междувремено написах два разказа за конкурси, започнах ед ...

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 ...

Joke aside, I am, indeed, highly surprised - given how I've been on a quest of sorts for the past three years to gather alphas, and had no luck to this point. Granted, my social contacts are quite low in number ...

Ей така вървят нещата... Седма и осма глава са готови. Колебая се за две от сцените в тях, мисля да се върна към тях в края на седмицата. https://i.pinimg.com/564x/ae/e5/c9/aee5c95a9e5462cf0e768788d7638b27.jpg https://i.pinimg.com/564x/68/57/45/685745edb481994cb818699933cb0b81.jpg https://i.pinimg.co ...

Re: The Celestial Way (...)

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 ...

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 ...

Re: The Celestial Way (...)

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 ...

Finished the Seventh Interlude. I kinda went ahead with this one, because while it follows after Chapter 23, when I started writing that chapter, I wrote the end of it first - and I just wanted to continue the tone that was set afterward. The reason I'm mentioning this as a separate entry is because ...

Не бях писала от 4 юни.

Scattershot approach Part II Struggled with slow progress on Chapter 24 for three days, so I went ahead and wrote the ending for a change of pace. Stress levels are very high at this point - I really wish this book just to finally end. Barely squeezing 1000-1300 words per day, out of nowhere there ...

Ето го и юлския Camp NaNo . Очаквах го с вълнение, не че имам особена причина за това. Но и след дългата писателска суша, отново пиша с вълнение и мерак, та може би заради това.

Cut out 600 words from Chapter 25, and placed them -- after slight alteration -- at the end of Chapter 24, because they were too bleak for a chapter that's titled "The Way of Love". Yep, you've read that right. While Chapter 24 and 25 are both supposed to be the "darkest hour" in the story, Chapter ...
