I forgot a title.
Grane Day 2 is up in the short stories section. It’s ‘aight I guess.
Grane as a whole is meant to have very little dialogue and a whole lot of exposition. We Used to Be Someone is meant to have a whole lot of dialogue. Grane is going swimmingly and is probably competing with Chime for the best thing I’ve written. WUtBS is going not so well, and despite being the most personal project I’ve ever done and the large amount of my soul I pour into it, it’s one of the more poorly written things of my adult life. I guess this shows my strengths and weaknesses. That’s a pretty fuckin’ big weakness though. I don’t know what to do besides muscle through it and rewrite it until it goddamn works.
So that’s the next check-box on my to-do list. Revise “We Used to Be Someone” chapters 1 and 2 until I like them. Grane Day 3 will follow that. Depression has been killing me lately, and I’ve yet to fully get back into the writing daily groove I was in before last weekend when I took a trip down south to see my family. I think I’ll be able to get back into it though. The right amount of depression makes for good writing anyway.
But enough of that nonsense. I want to say few things about Grane. I think the world of Grane has great potential. I think it is fairly unique and I think a young female lead is even more unique for such a setting. I also think I suck and can’t do it justice, but I’m doing better than I thought I could. Not the worst is something to be proud of when you are me. Day 3 is going to explore who Grane is as a person, and I’m excited for it. I want to keep a lot about her vague and up to the reader, but I think she needs to be made a little bit more human for the rest of the story to work. Aptly enough the next part is called “Human.”
So that should work.
