Busy Bee Writing Fanfic

25/02/2023

Sigh.

So this week I wrote 9k words of Cedar Falls fanfic. :D

A lot of it is fluff and filler, but there are parts I’m proud of! I had lots of fun writing out fight scenes, and I’m regularly reminded that I actually really like writing horror. I have learned that I really like body horror, despite it being a common theme in my writing for years. It’s so fun and fucked up. 

I would really like to polish this up like I did with Millstone, and cut it down from… 9k and counting. There’s a lot to like about it, I think. While writing, I often go back and skim older parts and I am actually keen to go and edit it now that I have a clearer view of what I would want to change. I have a better grasp on how I can improve it and make the horror clearer and more impactful to the reader which is neat and cool. It’s felt so good to write again, I miss having this energy and this desire, I hope that one day I can actually get this feeling from writing something I come up with, but for now this is something I guess.

I have started another project while I work on this. I am hopeful towards this project and think that it will be super fun to write and actually finish. (:< I hope to share more details about that as I actually start it. 

For now, I thought a small update would be good. I’m still here, I’ve got projects I’m working on. Hopefully I’ll have something to show for these blog posts soon!
