Various Stuffs On Writing
I’ve been really proud of myself on the progress of my writing recently—not in terms of skill (I have so much to learn), but how I’ve been finally getting over so many fears I used to have. It’s been so relieving to finally stop letting all my ideas rot away in my head, and actually put them on paper.
Now, I know a lot of you guys are wondering if there will be a sequel for Glitch in the System—a few months back, I probably would had said yes. Now, I’ll still say yes, but it probably won’t be anytime soon. One of the major reasons is I really don’t want Glitch to be milked out or overused, if you know what I mean. We have a lot of random projects: a possible short comic series, a audiobook, stand alone short stories…I think it’s just wise to let it chill down a bit, then maybe later I’ll continue the series.
I do have good news, though. Aside from the common short stories I intend to show here, I actually have come up with a brand new epic idea that I’m contemplating on writing. What’s my possibly story? Not saying yet…but I am hopeful about it. It’s going to be in a completely different reality/setting than Glitch, and instead of a cyberpunk feel, I’m going back to a much more mysterious and fantasy genre. I’m looking forward to drafting some drawings of places/characters, and writing story info about it. I’ll definitely keep you posted on this.
Finally, I’ve been doing a lot of studying concerning writing. Writing is a bit harder to ‘learn’ about, unlike art, nevertheless, I’m curious (sorta a survey):
• When you pick up a book, what are you mainly looking for? What gains your attention?
• What are you favorite genres or writing styles?
• What types of things don’t you like in certain writings or styles?
• How picky are you concerning the originality of a certain story? Is it more about the portrayal and depth of the world/characters/setting that makes it interesting, or the overall plot and freshness?
I may have more questions…but those are the ones I could think of. If you have any important critique/points I should hear, feel free to say. This is important to me because, even though I want to write how I want to (and enjoy writing, above all else), I still think it’s always a good idea to be open minded and see what other opinions there are. So if you guys could spare to write up something quick (or long) it would be really appreciated. I’m currently backtracking and see if there is anything I should be focusing on more, or improving upon.
