Dead Inside update... 4/13... which is more like 4/12 to me

since you know I don't go to bed 'til three so it's not tomorrow yet. In my head. 'cause I haven't slept.

Just wanted to let you know, I've been doing a lot of brainstorming on this current chapter, because it's been giving me a few issues (I hate battle sequences. So much.)

So, I kind of still have 7.5/13 chapters written... but--

Actually. It's probably more like 7.9/13

Because this scene is going to turn into two chapters, and I technically have the first chapter (ch8 of this sequence) done, but I'm going to say 7.9 until I decide where the chapter split is and it's official that I've got eight chapters written

But things are going well, for the most part. Keep getting distracted and haven't spent every single hour of my day writing.

But

Brainstorming at the moment. And as soon as I have a good idea of what I'm doing, I'll turn my brainstorm into a chapter

Yeah

As I complained about on tumblr, I'm having trouble with the battle because I know the thing ends in stalemate, it's just I don't want to write the continuous attacking and avoiding on both ends that would make it seem like a stalemate before someone comes to the conclusion "we're getting nowhere"

I mean, I'm going to do that. I just didn't want to do that as of last night, and now I'm brainstorming so I know what the characters are thinking as their fighting because it's actually easier to write (and probably more interesting to read) if I have a character monologuing probably not the right term to themselves as their fighting and giving a commentary that's the word! on what's going on as their fighting

So

And I'm doing it for all three characters in this battle so I have a better idea of who attacks when and all that

Because it was proving to be very difficult to write it when I was only in one character's head

Like

It was terrible

Sorry I can't give you names of characters but spoilers so.

anyway I hope there are actually people reading these updates. Again, I'd suggest following me on tumblr to get very frequent updates, or frequent-for-the-most-part, but I know I reblog a lot of crap in between updates...

hmm

oh!

http://rarmaster.tumblr.com/tagged/updates-for-my-fic

I tag all updates for my fic, so you can just find updates that way. By clicking on that link. (Updates are now linked to on my "useful tags" page on tumblr, so if you lose this link, you'll hopefully know where to find it again)

Also

http://rarmaster.tumblr.com/tagged/random-thoughts-that-cross-my-mind-while-writing

Maybe you should check out that tag once in a while. It's basically me liveblogging my thoughts every night as I write, so you can check this tag out and see if I've gotten any writing done. Aha.

I'm going to now put this post under the "important stuff" label, so that you can find these links again. Hopefully.

I know you probably don't want to follow me on tumblr due to it being more personal than fic-centered, and it's not good for updates alone

But you can still check out those links/tags/pages and you'll get a hold of my posts that are fic-update related. So.

I also have a tumblr for my fic

http://rarmastersftpverse.tumblr.com/

original URL, no?

So you can follow that. It's more like a roleplay blog, where my characters post things, but I could start putting updates there, too? Idk. But I think it'd be fun to check out! And feel free to ask a character something, even anonymously! It's all cool!
