So, not remotely near finishing even an outline, but my brain dances around different details and sometimes one keeps my focus and it becomes hard to think around it...almost like having a headache and your trying to do long division...or your taxes o_O
Anyway, recently my brain has decided to...
hah, not saying i don't nitpick...espcially spelling mistakes!! Isn't that what proof readers and editors are for???
JK, no one is prefect, right? <----;)
actually yes, it makes total sense. It's kind of sad though, like losing the magic of Christmas that we all have as a child when we get older...I'm not sure I'm ready to lose the reader in me...just yet.
I can't give any input as a writer, but as someone who reads a lot, I don't mind not having all the backstory from the first chapter. If the story is intriguing, then I keep reading and think Oh, I wonder who this character is or what happened to lead to these decisions, etc. On another note, I...
I've just been browsing some forums, and I would love to know if you have progressed or completed this brainstorm? What direction did you take for the relationship??

this was a concern that crossed my mind. what if someone from the country or city I decide on reads it and the first ting they might think is wtf is all this garbage? that isn't true or it doesn't exist. lol oooops
So the setting I was thinking in my head was actually somewhere in Japan, as martial arts was going to be a strong thread of the story. But my issue is that I have never been to Japan, nor do I have extensive knowledge of different martial arts lol. Ask me why I would pick things I know nothing...
I was reading something and it did mention about how different your first and last drafts will be from each other! I'm not surprised by that at all.
thanks for the pointers!!
