I posted this on my other world...but I don't think anyone actually reads my other world...so I'll put it here, too.
I find it interesting that when I'm really gung-ho about one project something compeletly new comes in and sweeps me off my feet. So, here's the deal: I was originally planning on tweaking my 80+ page epic 'The Broken Music'. I wanted to make it more coherent in parts. It switches perspectives a lot. Like you're walking along the road with one character and they happen to look down a random alley and see a 'shadow' that is another character so the story then is told by what that new character sees. It's not very coherent but I liked it that way. It's confusing in some parts--a lot of the character's back stories has remained unwritten; because I've never really had a place to put them. So it makes sense to me, and my sister likes it; but, I've told her almost everyone's back story so she knows what's going on... But, I beg the question would it make sense to anyone else?
I ask this because another project has now sucked out my soul. I'm writting something entirely different from TBM [new characters and everything!] and it's a lot better than TBM. I'm not sure if I'll ever post this new story. Because some crazy part of me fantasizes about someday getting this new story published. TBM was never intended to be published. It was just written about one specific year in my characters' lives. Some people showed interest in TBM, and I was flattered, so I don't want to disappoint... I'm still willing to post it here. I'd love to get feedback on it. I started writing it as a short story [to go along with the crap-load of other short stories I've written about these poor characters] and it got way out of hand. I wanted so badly to tell their stories, so I just wrote it.
Now here's the deal: I'll post it. Even if one person shows interest in it; I'll post it. Unfortunately it probably won't be very coherent and it's crappily edited. So do you still want to read it? I'm sorry that I won't be working on it much now....but, I hope you'll forgive my laziness and still want to read it!
