It's me, again
Friday, August 14, 2009

Okay, so shockingly, I am really liking this whole blog thing. Mainly because I can just write down what I am thinking. Which is, of course, about my fanfics.

Yesterday, I mentioned my dilemma about them. Today, there was some feedback on the latest installment. Which is good, since that's what I want. The trouble is, it's not really constructive. To me it just seems as if theirs an underlining message. I don't know. It's not positive, but it's not negative.

I'm used to getting different types of feedback. This isn't the only one that I write stories for, even if it is more for my own amusement than for others. Still, I sort of like it when it's more clear what it is they're looking for.

Of course, you can't win them all. Someone will always have an opinion, which is great. What I mean to say is that it's impossible to please everyone, so might as well just please yourself. I guess I'm saying this more for myself than for anything. Especially since I highly doubt that anyone reads my stupid blogs.

Even if that is the case I will still leave my little thoughts here. Leaving a mark that I have visited.

Moving along, I did upload another chapter of the fanfic. Still debating on whether or not to switch. Except now it seems more like giving up on one story, than anything. I don't give up. I am a very determined person. So, even if the feedback is completely terrible I will continue the story, at least until my brain cells are completely overloaded with the other story.

Really quickly, I would like to give a shout out to BYTEMITE. I want thank you for leaving me both feedback on my fanfics and on blog. I do agree; I should start to put my brain cells at rest by writing what it is that's on my mind.

Funny thing. I posted this blog and went back to read the feedback again, and here I am editing the blog. See, I realized that it's not so cryptic as I thought, but that maybe it wasn't the feedback that I was expecting. Which just goes to teach me another lesson. Always expect the unexpected.

When I read the feedback again, I actually understood where they might have been coming from. I have flaw. Shocking, I know, just kidding. I'm flawed in the way that my brain goes a mile a minute and my thoughts scatter every which way that I feel I have to explain every single detail, as if it would be a complete mystery if I didn't.

My resolve is that I will try to make my fanfics a little more mysterious. Not going into EXTREME detail. Less is more as I once heard it. Don't know what it means, but hey it works. Again, just kidding, it's pretty self-explanatory.

Anyway, for all those, including BYTEMITE, that have left feedback, thanks for letting me know that at least someone spends a few minutes reading my pathetic attempts at something that was huge. At least in our lives.

Bytemite's not the only one. The thing to remember is that we're all learning, every single one of us. What works, what doesn't. What to leave in, what to take out. It's a learning curve, and we all get better from it.

So more power to your elbow! Or pen. Or fingers ...
