I just update here when I'm procrastinating

So.
Yeah.
I haven't updated in over a year. That's okay? Right?
The status on my projects hasn't changed that much. I got a lot done for 'Z', however it's still first draft-y and honestly, looking at it makes me feel worn down.
I'm wondering where I went wrong. Maybe it had something to do with the fact I didn't plan it. I've always been the type of person who keeps calenders, multiple calenders in fact and tries to be organized*
However when it comes to writing, I might write a rough outline, and then jump straight into it and get to know the characters while I write.
This isn't easy for 'Z', I find the random characters that are in the story for a chapter more interesting than my main character, also I suspect that she's a psychopath because she can shrug off almost anything that happens to her.
''Oh I just saw my Bff get ripped apart by 50 seagulls... Cool, I'm hungry, let's go to McDonalds. Then I'll never talk about her again or show any emotion whatsoever :D''**

So, I need to work on her a bit, I decided to write about random stuff about her, stuff I wouldn't ask a real person, and I'm slowly discovering her and finding her, which is pretty good.

I'm still working on the collection of short stories, mainly writing then re-writing and then throwing it all away and starting again.

I'm hoping to write more soon.





* Who am I kidding, I'm never organized.

**Not actually what happens.

Short Stories

I've decided that while everything else I'm working on is kinda depressing for me since I'm nowhere near completion.
I'm going to do short stories, 1-2 a day. I found a theme list that was used a lot on a forum I frequent for artists. I'm going to adapt it to writing, it's a list of 100 themes, each theme is 1-2 words long.
I did the first one today and came to a horrible realisation.
Most of the short stories I've read recently have been creepy-pastas and it's painfully obvious.
This is something I need to improve.
So on Monday I'm going to the local library and finding some books!
I haven't been to the library for a while and I haven't been that good at reading books recently so it will be a challenge.
Wish me luck.
