I see. For me I don’t really outline. I have the ending in mind and I know what is suppose to happen in the next few chapters but nothing beyond that (Like I said, I’m writing by faith). Tying everything together in the climax is going to be tough but I just need to get myself more motivated to actually write first before worrying about that.
Yes, Part 2 is completed. I’m putting up every three chapters as one part for review (not because of any special reason but because I think it is a good length – not too long of a document, not too short that will leave the beta readers frustrated and impatient). I’m pretty sure I didn’t end Part 2 mid-sentence though. Does that mean you found the ending of Chapter 6 too abrupt?
Believe me, I hate chapters 8 and 9 as much as you do at this moment. I’ve been looking forward to writing these particular scenes so much that I’ve hyped myself up and gotten disappointed since it just isn’t coming across as beautiful and magical as I imagined it to be.
I don’t think I literally meant mid sentence, but I didn’t have the sense that it was complete. I guess that can be dealt with next draft though.
That’s really disappointing. I’ve had that a few times so far and its also very frustrating 😣

All right. I’ll just leave myself a note there. I’ll have to think of how to make it less abrupt since I really had nothing else planned for that scene. The first idea I have is to just put in some description of the ambience and zoom out into the night sky but that works better for movies, I think. I always get the feeling that I’m adding redundant words when I write descriptions. 😛
Yes, everything is so beautiful in my head. So if you read it and say, “This scene is just ok,” or worse, “This scene is uninteresting/weird/nonsensical etc.,” let me assure you that it is not supposed to be like that. It’s just the result of my flawed self and my imperfect writing skills. 😛
I could just be imagining things, but that’s the impression I had 🙂
Yep, I understand. I think it helps keep us humble and reminds us that we really aren’t as great as we think we are 😉

Oh dear. You got an impression of my extreme discomfort with descriptive writing just from reading some of my writing? I really need to improve. 😛
It’s just that I see everything so clearly in my head so it’s hard to figure out how to convey all that to the poor readers who don’t see. I’m the sort of reader who skips descriptive passages when I read stuff so I have no motivation when it comes to writing descriptions myself.
Ah, yes. Myeongwol’s not the only one who needs a good dose of humility in this project. 😛
Ah, no…I was still thinking about abrupt endings. Apparently the conversation had moved on 😛
Me too, as my astute betas have continually pointed out. I obviously need to work on it as well 😀
😛 I can always use a good dose of humility. I can get a bit up myself on occasions.

Oh. I must have misunderstood then. 😛
As one of your betas, I don’t think I gave you any feedback regarding your descriptions. Because I am the last person who should be doing that. Was that a common issue the others pointed out?
Yes, it’s amazing how these stories are as much of a learning experience for our characters as it is for us. By now I think you have a fair idea on where Myeongwol’s story is going right? 😉
A lot of people said that they wanted more descriptions of the settings, in particular. They had trouble visualizing what they looked like.
I think so 🙂 but of course I can always be surprised.

Ah, I see. I guess that might also tie into your worldbuilding as well.
All right then I shall aim to meet your expectations and surprise you at the same time. 🙂 (That was a very weird sentence that I think only makes sense in storytelling).
I will need to make a move now. Do you think you’ll be on tomorrow?
I need to go too 🙂
I’m not sure whether I’ll be on tomorrow or not, since I’ll be at church and may end up doing other things as well, we’ll see.
Bye for now

I’ve woken up way earlier than planned so I suppose I should make use of the time to do some writing. I guess I’ll be here today. 😛
@valtmy Oh, I missed you again! I’m writing now, though. Anyone else? @seekjustice @jenwriter17 @dekreel @catwing

Are you still around?
Hi! I won’t be here long but it’s been a while since we talked, hasn’t it?
What’re you working on? 🙂
