You will be happy to know that I've now started writing on Lunar Phases again. I didn't start exactly on July 1st as I planned, but I started on July 2nd. Read through and did some changes to chapter 1 so they reflect my chapter-by-chapter overview. The next day I did chapter 2. And earlier today I did what I had so far on chapter 3, which I think was about half. Now I'm writing the rest of chapter 3. I won't be able to finish it before I leave tomorrow (more on that later in this post), but I'm taking my notebooks with me, and I got Word on my phone, so no worries.
I have 9 chapters planned out, and has started planning the 10th. Which means I have one Hogwarts school year planned out, well October 8th to 1st of September next year. I'm excited about writing again. All this planning has given me a greater feeling for my characters, OCs and canons. And I get them now, I have a sense of who they are and what they would do in most situations. That was the problem before, I didn't really have them engraved in my mind as I did with my characters in Spell? Curse? Hex? Potion? and Antidote: True Love. A Wolf's Soul was different, because it was therapeutic, and the main OC wasn't developed, because I wanted her to be anyone the reader wanted her to be. Which helped in making the story therapeutic, because I could picture myself in the role while writing, without making her a Mary-Sue or a Self-Inserted character.
Anyway, onto other news. I'm going to London on Wednesday! I'm going to Fredrikstad tomorrow, and then the seven of us is going to London! It's mainly because of the Harry Potter world premier, but it's going to be nice to have a vacation, take a break from reality and just be with my loveable friends in a completely different place than home for a few days. And I can't wait to sit and write while the other girls get ready in the morning. I've done some of my best writing while in London, more specifically most of the end of Antidote: True Love. And I did some good writing on A Wolf's Soul while in Orlando, could have done better if we'd have time to sit down and relax.
By the way, I've started posting A Wolf's Soul on Sycophant Hex's Lumos archives. I'm not sure how succesfull I'll be, since it seems like they are very strict with language and grammar and plot and all that. But I've given it a try.
Here's my profile, I'll put it up under links if I'm validated.
Now, off to write a little bit more, do some backup and then go to sleep.
EDIT: Chapter 1 of A Wolf's Soul is now up on my Sycophant Hex Lumos profile. There were some changes I needed to do, but it was validated nonetheless. I did the changes, saved the e-mail and plan to incorporate the changes on the other sites I've posted it as well. Hopefully it will go just as smoothly posting the rest of the story. I'm getting a beta reader for Lunar Phases of course :)
