Yeah, it's June, and I haven't progressed much on that fanfic.
To make a short story long, I haven't been able to get re-started on it. I had another, long, writing project in April, so that certainly slowed things down. Then, my AP US History class got VERY stressful in May with an immoral amount of homework. And, afterwards, the finals in June.
Somehow, all of my written planning for the fanfic ended up in the trash can. Not to mention, the eighth episode kept getting deleted by my sister. After a while, I got bored of re-writing the same sections over and over and over and...you get the picture. It's hard for me to write something unless I'm inspired to do it, and it's hard to be inspired when I'm writing out the same, boring events.
The good news? Well, it's summer, and I have a lot of time on my hands. Plus, it's been a long time since I looked at the surviving fragments of episode eight, so it feels less tiresome to write it out again.
Something in my gut tells me that this story won't be done until after Halloween, but I'm trying my hardest to make sure that it won't happen! I'd like to see the entire rough draft by the end of the summer, which, frankly, is the hardest part. It should be pretty simple to convert everything into a post-able format and do a few final revisions.
And, now that I've made a new post, I need to reveal a character that won't be involved in my version of TDA. Unfortunately, I have to say that DJ won't be a contestant. Sorry, DJ fans!
