Well, I'm still alive...I think.
Well, for those of you who read my LiveJournal, you sorta know what's been going on with me (you know, when I actually update), but for those who don't, here's quick run-down on the "Is Rae writing anymore?" question I'm sure you all have been wondering on.
I've been slowly, oh-so-slowly, writing.
And I mean, slowly.
I've written about two pages all summer. Maybe a little more. All of this completely under-wraps one-shot I've been working on since May. It's actually on it's way to being finished, but my betas don't know a thing about it, other than it exists, and I know it'll need some work. I think once my life starts to take a more stable turn, I'll be able to think about writing more. It's not that I don't want to, honestly, it's more like...well, if I have time to write, than I have time to find a steady job, don't I? Yeah...it sucks, but I don't think my muse can churn out much in the state I'm in anyhow. Things will come when they come.
I do have a few jobs at the moment, with some on-the-side web design work, but again, it's getting to that crazy time of year, and with two jobs, one of them being retail (in a bookshop, yay!), then I might not have tons of time to write. Plus, on an important side-note, I'm also going to be moving soon, but probably after the new year.
All's crazy in...well, life. Yeah, just life. ^_^
I have been thinking about "The Bet" and "Original Sinn", so don't fret. I actually re-read OS to kinda get back into the feel of it. I can actually already see some revisions in dialogue and whatnot. :P To be taken care of later when I have more time, of course, and probably after this last chapter is finished. I also realise that it is getting to that time of year again...Christmas time, and guess what the next chapter of "The Bet" is? That's right. Christmas. ^_^ Holly cow, I can't believe it's been a year since I wanted to get that chapter out. I have decided; 2007 was the worst year for me to be writing (or doing anything, apparently), period. I can only hope 2008 will be better. ^_^ I'm thinking I'll punch out the rest of this one-shot (though, since I know it needs a lot of work, I may post it later), but I am going to try and shoot for getting the next chapter of "The Bet" out, since it was actually the story I left off on anyhow.
So, I hope some of this information is encouraging. I know a few of you have written, wondering what's up, and, story-wise, this is it. Life-wise, well, you might wanna read my LJ, if you have the time. I need to update it, but I'll probably do that tomorrow.
I want you all to know that I am so appreciative of all of you, and your patience. No one's bugged me about coming back or updating; you've all been very supportive. I couldn't ask for better readers.
Until next time -
Rae
P.S. I've also, over time, been adding some of Sam's new HP artwork to her section. She also has her working portfolio up, which I linked, if you'd like to see it. Please let her know what you think!
