Wow, It's been a long time since I wrote a blog. Honestly you haven't missed much. I think it was 2 years ago when I started writing stories. I've been doing that with most of my time. I used to write and then delete them, but lately I've been keeping the stuff I write. Honestly, most of it was terrible stuff and it needed to be done. I did write a few good stories before I rebooted my inner universe, but I have no regrets about restarting things. I feel like I'm in a new phase of life now. I feel like my inner universe just needs a new draft I guess you could say. That's how I spend most of my days right now. I write, play games, go out on occasion and watch stuff on various streaming platforms.
I don't have much of a life right now honestly. I decided to quit school, I don't have any plans to get a job, I don't go out as much anymore and I'm just not sure what I want to do with my life. I have doubts that I'll ever figure it out, but life is unpredictable, so maybe I'll figure out something. Life is just very confusing for me right now. I guess that's why I enjoy writing about the lives of my fictional characters. It's really fun giving my characters fun lives that are full of adventure and letting them do all the things I want to do. It helps me not feel so empty inside. I do feel empty sometimes honestly. Life is just very confusing right now. I know I'm not alone though, so that's something at least. I think perhaps that many people feel the same way I do these days.
My stories are full of original characters, places and scenarios. It's really fun writing them. I have two different universes. One takes place on Earth in a modern timeline, and the 2nd I haven't rebooted yet, but I'm preparing to. I'm just writing out the lore and the details first. It takes place in a fantasy world separate from earth. The characters are the same, but the details about their lives, hobbies and other things are different between universes. If it ever gets good enough, i might share one of my stories somewhere, but for now I'm not going to. I'm just not ready. It's been a great coping mechanism however. I think I don't feel as chaotic when I'm writing. It's also been helping me work out my emotions and feelings about various things. I want to keep writing stories, it's a lot of fun. They are typically between 30 and 90 pages depending on how the stories develop. My average is 50 pages per story I think.
Endings are the hardest part for me. I tend to rush them.
