Re: Writers of MFG / General Discussion
Wow, thread is dead. Time to bring it back a little.
So, it seems I've been doing as I usually do. Starting too many projects. I still have the massive Altered History project to do. The rest of Saga 6 and all of Saga 7, plus the 8 (currently planned) Gaidens that go along with it and the Chronicles of the EDF spin-off series as well as The Legacy Continues sequel series. I've got two other on going DBZ Fanfics to work on, plus two originals (one of which I hope to get published).
And in recent weeks I've tacked on even more. I've had a fanfic project in the works for a while now for Robot Alchemic Drive and that's been pulled back up to 'active' status. I recently did a little more work on my Bio F.R.E.A.K.S. fic again (like, just a few hous ago). I've spent the last month or so ironing out ideas for a Shadow of the Colossus fic. And just the other day I worked out a basc synopsis outline for a 6 story ReBoot fanfic series.
Let's also not forget the Xenosaga 4 story I want to write. Plus a Haunting Ground fanfic, as well as a Digimon fic and a Pokemon/Digimon crossover story still in early consideration phase. And I'm already working on Vae Neco, my novel for this coming November (NaNoWriMo, National Novel Writing Month, if you don't know it go check out Nanowrimo.org). And, of course, there's that unfinished and barely begun Hand of Fate original from a while back that I'd like to return to sometime.
Oh, and I'm still trying to work on my one-shot for the competition.
So I'm currently feeling a bit... overwhelmed, for obvious reasons. I blame my overactive imagination. I always have more ideas than I have time to implement. And I fell so in love with the AH universe and my OCs from it that I can't help but to want to build on and expand it more and more, beyond the originally planned 7 stories. My current plan, though, is to finish up Sagas 6 and 7 and then take a break from AH for a while while I work on some other things.
But I've been considering breaking from AH, and Dragonball, at least for a bit, once I've completed Saga 6. I'm worried I wont come back and finish the series if I leave it for too long, I seem to have a short attention span most of the time and I'm honestly surprised AH has held my interest so readily for such a large endevour. But I think that goes back to how much I've fallen for the universe and the characters. So I likely will come back to it in time, I just don't like letting people hang for long periods of time if I can avoid it.
But at the same time I feel as though if I don't get one of these other stories finished, either one of my originals (Ragnarok (the future novel), or Graveyard Shift (which will likely be posted here) or my RAD, SotC, Bio F.R.E.A.K.S., or the first of the ReBoot fics I'll never fully get my focus back. Every so often one of them calls me away from trying to work on Saga 6 to iron out a few points of details or pound out a few paragraphs.
Well, I feel a little better now that I've had the chance to rant. :þ
Honestly, I don't know where I'm going to find the time to do all of this. I've already got so much planned and so much I want to do that it'll take me several years to finish it all. And it seems every day I just add on even more. I think I need to set aside a day or week or month or something to writing. Just writing. Nothing else. No TV, no movies, no video games. .... Yeah, like that would ever happen. I can't even do that during NaNo.
So I don't feel quite so alone in this, anyone else in a similar situation? Misery enjoys company and all that.
