Struggles

So, as promised I'm writing a meatier post. I'm kind of pissified right now; I made a list of all my works and added it to the sidebar there and now I don't see it. Maybe it'll show up later. I hope so, because I plan to put a list there of upcoming works and there really won't be any point if the fucking thing is just absent.

So, today I managed to complete chapter 2 of Always You. I started chapter 3 and so far I'm pleased with it. I swear to god though, doing this sequel to Until You was the hardest thing ever. I finished Until You, got a bunch of reviews saying I should do a sequel and so I did. I should have just left well enough alone. It's one thing to have a story and know how it's going to begin, progress and end. It's something else entirely when you set out to do a sequel and have no idea what the plot is going to be.

Anyways, I thought and thought...and thought. Finally, ideas started coming and I began writing the first chapter of Always You. I got as far as a few paragraphs and stopped. For, like, weeks. I had some kind of block. At that point I decided to map out the story with an outline. That helped. I got chapter one done, deleted more than half, then finished it up in a satisfactory manner. Chapter 2, now. I was stumped. I did the only thing I could think of and pulled out my trusty music. Sure enough, once the tunes were flowing, the ideas followed. I now know pretty much all that's going to happen in this story and how it's going to end.

Other than that, I'm currently working on my first Bleach fic. I originally said it was going to be just Ichigo and Inoe, but have decided to add Tatsuki and Chizuru. I have to add here that I am not attached to Bleach and the characters therein the way I am to Naruto. However, I found that after watching the latest episodes, some ideas came to me. I started work on it a few days ago. There are only a few paragraphs right now, but it's complete in my mind, so I just need to type it up when I get a chance.

Alrighty, I'm going to stop here.

Adios!
