I love reading romances, but turns out it's really hard to write about two people falling in love. Especially when I myself have never been in a relationship so I'm basing this whole thing on media. As a result I'm worried it's going to turn out really cliché. But oh well, that's what a first draft is for right?
On the topic of first drafts, there are days when I really want this series to just be written, so I have something to work with. Honestly, I have no idea where I'm going some of the time. As you may have guessed, proper planning isn't really something I'm good at. Luckily my main character is prone to getting lost in her thoughts, which is my excuse for going off on tangents and then stopping them abruptly. It's just my 'style', right?
So, I finished writing the next chapter by Friday, which was great. It's uploaded on to Quotev now. I went with awkward conversation as the starter for romance. To be honest I have no idea what to do. Continue with awkward half conversations? It'll probably go that way.
Are parts cool to have in stories? I like them but I'm not sure how they would work in Darling Mine. Something else that I am probably going to brush off with the reasoning that this is the first draft, it can be changed later. (I do that far too often.)
Another thing I have noticed is how dark my stories end up being. I was looking *procrastinating* on Pinterest and so many of my boards are just angst. Oops. I'd say have a look, but I plan whole series on there so definitely spoilers! I don't even read that many dark stories though. I guess I'm just a mean writer. (Insert stereotypical evil laugh). Then again, people read it and seem to like it (I hope!), so I guess just keep going.
Anyway, I should probably get back to that writing thing, so see you next week!
