update of the life of Fel...

Post by Fel »

It's been a while since I posted, but it's because I've been rather busy.

I had a series of serious RL issues with prevented me from writing for a while...I won't go into them, but let's just say that they demanded my full attention.  After I got that sorted out, I wrote nearly 17 pages of Sub 11, decided it sucked, then scrapped it and started over.

Rewrites are the debil, but in this business, they happen.  A LOT.  I've probably written at least an entire extra book's worth of scrapped material for every book I've written.  I've scrapped entire chapters before...which really annoys me.  Not that I scrapped it, but that it took me that #$%^@ long to realize that it sucked and wasted all that effort and energy into something that gets deleted.

No, Grey, you can't see the scrapped material.  It's already gone.  :P

I'm back on what I think is the right track...but only time will tell.  Subjugation suddenly stopped being easy to write after the end of chapter 10, hehehe.  It like takes EFFORT now.

You mean people, making me WORK!  *sniff*  I hate you!  I want my mommy!

MOOOOOOOOMMMMMYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Love all your works Fel.  All your hard work too.  ;)

Fel, if you need something easy to write for a while, and by accident you have made "Subjugation" harder to write after last chapter (meaning it would require I think some plan and research), making it impossible to write-on-the-fly, maybe then concentrate on other stories? I mean writing "Subjugation" was meant among other things as break from very work-intensive to be "Pyrosian Chronicles"... So maybe a little more of "Alpha Project" or "Dragon Star", eh?

Or maybe some short stories in Sennadar universe? Just an idea...

I seem to remember a thread a while back when Fel was tossing around possible ideas about a Tarrin crossover story with something else... Earth, maybe? I don't have time to search, but something completely random like that might help  too. I know that's how I ususally get inspiration back.

I'm Sorry but your normal Mommy isn't Available to take your Call at this time.

However our highly trained assistant Mommy "Sarraya" is on her way to you even now as you read this reply.

Save them all to a file then after the book is finished you can post a Blooper file of what didn't cut it <G>

Sorry about the RL thing  but then we have no lives just living from withdrawl to withdrawl... <sigh>

Fel,

Just wanted to check on how RL was treating you.  Hadn't seen any posts from you in a while.  Did you have a fulfilling spring break?  Hit any of the beaches?  Hope classes are doing well too.  Any hint on how the stories are going?

Thanks,

J-Man5
