Progress

Posted on by Kassandra Carrillo

I used to publish my blog posts on Fridays but now I think it would be better if I do this at the start of the week. That way, I can write about my progress during the week and over the weekend. However, with my schedule in choas, I don’t have a definite day. It has been difficult to get back into the habit of both writing a blog post and working on my stories.

While I have been revising my NaNoWriMo novel and Crimson Queen, a wattpad story I finished last year (?), it hasn’t been as much as I hoped. However, I will say that rushing a revision never did me any good. As long as I don’t stop, everything should be good.

On a happier side note, another one of my game reviews has been posted. You can find it here. While this isn’t on a weekly basis, at least I got a few articles out there. So far, that is good enough for me.

As long as I continue to go forward and, though it’s at a slow pace, I can say that I am working towards my goal. In the meantime, I just got to keep reading, revising, writing, and beta reading so I can help other improve and improve myself too.

Changing the Plot & a possible Multiverse?

Posted on by Kassandra Carrillo

I’ve started to plan out the plot for Phantom Blade. After taking a peak at the story that I wrote, I realized that I had to change the plot. The one I currently have is good but I think it n…

Trial and Error

Posted on by Kassandra Carrillo

With everything winding down (at work), I’ve been able to get a few more things done. It’s mostly got to do with the fact that I’m not as tired from my day job like before. 

So, not only have I officially submitted my review for the game I mentioned earlier, I was welcomed aboard. I got my own wordpress login for the website and, although I have to complete my profile, I feel like I’m part of the team already.

On another note, there’s one story that I have always been going back to. At first, I wrote it as a short story twice. Each version has always been different. But the idea has always stayed with me. 

This is my second science fiction story that I have. Its futuristic in nature, plus mutated beasts, and a bit apocalyptic in nature. I have the characters created and the world. I do have most of the plot figured out and yet, the execution has always been odd. I’ve written it time and time again and it still doesn’t fit.
I think it’s because the story deals with heavy issues – that I believe to be heavy – and so I want to portray these issues correctly. My inability to do so has, somewhat, annoyed me and, which is why, the story hasn’t really gone anywhere.

Nevertheless, I managed to write about two pages of this story. It’s not the greatest and even now, I’m trying to convince myself that I just need to write and not worry about how it sounds like. You would think with NaNoWriMo I would be better at this but its still hard. 

In the meantime, I will be editing stories to try to appease my inner editor so she can let me write in peace.

A Little bit of Everything 

Posted on by Kassandra Carrillo

Today was more about typing what I had hand written for the second book in a series I’m working on – Clan of Blood – than actually ‘writing’ per say. As I’m still receiving feedback from my beta readers, I didn’t want to write too much in Clan of Blood in case I changed something huge in the first book. It’s a bit unfair to the story but, as of right now, I don’t want to go back and rework the plot of the second book. 

I’m not saying that Clan of Blood is set in stone or anything. I just thinm that it would be easier to write the second book once I know that the details of the first book are set. Plus, I don’t know how Clan of Blood is going to end so I’m a bit scared of continuing. I really don’t want to get writer’s block. Hence, it’s the reason why I have been avoiding this story. I’m horrible.

On a side note, I have also been beta reading through two more stories. I sent a chapter back last night and worked on at least two more but not as much. 

I should also mention that I’m going to write a review for a mobile game. More updates on that coming soon. I’ll be adding a link too. 

As of right now, I don’t think that I have a lot on my plate. That’s probably going to change but it will be a good change. I’m excited and hope it will all work out.
