Writing Confession #3

I'm sorry I've been neglecting this blog a little this year. It's not as though I'm not doing anything exciting (musical wise. Other than that... yeah, my life is pretty boring), I just haven't been writing about it. Oops.

Anyway, another writing confession:

Sometimes I really regret not writing a Stranger to Myself sequel.

I like this story a lot. I love most of my OC's, I love Elphaba and Fiyero's meet-cute, and I love so many of the little things I made for this story. And I loved writing Melena.

I had my reasons at the time for not doing a sequel- I didn't want to keep dwelling in the same universes because I thought people would get bored; I didn't really know what the story would be... but every so often when I re-read it or I get a review from someone who's just found it and read it... I regret that I didn't write more in that universe.

Writing Confession #2

I've only noticed when re-reading some of my stories that I've written characters based on people... that I hadn't actually met when I first wrote them.

Seriously, Zofie? She is so much like Laura, a little adorable girl who was at the first school I taught at.

And I only realised a few months ago, that Kasmira is very much like my Head of Faculty at my last school, Rachael. And I created Kasmira over a year before I met Rachael!

I don't know how it happens, but it does!

Writing Confession

In my brief considerations of a 40 Weeks follow up; when Ashur received the journal on his 18th birthday, one of his parents was not around.
