Status Update: Germany and TCA

Hey guys, how's it going?  Germany is going great so far!  I'm doing well with my host family, I made a whole bunch of friends in school, and I've gotten much better at the language (mostly practical speech, none of the extremely complicated things they teach you in school).  I'm also very excited right now because it's the Fall Break right now, and that means that something very important to me is coming up: my Berlin trip.

It's going to be an awesome trip in my mind.  There's so much to do and so much I can choose from, but I only got two days to do it all.  I'm really looking forward to all of the fun experiences I'll most likely have during this time, especially visiting places like the Pergumon Museum, seeing the sights and the culture, and most especially seeing a live concert of one of my most favorite bands: The Parov Stelar Band.  I'll definitely have something to write about when I get back, so look forward to a new journal in a week or so.

Now let's get to something a little more dA related...

I've been doing a lot of thinking really.  Most of it was on my current work that I did with the Chronicles of Aether.  The only thing I could really say when I look back at my previous chapters is this:  I don't like it.

It's not that I hate the plot, I actually like it, but the way I presented the characters and their personalities made them surprisingly flat in my mind, and some of the characters were presented in a light which didn't appeal to me at all.  So therefore, I'm going to just clear my mind and do a yet another try from the beginning.

They say that a writer's harshest critic is her/himself, and I agree with that statement completely, but I think that this is something I must do for the story.  Otherwise, I'd feel like I would lose all of my motivation to continue the story and leave it unfinished, which is something that wouldn't sit well with me.

So, let's hope that this new try works out, and maybe in January you'll see a new and improved rewriting of the Chronicles of Aether.

This is Seegan Nexus signing out!  Until next time!
