Well, I've reached a sort of climax in my Aphter story, and I already have the vague outline of a continued story, a much larger one. I posted part 55 the other day, and I may post a couple more to wrap some things up and tease some things to come.
My next step, I think, will be to fix the existing story. The plot is very thin in places (having been made up on the spot in many cases) and some of the characterization and tone is not consistent. That's not to mention the very glaring spelling errors, omitted words and grammatical mistakes. (Well, I guess I DID just mention them, but you know what I mean.)
So, thanks to anyone who has read them and who has given feedback. I won't be posting my future progress here on the blog. Posting them here with the notion that a few people were reading them was a motivating factor to help me persist in the writing for the past few months, a real feat for a quitter like me. Now, however, I want to add some quality, and I don't want anyone to see it until I decide it is done. That's my more typical modus operandi anyway.
I'll be leaving the existing Aphter posts up for about another week, and then I'm going to take them down. Feel free to skim them if you've not done so, but don't expect much. Most of them haven't even been proofread once. They're uber-rough.
Well, that's enough narcissistic prattle. There are more serious affairs afoot somewhere; there must be.
Hello, friends. Thanks for stopping by.
Later. Love.
