Dear Muse (Sunshine 4)

Actual gif of me reading my old stuff

You: Why are you looking at old stuff ?
Me: Erm....




The Future
So, I've made some decisions about Sunshine. It is going to be split into two parts...mainly because I need to work out how to finish this mammoth of a thing this story has turned into.The first part will be 8-10 chapters and then I'll take a 1-2 month break to write more.

What happens during that break ? My plan is to use that time to post the Loosely prequel novellas. Maybe I'll even work on that UL3 novella. It's funny Noah Presley (who is based on Cameron Boyce) is featured  fairly prominently in it so it will be interesting to revisit those scenes. GWOSM has really inspired me to jump back into UL.

I may also do some TDOSH, which is why I was looking at old stuff. There is one chapter from one thing in particular I want to TDOSH.

Also...I'm going to talk Lost Sentinel. I do want to post the rest of what I wrote but I'm not sure I can bring the story home. I plan to take another stab at it, but if it doesn't work out then I'll just blog about what my general goals were with that story.

Dear Muse
I'm trying to stay in the present with what I'm writing and going with the flow but I miss having fresh story ideas. I want to write more things like the mermaid stories that were these fully formed ideas just sort of pop into my head. Writing those stories really made me like writing again and I want that feeling back. So, muse, if you are listening...I'm waiting.

Lost Comments
In one of her posts Lile pointed out some of the comments are gone. This happened because those comments were in Disqus and I removed Disqus. I'm working on it. I have to migrate the comments into a new blog but when I did it I didn't take into account that the URL has changed from http to https... so it's a mess but I'm working on it. The comments do exists still!

Chapter 3
Chapter 3 was the chapter I wasn't  sure was going to exist. I could have ended the story with just some wrap up about how complicated families are but I decided to push and set up some stakes so we can live with these characters a little more.

Recap
An explosion occurs at El's house and she sees a message from her mother activating Sunshine Protocol--meaning it is the sole purpose of Sara and Luce to get El to safety. After sensing this may be more than what it seems they take her to a secret desert safe house.... only to discover that has also been blown up.
