Falling in love again

Anyone who knows me well, knows I am notorious for changing my mind, not making up my mind, not having a mind... Basically, I am indecisive. It once took me twenty minutes to decide what to have for breakfast, and then I went ahead and had what I always have: cereal. Exciting.

Character concepts. Will be
worth millions one day.
Probably.

You know a few posts ago when I decided I wasn't going to push my newly completed story for publishing? Yeah strike that. I've only properly edited two chapters but it's given me hope. Actually, the character concept art I did last week gave me hope, editing the chapters gave me feelings. Feelings like: I think I remember why I wanted to write this story.

Readers, I do believe I'm falling in love with my story again. It helps that I'm breathing new life into the characters. I've explored a bit more of one of the MC's family life which sets up some of her reasoning for leaving home and disobeying her parents. Also, it gives a more rounded view of who she is before the shit gets serious in the story, which is good for pacing reasons.

I've got other things planned as well, like maybe pursuing the romance I had in mind, setting up a little foreshadowing for the sequel I haven't planned yet, reinforcing the characters' relationships with each other and - oh yeah - writing an ending that doesn't suck.

I'm actually looking forward to it now.
