I've got to say. I feel like the current thing holding me back from Writing the most is, like. the.... drag in the physics sense of the word of having Long Unfinished Works making me suddenly extremely cautious about publishing anything that I do not have The Rest Of The Story Written

#and honestly this is one thing when it's 'maybe I don't want to start new fic until I've finished at least 80% of the fic'#but this is also currently dragging on me in terms of like #oh gods the moment that I publish a novel that is not stand-alone #that is the Hugest Fucking Pressure to Write In That Series #like honestly this might be one of the reasons that I'm writing 'The Crane And The Knife' from scratch #instead of taking all of the two months it will take me to polish the latest draft of Opus #Opus II is going to be INSANELY long and I haven't started it at all and just #staring at it and all my unfinished fic and all the fic I want to write but also like #how much I hope people will love Opus and want more!!!!#vs how fucking Stressful it will be that Opus II is kind of two books and I wouldn't be surprised if it was close to 300k #of trying to Produce that under Pressure #it reminds me that I'm burned out and Exhausted instead of 'woot woot writing is fun!!!!!'#anyways just rambling to myself #The Crane And The Knife is really funny #and luckily The Heart And The Heartless is MEANT to be released chapter by chapter as a webnovel #so if people love TCATK it's waaaaay easier for me to get ahead in writing and then start releasing THATH instead of having to scramble #for my own sanity might want to like. write Opus II while Opus I is in beta.#my life #my writing #honestly honestly like. I was kind of hoping to be finished with ttbotr and wriu by now #I think I would feel SO much better if I had ANY complete works to my name #esp given ifmlam is probably starting up again relatively soon?#which is just going to. Bring Back The Pressure.
