Basically, as the title says, the exam period is over and I once again have some free time on my hands. Initially, I was planning on getting a job for the summer, but seeing that I ended up working part-time at my university in addition to studying, I can afford the luxury of having a leisurely summer, yay :D!
My plans?
Main Priority: Finish my novel.
It was supposed to be done by now, but a lot of things got in-between and I didn't manage to get it done, so there are still a few chapters left to write and rewrite before I can say that it's completed. I'll probably publish the prologue of it as well as 1-2 chapters on Wattpad or here (details later) to give people an opportunity to read it, see whether they like it or not and tell me whether or not it's alright before I send it to a publisher or publish it independently. Wish me luck ^^!
Second priority: Resume weekly updates on my fanfiction stories (until the end of the Summer.)
I've left you guys having to wait 2-3 weeks for a single update at times, and I think you deserve better, so I'm planning on making sure that there will be at least 3 updates per month, maybe 4 if I'm feeling extra inspired. It should be manageable and I'm hoping to conclude 'Staring it up!' by the end of the Summer/the beginning of Autumn.
Third priority: Publish 'My Star' on Wattpad.
After a kind guest informed me that someone had stolen my story and begun publishing it on Wattpad under their name (the situation has since been resolved), albeit in Polish, I've decided to 'polish' My Star and publish the whole thing on Wattpad. This isn't the first time my story has been stolen as a Japanese and a French version of it were online for some time until I had them taken down due to plagiarism, but if anyone wishes to share my story with others and translate it, just send me a message. Seriously, that would be friggin' cool and I'm honestly not that strict of a person, I'd be very happy, in fact, ^^!
Fourth priority: Create and manage a new account of non-fanfiction stories.
I'll make on both here and on Wattpad (or some other site for writers.) The plan is to publish small original or inspired stories and see what people outside of the Fanfiction universe think of me and my writing. If you'll follow either of them, constructive criticism will be encouraged!
As you can see, I'm very ambitious and I'm hoping that my plans will come to fruition. I'm taking a day or two off to relax a bit, then I'll start working on everything that I've mentioned, starting with the next chapter of Staring it up!
Expect the next chapter of 'Staring it up!' to be uploaded either on Saturday or on Sunday. I think you guys will like it ;).
C ya!
