Just an Author Note, no plot this time. Unfortunately, while I have many ideas for this story, I guess I just lost the writing bug when it comes to Instant Star. I'm currently working on my own original novel with my best friend – definitely nothing like the Instant Star fics I've wrote thus far. It's a separate genre, probably best compared to a Twilight-esk fic.
Anyway, point of the post, I'm just not in the mindset. Every time I sit down to work on it, it just all comes out wrong. Maybe because I'm thinking like Adriana and Marlee – the main characters in my original – and not Jude and Tommy. It frustrates me sometimes because I love where this fic was going. I guess I got stuck with too many fillers in a row or something, I don't know. But I'm stuck. My IS muse flew out the window and the finale made me mad. I just can't think Jommy when I hate Jude for breaking Tommy's heart. As I sigh heavily, maybe taking a short hiatus will be beneficial (though I guess it was already on an unofficial one).
I'm half tempted to post the outline I have drawn up so far; that way you all can see where I was going. The other half of me thinks maybe I'll get inspired eventually. Maybe seeing your begs and pleads will get me wanting to write to it again; maybe to relook at the outline and fix up the filler I've been forcing out and just skip it all together. I don't know; I just…I don't know if I'll ever finish it. I don't want to post anything that's not "in character"; I'll end up hating it later. Knowing me though, I'll get a couple people begging for more or something and I'll want to write more. Hopefully I'll be back again but I won't promise anything.
Maybe soon, you guys will be able to read my original – straight from the bookstore shelves!! My Co-Author and I are working hard at it so hopefully we'll accomplish a shared life-long dream (ok 21-odd years – our ages but still) and be published.
Until then, with a heavy heart, I put Black Sunday – again – on an official hiatus.
