Okay please don't hate me… I know it's been forever. Also don't hate me if you got really excited because you thought this was an update, just please please please please hang in there and read this all the way through anyway if you have time.
I have had the worse case of writers block with this story. It was so fun for me to write in the beginning and then one day I couldn't think of anything. My mind was completely blank. I got so frustrated with myself. I tried to force something out, but it was never good enough leaving me even more mad. School was stressing me out, this story was stressing me out. I was going insane. I had to put it down for a while, for the good of the story and my writing sanity.
However, a couple of weeks ago, I started re-reading twilight over my winter break. (You're probably like what, that's random and doesn't have anything to do with this story. Well just hold on I'm getting there I swear.) I know some of you probably don't like Twilight and that's totally cool. I mean, not everything can as solid and unproblematic as HP. Am I right? But I actually do really like it. (Please don't bite my head off, no pun intended.) It makes me think back to my middle school days when everyone was so entranced by the story, and literally everyone was reading them. Jacob Black is actually one of my favorite fictional characters (even before Taylor Lautner was cast for the movie alright I swear) behind Ron Weasley and Luna Lovegood of course.
When I got to the ending I remembered how mad I had been the first time I read them. The whole ending just pissed me off, (I won't spoil it for you If by some chance you haven't read them) but the ending was not good enough for Jacob. (No offence Steph) Sure, every other character got what they wanted, but somehow the way Jacob's story ended never sat right with me. Similar to with Harry, I didn't like who Jacob ends up with, so to speak. So, like with Bella (my OC not Stephanie's Bella), I created a knew character. A character that I thought would be better for Jake. (in my mind, at least. If you like the ending, all power to you.) I had a dream about it, just like I had with my first story, and I just had to write it down. This one flew out so quickly for me, and I really like the way it's turning out.
I wasn't going to post it, because I don't want to make anyone mad about my not finishing my other story yet, which I know (even though there are not a ton of you that actually read what I've written) that you guys were really wanting to know what happens. However, I really want to put it out there, because I really do like it a lot. And with a chance some of you guys are also fans of Twilight, it might give you something to enjoy while I get my crap together and figure out this story.
This does not in anyway mean I'm giving up on Find the Light, the opposite actually. I think this new story is only going to be a single, no sequel or anything. So once I finish it up (which should be very soon with the rate it's going) I'm hoping it will spark my need to write again, and I will finally be able to finish what I started.
Anyone make it all the way through that? Gold star if you did. Sorry I'm really bad at expressing myself in under 500 characters. I hope you guys don't hate me or want me burned at the stake or anything. I really am very sorry. I promise, as soon as I possibly can I will return to this story. Right now, it's not good for me to force something, but hopefully after I get this new story out in the world, the creative juices will just keep flowing.
If you are interested in my new story, It's called Without a Trace. I won't talk about it too much on here, but it introduces a new element to the world Stephanie Meyer created, and it's a pretty rad idea if I do say so myself. The new character is such a badass, and you get to see more into my perception of the Pack, which was personally one of my favorite elements of the books.
Alright, I'll leave you now. Check it out if you want, or don't if you don't. I know I've left you hanging on this one for a long time, but hold out just a little bit longer for me. Love you guys. Thanks for reading. If I don't see you over at the other story, until next time, Stay Magical
