Books, Revising and/or going to attempt to be published

[srutis]

Since the summer of 2011, writing has played a massive part of my development in art and recovery. A lot has transpired in the previous 3 years for me. I mean sure it's been rough, but it has also been exhilarating for me to find myself situated outside the safety zone. I mean, when it was over, I found myself writing as an intense form of escapism. I really didn't want to return to this constant stability I was previously acquainted with.

So... when I did have to finally move back home, I did nothing but sleep the days away. Life was becoming stagnant again, and I began to notice that if I didn't plan on pulling my head out the ground sooner or later, I'd find myself submerged within lucid dreams and false realities to the point I'd find myself overruled by them. So from there I've found myself stimulated to develop further in both writing and art, effectively venting my frustration and boredom.

I mean, I have literally hundreds of drafts plaguing my desktop- though fortunately I have came to my senses recently and have started to direct them towards individual projects instead of leaving them to accumulate into a textual mass of drabble. But I do in fact have a few short stories I wish to go over, tidy up etc and publish into the public eye (I had planned to post some work up on fictionpress but ahhh no, not yet, not enough confidence; I have a long way to go and y'know.)

However with the ones that I find quite amusing, I've imagined that at some point I'll find myself illustrating them into short comics instead for fun, and hopefully make a little bit of earning by selling them off. However, I haven't been given the opportunity to really work on many of my own personal projects, and some of my larger scale works have been put aside. College honestly has taken up so much of my time of late that it's damning, but I would love to get a few shorts ones done and dusted by summer next year and see what I can do with some of my projects in work at the end my BA course.

I am actually in the process of coming up with a plot for my story. It's going to be about four teens. They're each in a different tribe in the amazon jungle. Each teen has a sort of protector, which are animals. They keep the teens safe but there's a twist. One of the teens is becoming evil slowly and his "protector" must save him before it's too late. The others teens and protectors also help.

It's rough but meh. xD That's a part of the plot.

I've started a practice type of book, recording very detailed like the characters in a roleplay I'm in called The Warriors Rekindled. It's almost like a practice series you know? Since, well, I want to have at least three books published when I'm older... and I'm really into fantasy and such; and I have so many ideas! My friend Ki-chan (She's on FH, though her user is tricky to remember by heart ^^') has offered herself to edit it for me, and I'm having so much fun doing it with her. She's been trying to publish a book, and learned from her editor simple editing things that can be spotted and changed without changing the whole book it's self you know? It's very fun, and I'm learning allot so far!

Having a friend edit is a great idea, I might try it sometime.
BTW I love your signature

It's very fun and kind of like a way to have fun at a job you know? ^^

And thank you very much my dear XD

I am writing a story but I don't think it will be published.  It has a breed I didn't make.  The Vorox breed I made got two forms.  The highly chanced one that I claim to had made myself and the kind pulled right out of the lego comics.

I write so much in my spare time, and I have so many worlds.
I perfect every part of the worlds in my vision, twisting them with both good and bad history that most of the books will never really cover in the depths that they reach. They even have their own unique naming systems, and for my personal enjoyment, I make the worlds their own languages.
The more I write, the more my friends here that I share them with tell me I should try to get them published. Now, it's become a goal that strikes my mind each time I jot down the ideas of another plot. If I went through with it, there would be thousands of series and novels that I could write...And yet, here I sit, procrastinating. It's like the Hell of all writers. Sometimes we don't have "writer's block." We just plainly want to stall.
My greatest problem is the fear, that after all this hard work, it will be denied for the reason that plagues all these stories. Perhaps the things that I chose to leave secret, the hidden parts of the world that perhaps are better left unsaid so that the reader can conclude what they want no matter how far from the truth it is, might kill the story. Or perhaps the fact, that the stories don't have a happy end. That they don't always have a hero. Perhaps the fact that the 'villain' wins, when maybe the villain really is the hero and what everyone has seen as good...is really what's wrong.
And that is why I don't share many of my stories.
