After hitting a couple of walls writing Nightvision, I’ve come to the realization that I cannot rewrite the story the way I want to... right now. I always knew this series would be a long-term project, but never did I imagine it could be so difficult. I still maintain that my series is flawed in the ways I’ve said previously; however, I’ve slowed down due to the start of the school year and due to the fact that I’m just not very good at writing beginnings.
I feel as though the series as a whole is out of touch with what both young adult and mature audiences look for in their fiction. It’s an awkward feeling, wanting to so badly write a story, but not being a good enough writer to write it.
Recently, I’ve found I have the potential to be a leader when it comes to the field I’m majoring in. Though I have numerous other, less healthy habits, I feel it is the right time for me halt all work on my series. I feel weak having to write this message, but I promise I will complete Nightvision at some point. Felix’s story does not end where it is now. I will be reuploading much of The Ninth Life by winter break.
