《The Abyssal Dungeon》Overdue Update, Decisions Pending
Advertisement
Hello everyone, I have to apologize for not being around terribly much at all. It's been a long, hectic while, with school and family troubles, good things and bad taking up time and energy that I wanted to go to writing— should have gone to writing. Things are still going on, frustratingly, and I wish that things could just be normal and that I could find the spark and love I know that Aby deserves. I still do write, it's a major portion of my degree, but creative writing in an academic setting versus in a casual and fantastical setting is very different. It is frustrating to have the time to write, only to sit down and try to write and find inspiration isn't forthcoming at all. I have only a few chapters backlogged when I should have dozens and I hate this feeling. I wish I knew what I could be doing or how to be doing it to get that feeling back, but I will be trying again to do so.
I made a promise to myself and everyone here that I would never drop this novel completely, and I stand by that, but I also owe this story the best I can give it for being what completely changed the course of my life; I never want to give up writing, and I never would have known I love it the way I do had it not been for the slightly (very) rushed decision to sit down, open up a word document, and just start writing, tossing whatever ideas I'd had up until then to the wind.
As school comes to a close, and I finish this and start my final semester, I will yet again have more time. I will still have some commitment to writing for classes, but I want, crave, being able to sit back down and start releasing new chapters of The Abyssal Dungeon as well as share a few other ideas I've come up with in the meantime. I haven't released these couple stories yet because I don't want to fall into the classic pitfall of endlessly dropping and moving to a new story, but I still work on them in the meantime because I'd rather at least be working on something, and that current something is an especially silly idea that I'm having fun with.

But that's for later; I may decide to start releasing that, explicitly shifting focus to that for a little bit as I try to get back into things, but for now I just wanted to put out an update that everyone here is well-deserving of, and tell you all that I'm alive, my love for writing is alive, and this infuriating block is still alive despite my best efforts to change that. To those of you who read this, thank you for your patience, I truly have no words for the amount of support I have been and am shown by you all, and you reading this right now are as much the reason I love writing, if not moreso, than anything I think could have come from within.
Thank you, and have a truly wonderful day.

WISH MOUNTAIN
I could give you a typical synopsis that you'll gloss over...or I could tell you the essence of what the story will be. Still with me? Great! Let's get to it... WISH MOUNTAIN is inspired by fairy tales and, in a way, animated Disney movies. The biggest inspiration of them all is Beauty and the Beast. Why? Because I love it and hate it at the same time. The thing I hate about the movie is how the villain, Gaston, never got a chance for redemption. The movie was all about what is on the inside that counts, right? Beast went from bad-to-good because Belle learned to love and care about him. Was Gaston not worth that same chance for redemption? Sure he was a bad person, but so bad that he couldn't also undergo the same kind of change for the better? It was this question that got me thinking... what would Gaston's redemption look like? What kind of story would that be? From this nugget an entire epic story unfolded that has both outgrown, but has never forgotten, that original inspiration. So what can you expect? In essence: something like an epic, adult-orientated Disney story, which is gloves-off when it comes to violence and character trauma. I'll be doing my best to write a story that is as close to a classic adventure fairy tale with real stakes and meaningful characters as I can. The story begins with two orphans; Amaryllis and Chicory, who are whisked away to the magical WISH MOUNTAIN, and are faced with fending for themselves all alone. This is a HUGE story that will take YEARS for me to finish. If you're ready for a journey to Wish Mountain, then Once Upon a Time begins with Chapter 1...
