Omg I just realized you are still using that little picture I drew of you for your ID >u< I should make a new one for you...
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
lol If you'd like. I would update it if you did. That's my favorite picture of me.

It went all right. I finished my word count, but still have a ways to go with the actual novel. I'll also have to rewrite quite a lot once I'm to the editing stage.

I understand. I didn't get anything done because life took over in November so I'm hoping that December is better to me.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
That always seems to happen and I always hope the same thing, but without a deadline, I never actually get anything done. 
What are you writing?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I'm writing about Jack the Ripper.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Oh, cool! Is it a historical-based story, or is it fictional? (lol With the mention of Jack the Ripper my mind goes straight to A Night in the Lonesome October.)
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Its fictional. Its more like him in present day. There is magic and demons and a lot of crazy stuff. Some of it is Historical Based.

Awesome, that sounds like fun! 
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Nope he is my antagonist. He started out as the protag but I found a more interesting way for the story to be told.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
That sounds like so much fun, I love interesting antagonists.

My protagonist is a girl that is linked to Jack through her biological father.

That's cool. How far have you gotten in it? (I hope I'm not being annoying with all the questions. 
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
(Not annoying at all) I got about one draft done before I didn't like where it was going and changed it. Now I'm reworking a lot of it again.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I hadn't even gotten a draft done by the time I decided the entire thing needed restructuring and a good 25% needed to be thrown out.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I know the feeling. I need to start getting everything done but Idk if I will ever get it done.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah. That's why I need deadlines. I always seem to get more done in November than I do the rest of the year.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
That's during the worse time of the year for me because of school. I normally get plotting done during the school year and try to work on the actual story during the summer.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah, I know how that is. I think I just work better under pressure than I do when I have spare time.
Out of curiosity, are you the type who works on just one story until you finish it, or do you work on a lot of stories at the same time?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Use to be I worked on many but with this one...there is so much research I had to do that I have been forced only on it.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
That's how most of my stories end up too. It's also probably why I prefer writing fantasy! With fantasy, as long as you are consistent you can make stuff up.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I tried writing fantasy. Not really good at them and I like the research stuff too.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I just love all of the world building, making up cultures and languages and everything, though I agree that research can be a lot of fun. (My friends always laugh when I say I do research for fun.) I actually want to put together a site that has a bunch of research and resources for writers with sections focusing on useful topics for different genres that go down to really specific things. It would basically be a more concise Google, I guess.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Oh wow that would be awesome. My friends don't understand either. My roommate was watching me and she found it scary because all of it was fun Jack
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I think that researching is probably the reason I love writing so much. There is always new stuff to learn! And as writers we get to research the strangest stuff.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Oh yeah. The best stuff. I have a few things I need to look into because there are some books that just came out about Jack being a woman. I'm just not sure if I believe that though. I want to look into what the man said about it and make my own judgement.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Well that's an interesting theory, I hadn't heard that before. Do you know what the basis for that idea is?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Something about a doctor's wife pissed that he was cheating with them? I haven't gotten to read it yet so I'll have to let you know when I do
