Saturday

So sleepy. Saturday's sickness, I guess. I've haven't reached my goal of 5000 words yesterday because I was not contented with my first chapter. I also have to rewrite my prologue until I'm satisfied.

One of my problems is I want to write the best out there. I want to be pleased first with what I write before I send it to the readers to read. I want to feel the story and experience the laughter, the cries, the pain, the heart pumping thrill, and the sweetness of my characters from my story before I'll publish them. Still, readers couldn't sense them because it was not written enough to make them experience the same way.

After writing two novels, I've seen the need to write a whole volume or if possible complete the whole book before publishing so there will be no loopholes or problems in the story. Readers detect them where even the authors missed.

I feel bad every time I see a loophole later and redo or add something on the previous chapters to fill in that hole while my first readers missed it. The painful thing is when readers drop my story because they feel amiss. Sorry to readers but newbie writers always have that problem. Because of the reason that we're eager to publish, read comments, see people putting our story in their library, and more. Not understanding the possible plot holes later.

Some writers are also eager to get a lot of readers right away that's why they updated fast enough without knowing what to write for the following chapters because they don't have a clear outline or plot written in the first place. Then problems start appearing later because of bad reviews and comments.

Now, I need to write fast for two hours because I need to go to my mother's house. She newly arrived from the US, and she's now very old. I don't even know when she'll be back here or if God will allow...

Better eat breakfast now and continue writing. Love you all readers. ^_^
