Oh I totally hear you. The initial writing part is where most of the fun is! The editing takes so long it seems, and it does get incredibly frustrating when you realize you need to totally re-write a scene or chapter, etc. Makes me want to tear my hair out sometimes, frankly, especially when you are on version 23497234 of a chapter, it seems like. (Don't get me started on how many times I've rewritten the beginning of the next chapter. It's ugly.)
Okay then, at least you'll be too busy to be counting the days or anything! Yeah, I was really hoping to get it done this month, but it's not to be sadly.
That's awesome that someone drew pics of your characters! What a compliment. :-)
That's the power of being The Creator. The boys should quiver in terror at the sight of me. I can make anything happen to them! >:D
But yes, you do get the pleasure of reading it and not knowing what will happen. I love plot twists myself, and good storytelling. There's just something special about a well-written story. So I strive to keep readers either surprised or invested; hopefully I succeed for the most part.
Yeah, character models are tricky! I feel like I haven't seen anyone that exactly fits the pictures in my head, sadly. Not that I'm saying it's a lost cause, cause you never know. And there are also more abstract icons that can be made too, not just ones with a character model. I'll need to give it some thought myself.
