Scribbles and Updates

So, this chapter is hell. HELL. I have written over 10 000 words and had to scrap all of it because it was shit. None of the characters sounded like themselves, it felt stiff, it was boring and just ugh. It's one of the most emotional scenes in the story and it's just not coming out properly. I think the problem is that I have nothing to draw from to write it. I mean, I know she feels betrayed and hurt and angry, but how would she react? Once I figure that out I think I can finally get it to actually work and flow like her.  I have managed to rewrite about 3 000 words but a little over 2 000 are most likely going to get scrapped because 1. it still doesn't have the oomph I need and the voice is off and 2.it's backstory that is necessary for the story but not for the readers. So to make up for my lack of presence I'm going to put it up on here. If I don't finish the current chapter by the end of this month I'm aiming to post another one of AJ's POV&

AJ's POV is coming along, I have the first 'chapter' done and I like it even though I'm still trying to figure out the voice.  I'm going to do a series of really short one-shots instead of trying to get everything down in one go. Currently it has just hit 1,500 words and I like it. The tone is a bit experimental, I'm trying to stay true to AJ's voice but it's being difficult so don't be surprised if each 'chapter' seems different from the first until I hit my stride. The shorter length feels more realistic in regards to his character and I decided to go with third person so that it'll be more distinct from Judi's and because I feel it carries over his feelings a bit clearer since AJ is more of an action person. He plans and then he does, he doesn't really worry about the consequences of his actions which is why he screwed himself over this time. I really need to figure out a title for this. Since it's not going to b

So this chapter is harder to write then I thought it would be. I know everything that has to happen, and to be honest I've known how this chapter was going to go down from about chapter five, lol. I have scenes written out and dialogue I want to throw in, except all of my scenes and dialogue are for when she finally gets to hear AJ's side of the story. I still need to get her away from the Goblins. I don't want to drag it on like I did with the previous chapter but I'm having issues with making it realistic while holding the tension. Ugh. I was really hoping to have it ready for the end of this month but I don't see that happening right now since I'm not even half way finished, on a good note, I did finish the first 'chapter' of AJ's side of things. I'm going to make another post for that though. I'm also hoping to have IWOAK29 done for May so I can keep up my posting once a month thing going on as well as possibly post a few one shots
