Scribbles and Updates

Hey you guys, I know I've been MIA for quite a while now but I am writing, just slowly.Very slowly. After I finished IWOAK I sort of got stuck in this weird limbo where I have ideas and I can plot those out but writing the actual words is a bust. I have like six false starts for One More Night (the gladiator-ish story I've posted on here) even though I know the characters and I know how I want them to meet again in our time. I had a quick brain storm with my sister that hopefully we can extend on over the weekend and it'll be the kick I need to get everything working again.  Then there's the epilogue for IWOAK. Oy. I have that outlined and everything but the words aren't coming at all. I know where I wan the scene to happen, how I want it to happen but it just won't happen. I don't know, rereading the story isn't helping me get back into the flow, it's just making my fingers itch I'm hoping to at least have that finished sometime this mon...

Second prologue is behind the cut. Enjoy!

Alright, so here's the (first) prologue to the short story I'm trying to use to break me out of the IWOAK slumps. It is nothing like IWOAK, at least for the first two prologues which are set very very loosely in Roman times (forgive me my huge historical inaccuracies) and has a much darker tone. I ran into some issues but I'll see how the next few chapters come along before I write about it just incase it's more of a mind set thing and not a writing thing. I will say that sex scenes are hard.Especially when they're supposed to highlight the mind set of the characters as well as show a connection, pretty sure I suck at it but at the same time it was fun and I'm looking at it all as practice, lol. Prologue is below, there is some violence and sex though I don't think it's too explicit. I understand if it's not your thing but I do hope you guys enjoy it!

So I think I've figured out why this chapter is so hard for me. Part of the reason is because I want it to end well. I want it to be true to the tone and the characters that I've created while being realistic based on the situation, but the other reason is because I've been overthinking it and focused only on this story. When I was reaching the end of WDC, I was already starting to work on IWOAK, and with one of the other novels I finished (it wasn't posted on FP, at lest not the finished product) I had been working on WDC and it alternately whenever I got stuck on one. And when that didn't work I drew or painted or had some other form of creative outlet. This time around I've been working only on IWOAK and sometimes FFYT or trying to work on CHOICES with all other stories being put on the backburner or I haven't been writing at all, not seriously. I haven't even really drawn/painted anything in a while.  I've decided to just write the short ...
