Description
Un tempo, vedevo gli angeli volare alti nel cielo, luminosi come le stelle, capricciosi come le fiamme delle candele, imprevedibili come il fuoco di un incendio indomato.
Liberi. Ora vedo solo buio, e i loro contorni si fanno scuri e sfocati, figli dell’ombra e dell’oscurità.
Angeli caduti.
Long ago, I used to see angels fly high in the sky, bright as stars, capricious as the flickering light of candles, impredictable as the flames of an unconquered fire.
Free. Now all I see is darkness, and their shapes are becoming blurred and obscured, sons of shadow and gloom.
Fallen angels.
(This is from a work in progress... I haven't even thought about the title! )

Oh! I love how it looks like he's wearing fabric made out of the night sky!!

He is, in fact! He's son of the stars, you know...

Is that raven his friend? (I have a pet bird too! ^-^)

Ah, well, I drew it as a symbol of his wish of death, because usually ravens represent graveyards and such things, but since he's one of those who created the world, of course he's his friend... But he has no pet, sadly, only his pain and folly to keep him company...

Aww, but surely someone will keep him company someday, right?

Well, someone used to... but she made a great mistake and paid with her life for it. He knew nothing about it, yet he blamed himself for not being able to save her... And so he went mad, completely, and wandered the land for centuries... Before finally resolving on destroying the world they had created.
But since he's the great antagonist of the story, he is not allow to have a happy ending, I'm afraid... Not in this story, anyway.

Awh, let's hope he gets through alive at least!

Uhm, that I can't really say...It would be a spoiler, and I didn't even write the ending yet... Since I tend to turn things upside down quite a lot, I could tell you 'yes' or 'no' and in a week or two it wouldn't be true anymore.

LOL, I know the feeling! I can't talk in much detail about my stories because I'm always changing things, and people get confused really quickly! But you don't have to tell me anything if it's a spoiler. I can wait. ^-^
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Ahahahah, me too, always changing, and sometimes I even get confused myself! But it'll be a long wait, for I have to finish it, then translate it... It'll take a while LOL

Oh yes, novels can get so overwhelming! Eek!! I'm hoping I can finish mine, but it needs to go through a lot more edits. T-T

Well, editing can be fun! Unless you do it a hundred times... Ahahhaha

It's fun when you do the first few read-overs, finding all the errors... but after a while....

Yeah, with my first novel (which, mind you, I will gladly rewrite... and we will, as soon as we have time) we got to a point where we couldn't stand reading anymore! LOL. But after a loooong pause... it got better.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah, I got to that point a few times... I even told my family I was giving up on it! >_< But of course, the feeling faded and when I re-read it it wasn't as bad as I imagined. I didn't know back then that if you just take a long break it will get better. I've finished my second draft and I'm hoping my third one will be my last one! It will be sooo weird when it's over because I've been working on it for the past seven years! (I wrote it once and almost finished it, and my computer malfunctioned and deleted it, so I started it again from scratch, and then I didn't like where it was going, so I started again.... Thus the insane amount of time. -_-)
Is it really easier to write your second novel after your first? I always hear about that.

How did you survive when your computer deleted EVERYTHING? Sometimes I lose a chapter or two, and it's a TRAGEDY... But the WHOLE THING??
Well, I guess if you're writing the second novel of a saga, it's a lot easier, yes, because you already have the world and its rules well explained, everything is set and so are the characters... Creating a new novel with a new world is slightly more difficult... But I think it's a matter of 'self-esteem'. You wrote a novel. You can do anything. You feel a lot more sure about how you write, and you've started creating your own style and all...
I think that might sum it up. When we finished the first novel I was a little sad, but since it's from a four book saga, I had the second to think about and distract me. That's why it's taking me longer to write my other story (this one, with the angel): because I know that when it's over it's over... There will be only one book.

Oh, I remember the day, it was sometime in 2011 when it died.... At first I had the attitude of, "Oh it was just a stupid story I was writing..." I never told anyone I had been writing a novel at that point, so nobody missed it, right? It took a day to really just sink in and then I started crying and I just felt like screaming- That's also when my Mom found out I had even been writing a novel in the first place, I could imagine how confused she was! And then I tried EVERYTHING I knew of to fix a corrupted computer file, but no... I still have the files, but just it's a garbled mess of text. I was so upset, but there was nothing I could do. So I just started from scratch. I got a new computer for Christmas that year, and even though I used to tell myself that it was just a novel, I really felt that I just had to write it. (I still have the awful computer, with the awful glitches, the broken files and everything to remind myself to make many backups online, offline and on external hard drives. T-T)
I still get upset about it, but whenever I look at other things I wrote from that time I realize that I've improved as a writer, and that maybe it was for the best because I learned from it in a way.
I'm not sure if I should write a sequel for my novel or not, so I'm thinking of putting all my effort toward a comic instead. (The brothers and the witch! ^-^) But I know I will miss my characters from my first novel no matter what, so I know what you mean about your story. I even miss writing during those times when I can't re-read my novel anymore because I'm so sick of it!! So maybe doing a hybrid of artwork and writing will be really refreshing, fun and distracting while I wait to do my third draft!

I totally agree with you... Yesterday I was re-reading a piece I had once lost and re-written from scratch, and I kept asking myself 'what was the original like?' 'was it better?' 'what if I never lost it in the first place?' I'm quite sure the new version is an improvement, because it's more recent, but still the question was nagging mmy mind, really! I hate it when I can't read the 'original' versions. Like, I have sometimes two, three older versions of the same chapter, and even if they are of no use, I need to have them there so I can keep an eye on how much I change my mind...

I know, I keep wondering if I captured a lot of the feelings that the old one had. And now I'll never know... -_- I think I never even got to write a lot of scenes that used to be important to me because I've forgotten them. (Darn memory!!! T-T)
I have several junk copys of every scene in my story in a folder that I (rather unkindly) named "trash", it's terrible because it's a disorganized mess with tons of files in it, but I have to keep all the old stuff to refer to it, especially if it has parts that I cut out or drastically changed. Parts that I cut out might even end up back in the novel, because for some odd reason, it fits really well in a random other spot! Even if it was written for a completely different situation... LOL It's so weird sometimes.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yes it is weird! And really, when I re-write I scene, I'm sure I improved the tecnique, but I'm always left to wonder weather I did well with emotions, feelings, intensity... Personally I know the difference between a good piece and a bad one only when I go either 'Wow did I really think that? How?' or 'What the hell is this, it's all wrong!' There's no in-between... Like sometimes I read stuff written three years ago and laugh at the way I used to put things... As if the words don't really fit with what I was trying to say. LOL I freak myself out when I find old things that I really shouldn't look over...

I always cringe when I read some of my old writing! >_< Some of it is so awkward and ugly when I read it, and I get this terrible "Eeeeeek! Why did I look at this?!" feeling inside.
I hate editing when I never know if I'm making it any better or not. Sometimes it's obvious what I have to do, and sometimes I can't even figure out what's wrong with my writing even though I can tell there's something wrong. And even worse, if I change just a few words, it can change the emotion of an entire scene! It's hard to figure out sometimes.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
It is... And it's tricky too: Sometimes when I edit I feel like I shouldn't change too much, and so wait a few days and I have to do it all over again because the edit was 'weak'. Like, I know I should change/cut this, but I'm too fond of it/I love the emotions and I just don't. I wait. Then eventually I do edit... But I Wasted sooo much time in the process!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I feel like I'm not doing the recent edit I did it right because there were long parts that I didn't change at all! I don't know if it's because there's nothing wrong with certain parts or if there IS something wrong and I just can't see it- the uncertainty is awful!
And I know what you mean, there were parts I just absolutely LOVED in my story, but I had to take them out because they just don't fit anymore. Even whole characters never found their way back in. And I had to replace them all with weaker, lesser scenes that made more sense... *sigh*

It's quite a pain when you cut off a character... But after all it's for a 'greater good' right? But I think editing gets difficult because when you're writing you feel inspiration and stuff, you are galvanized I would say, and then you look back and see just how much it needs changing so it's a little sad...
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I know! I always get this feeling when I go over it and edit again, like, "oh I have so much to do! Just look at this mess I've made here..." It's so easy to lose motivation! I'm really hoping I can get my story to read well through the third big edit. And maybe, just maybe if it's good enough I can get an agent/publisher to pick it up! ^-^

I'm sure you will! But when it's finished it's wonderful (if you don't think about the END) You feel so Fond of what you wrote...
The secret is viewing editing as a personal growth (well, easier said than done, that's sure)
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Oh, I will miss it when it's done! And like I said, I think my next draft will be my final draft... T-T I suppose you're right, editing is personal growth- clearing things so they start to make sense not only to yourself but to others! And by editing I'm also learning what NOT to write next time! LOL! You're so awesome to have finished a novel and to be writing more, it's really nice to talk to another writer!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
It is nice, right? I think writing is like a drug, once you start you want more and more and more... The same as reading, one book is not enough. This might seem a little (a lot) cliché, but I find it very true. And words(or new worlds...) flow easier once you get the hang of it! My dream is to write something real, something connected with our world and our problems and our heroes... But I guess I will need a lot more experience in life for that. LOL

My Mom compared writing to a drug when I was whining to her about how I wanted to write even though I was taking a break LOL! It's funny that you said the same thing!
I started writing because I really wanted to convey the different characters, feeling and images that got stuck in my head. I had very vivid images of what the world was like and the character's relationships. (But very vague ideas of the plot.) I don't think I got it to be the way I originally wanted it to be at all, but I did get something interesting in return! It's hard for me to write and have it be the same as I imagined it in my head, but I think I'm getting better at it. I suppose my main goal is to show the things that I see in my mind's eye- but different readers always get completely different mental images! It's hard... >_<

That's how I start new stories, too! Sometimes I get flashes of this new creature, and if it gets stuck in my head and keeps popping in and out, then I'm most likely to develop it... I think drawing might be a little more immediate than writing, because when I think about a scene, it's like watching a mental movie, that I later have to put into words. If it were for me I would spend a lot more time writing, but there's school to think about, and stuff...
Well it's much better than any other drug, isn't it? It's creative, fun, helps you grow... (Now it sounds like I'm making an advert... LOL)

I know! I remember I used to listen to music and I would just imagine all these movie-like scenes and I remember thinking, "I've got to write this down!" I think artwork is wonderful too, and it makes my mental images more real to me than when I write them. (85% of my artwork is novel related, but I'm afraid of posting anything in case there's copyright issues if I try to get my novel published... T-T) I'm not a good enough artist to do a lot of the things I think of sadly.... -_- It's like writing, and sometimes my art is never quite like it is my mind, although it still turns out being interesting.
Ah, writing is such an addiction! And sometimes I feel like I spend waaaay too much time writing when I should be doing other things... it eats up so much time. But it can be so much fun! XD
