Wonderful memories

I've been doing some clean up work around my dA page and I recently found myself going through my old journal entries. They're mostly from the early days of writing Grimoire (which is being professionally published in 2016!) when I was excitedly documenting every aspect of my writing process. I know it sounds cliché, but those journals feel like they were written by a totally different person.

I kind of miss it. It was a motivating experience. I've tried to get back into the process of documenting my writing experiences, but I simply don't have the audience I did when I was doing Grimoire. So, writing journals has become sort of a sad experience because I put them out there and nobody reads or cares. I'm okay with that now. I've gotten through Guul'Zaroth with almost no feedback and I'm closing in on finishing it very soon. But it just felt different.

Writing Grimoire was a joyful experience I never wanted to end, while producing Guul'Zaroth has been long and sobering for the most part. I'm still happy with my work and I still enjoy writing it, but it's lacking a fundamental satisfaction I got from doing Grimoire. Maybe I'll do more journals and see where it goes. Hopefully my next book can generate some readers, but until then I'm just proud of myself for finishing my third novel. Thanks for reading.
