Comment on The Moment I See Her Light

    Don't know how you do it.

    It takes me over ten days of writing kicking my ass to post a new chapter to my own fic and you pretty much post a new masterpiece in half the time. 😆

    Anyway, just wanted to say that I loved this.

    As always, you have talent.

      I think every writer has their own process, some people are slow and methodical, other people just have long pauses of nothing and then frenzies. I'm a frenzy person, I'm just slowly learning to control it 😬and always hoping I don't burn out.

      I love this one, glad to have you aboard for it!

        Just realized I kind of am the same about, I get bouts of inspiration and then slumps of inactivity.

        Although I am almost finished with chapter 3 to my own story. But you probably know how motivation can be hard when it seems like you're writing for none?

        I think I have bad timing with my postings as they all get drowned out by other Lightcannon stories. 😆

        I am curious to know what you'll think of it as I think my writing is much less coherent than yours, but I understand you have been busy.

        Anyway, I am looking forward to read what comes next from you.

        As always, you have talent.

          I do know exactly that 'writing for none' feeling and it's deeply shitty, I'm sorry friend :(

          I am going to read them, so you'll definitely have my eyes. It's been real hard to keep up, I have wanted to give yours proper commentary like you do for me so I have wanted to sit down with it and go through it and with Christmas and all that there's not been a moment :(

          Timings can be tricky, my AU timezone means mine are always weird. I also spam a lot on socials and chase down readers whenever I can find them, I am very self-promoting. I don't honestly know if it helps.

          Hang in there!

            I have been doing some self-promotion here and there, but it does feel a little awkward to do for me.

            And I understand how the holiday season can be hectic. 😅

            Also, I feel that I can spoil this little detail from my story, which was partially spurred on by your Spider-Verse crossover, but also my irrational irritation at people comparing Ekko with Miles Morales.

            So I basically modeled my version of Lux on Spider-Verse Gwen Stacy. Just don't think too hard on how convoluted that reference is. 😆

            Anyway, I am looking forward to the next Ill-Omen's chapter and the next installment in this series.

            Whichever you choose, know you have a happy reader.

              Self-promotion is a very awkward thing and some people do it naturally and easily and for others it's just not an enjoyable space to be in at all.

              I'm one of the latter, but I persevere with it because all I want is to get more eyes on my work so it can reach more people and hopefully touch more hearts / pill more people on Lightcannon 💛💙🫡.

              Haha Spiderverse-Gwen-Lux is an interesting parallel, only hope she doesn't sound so much like Hailee Steinfeld that Jinx gets the heebies.

              Take care and good writing!

                I am curious what Discords you are a part of since you have mentioned it before? 😆

                But yeah, I guess I just need to do it some more.

                Though after our previous conversation, I did go back and alter the summary to my story to better reflect the premise concerning the main characters.

                And yeah, I actually do mention in my notes that one shouldn't think too much about how "Gwen-Lux" would sound. 😆

                Though I think she Hailee Steinfeld gives Vi a more husky voice whereas her Gwen is closer to how she normally sounds.

                Also, as I am plotting out my story, I realized it will actually touch upon some similar themes regarding time travel. 😅

                Anyway, I look forward to what you have in store next. I don't know what would like more. A continuation of this series as I'd love to see your take on Isha, or a new chapter for Ill-Omen's.

                As always, you have talent.

                One last question, but do you think I should switch from using British English to American English in my writing?
