The latest in my “Writing my…” series that I’ve just now called it and will never call it again as I’m already running out of things to talk about.
Gang wars, the thing that started it all. I enjoyed Gang wars. It was meant to be 18 chapters and they were all planned out. So why did it end?
Well, I can’t say. It didn’t really need to end. The reason I gave at the time was that I didn’t enjoy writing it, and that’s true. I had trouble writing it. I could probably go back now and continue it, and it’ll probably turn out just like it normally would have. But let’s just talk about what was shown.
If you don’t know what Gang Wars is, it is a little web novel, and the first web novel that I released (and the second I’d ever written). You can read what remains of it on this blog.
I was happy with a lot of it, the characters were cool and the world was interesting. I was happy with all that. I was proud of it as it was only my first or so attempt at creating a web novel type thing. I haven’t read back the chapters so they probably suck but my memories of it are good (so maybe that’s a good thing?)
As I write this, I do feel as if I want to return to that world. But I won’t. I won’t because I’m taking a more relaxed take on things. Before, I had several series running at once. Currently, I have 1 (The story of the hero named Fishy) and that is probably going to go on for a while.
I also had plans to rework the whole idea of Gang Wars under the title ‘Gang Wars Zero’. The first two chapters of that were completed a while ago and I kept reworking them as there were several parts I didn’t like about them. But, that won’t be released either.
Should I decide to come back to them and finish off Gang Wars, it’ll be when I am in a good mood with my writing.
I’m no professional. I have no formal training and I hardly even read. Everything I know is from me just doing it and listening to the occasional feedback I got (Only when I didn’t ignore the feedback). I just went with it.
My style of writing may not be “good” or “standard” but that doesn’t matter to me. In my eyes, this is all for fun. I never had any intention to go as long as I have, and I never expected to have written multiple stories and self-published some.
Ultimately, although I do like the characters and the story, the possibility of it returning is low. It’s not zero. But it’s low. I wrote up to chapter 6 so I’d only really need to write 12 chapters, all of which are planned out. When I word it like that, it seems doable. But for now, it’s at the back of my mind. With all that’s currently going on in the world, I should focus on my future. I still would like to do writing as a hobby, but for now, it’s taking a minor role in my life. Even my current web novel only gets 1 update a week and constant breaks.
I’m just trying my best to keep my life going.
I’ve also never formally mentioned it on this blog, but I have two little novella thingies on Amazon that you can buy or download as EBooks. They are what I’m calling “My attempt to keep writing”. They aren’t great, but they are something. I do plan to post some other stuff on Amazon so keep an eye out. I also guess the next chapter in this series will be about one of those EBooks. You can check them out here
Anyway,
Thanks for reading!
