Change is comming

I've been here for a while but things have changed over that year and a half, I changed, and I'm going in a different direction now.
I'm determined to get published, no matter how many years of hard work it takes me. I know its foolish and such but I have to try. That dream was at the back of my mind for years now, four, five, maybe more? After all I started my first novel, a detective thriller when I was around twelve. Lets just say the plot was not something a normal twelve year old should come up with... BUT it never went past the first five chapters, although I did have the whole thing perfectly planned. Still, it just shows how much I craved... to be heard.
That's one of the reasons why I set up ~armed-with-a-pen This gallery looks too clustered, too messy and not professional enough, you can't find my decent works. Even I have difficulty finding anything in that mess. So I was thinking of a major reorganising.
Originally, I though I would store my best Lit work on ~armed-with-a-pen and all best Visual on ~cadmium-hues BUT keeping two accounts up to date proved to be a challenge and ~cadmium-hues proved itself to be an utter, neglected failure. So what I though I could do is remove all the written pieces from public view, the main gallery and leave them here in one folder so all you could see was photography [mainly] unless you were looking for something specific.

I know I have went on for too long, and I'm sorry but what I really want to know is what you think of this idea and why exactly do you watch me to start with. So since, in a way, I do want to do what you'd like, what do you think I should do with this?

Oh, and it might sound like I don't pay much attention to photography from all this 'getting published is my lifetime dream' talk but it is very important to me too. And I will be doing it, probably till the die I die, knowing the odds. But I realise that no matter how much I improve I won't make it with my camera and it doesn't matter that much what I think about it. Nonetheles its a passion, I'm not going to give up, and you'll be seeing a lot of photography from me, hopefully on this account.

To do list:

:star:Catch up on all art trades and requests.
:star:6 word story contest entry.[3 of JULY]

Edit and post photoshoot pics. [Editing: 80% Posting: about 10% done]

:bulletred:Prod Dan about Judging so I could release full results!!

Well maybe you should just stick with one account. You can make different folders and somehow organise it like that.

And if you like photogrphy as well then there's no need to give it up (not that you said that). It can just be a hobby on the side, so you can do that when you have the spare time and don't have to be in any rush.

I have a problem where I always start stuff and never finish it >.< Really annoy myself because of that sometimes. lol

Wish you all the best with the novel!

Bang! Fashion.
:iconcouragemasquerade:
can I make a helpful suggestion? get someone who really likes reading what you write and give them each chapter as you write it. they'll be so interested that you'll want to keep writing. just make sure it's someone who can give good critique if they find something they don't like. it's working like a charm for me.

It was anti climactic, period.
:iconkibirkstele:
Yeah, I do understand that but also, this account doesn't attract the audience I'm aiming for, and the other one did, in a day! It really made me think things over...
Yet, one account is a lot easier to maintain in check and up to date, so in a way, your suggestion would be an easier way out...

Would you be annoyed though, if my work would be splattered over two accounts and would you bother reviewing it?

I used to be just like that, still am except I go further with stuff.
Like over 19 chapters of "Between the Lines". But I tried to write the 20th and picked up a block along the way...
Or Static, with around 7 chapters [about a half of the story].

Thanks a mil dear!
Good luck with finishing things! :hug:

Stick with one I think
It's a lot easier that way I think...
Plus...for those people who are really interested in your work on your other page, just send them a link to this one explaining why?
I think it's be better for you in the long run just make sure everything is organized properly so you can find everything =]
and you can do everything so you may make it with photography too
....you never know
=]
Being negative never helped anyone =D
And plus you're still young, very young so don't kill yourself thinking about all this too much
You have to take the time to enjoy too
=[
and you said I was a bad influence
=P

:iconkibirkstele:
Lol, I'd say it would work, but the people that wouldn't be pissed off after a few pieces are those who aren't brilliant in English...

Thanks. :hug: You really saved this account, and I'm already starting to get organised and it doesn't look THAT bad anymore. :)
So yeah, you can't be called a bad influence from now on :)

Yes ma'am :salute:

You are being negative about your work too though, and you're good!
