Description

Christmas Gift 6

My gift to an old friend, :iconmicronconvoy:

Ah, Bleak Divinity. My only regret is that this won’t mean much to most people. There’s probably only two or three people besides the requester who will recognize any of this.

So, allow me to explain. Bleak Divinity is my first work of fiction from nearly ten years ago. It was the story I wrote to break out into writing. Unfortunately, I never finished it and went on to create about… oh, fifty more works of fiction that I would also never finish.

About a year ago, I reread the first 80 or so pages that I’d written. For something written by a fifteen year old, it was pretty impressive storytelling, but it suffered lackluster writing and more than a few plotholes. But I DO have a small cult following that’s been demanding I finish it for the past decade, so I guess it can’t be that bad. And now much older, I can’t help but see how much I’ve evolved as a storyteller.

And since rereading it last year, I’ve been tweaking it a GREAT DEAL to where it’s a much different story from what it once was: characters and plotpoints were added, removed, altered, etc.. I think it’s now near perfect. I’m happy with it. Exceedingly happy. In fact, consider this my official announcement: when I complete “Lavender Town” (because I WILL complete it), Bleak Divinity will be my next project. Just take note that this is a VERY different story from Lavender Town.

I’m all for commentary and questions if anyone has any!
