I don't want to recycle anything, because the story was completely unbalanced. One of the three themes was overshadowing the other two tremendously. I want to balance them out, however, so every theme takes roughly a third of the story. I wouldn't know about sibling banter, since I'm an only child. ...

Well, thanks to being sick I was finally able to complete the story at about 100k words. I'll scrap all of it, though. The ending was indeed perfect and just like I wanted it to be. But the character progression seemed completely off. Just like you warned me about. Anyhow, I'm currently back at squa...

That's not quite it. I still want to write the previously envisioned story and I know mostly what I want in it. The thing is, I realized that the other themes are equally interesting to write about. Therefore I can't seem to stop, which leads to an overly bloated ending. I'll make it part of the act...

Damn, I just realized your warning about writing the ending first was right on spot. But in another way. The "ending" is slowly becoming the actual story, while the story I envisioned seems ever more like just a tiny missing link. Right now, about 23k out of roughly 33k words are dedicated to said e...

Well, in that case my worries may turn out to be just, but as long as you can actually come up with said scenes it shouldn't be a problem. It is for some people and for some it isn't. Only you and your experience can be the judge of that. In that case, only time will tell, I guess. Thanks for the w...

I usually write scenes as they come to mind. So no, I don't have clear pictures about them. I do however have the character-progression rolled out in my head. Her decisions and actions that lead to her discoveries. I just need to write scenes around them. Most importantly, the ending is halfway done...

I actually intended to not be clear about whether she was truly asexual. At least not from the get-go, as it is an integral part of the story. After all it's about her finding it out herself. But I guess that's a vain attempt in the concept phase. In the past days, whenever I wasn't writing, I was g...

Hey! I'm currently trying to come up with some decent plot for a VN. Or rather I already have the plot rolled out in my head. But I'm not sure about it and would love to hear some outside thoughts. Here's the plot in a nutshell: It's about 16 year old Hannah, an apparently asexual girl trying to com...

I'm writing stuff all the time. Recently I got into VNs. They're a powerful medium, if you're willing to invest the time. My first attempt was a hilarious failure. I tried to make a multichapter fantasy drama with lots of decisions and options. Needless to say, I dropped it, as it was way too ambiti...
