Fearless [Arc II] Day 53 (Sharing)
I am vacillating whether or not to share parts of this story in progress. I already have some excerpts on this blog, of course, but they're more draft-y, and they don't really tell much of the story. What I'm considering is posting the first (mostly-complete) chapter somewhere. I had a brief conversation about it with a reader of my fan fiction, who suggested it might help drum up interest...but I'm so far from the publishing stage, right now. Would it be misleading to start posting chapters and whatnot now? Or would it, as he says, build excitement for the finished product?
I think I'm probably over-thinking this. I'm also likely being super-optimistic that anyone is going to want to read this at all, when I'm ready to send it for publishing. Still, it's something to consider, I suppose.
Right now, I'm in a section of the story that I'm hoping is fulfilling from both a romantic and a realistic perspective. Not a lot of people think of "romance" in the same way that I do (read: with a healthy dose of sex), but, like 1 More Chance! was, this story is for myself, first. And a big part of Ross's identity has to do with his highly sexual nature. So, that's the way the story goes.
And besides, I like it.
