No More Malice

rynlingI did the last set of edits on Malice yesterday to tighten the language and fix a few stray typos. It took almost all day, from noon to eight in the evening, but I think everything turned out okay. I posted the last two chapters on FFN and moved the story folder into my digital archives.
I feel like I should do something to celebrate, but what I actually did was write the second chapter of the second story arc of The Demon King, as well as the first half of an original story based on the Poe Collector in Ocarina of Time.
I’m going to continue to post The Demon King on AO3 (with better initial editing this time around, hopefully), and what I’m going to do with the original story is this:
- finish it
- create a copy of the file
- edit it while pasting the serial numbers back on
- very quietly post that version on Tumblr and AO3
- return to the original version
- polish it based on my experience editing the fanfic
- submit that version to magazines
We’ll see how this works, I guess. The main thing is to be able to retain a sense of joy in writing by any means possible.
