So, school starts this coming Tuesday. Do I want it to? No, not really. I liked having some time to myself when I wasn't at work, time not occupied with projects and essays and reading for school. And sure, each class is only 3 hours a piece, at most, but I'll be in class four days a week, with two on Tuesday, and the rest of the time I'll likely be at work. I know it's only a three year course, I'm glad that there's only one more year after this and I know I can make it, I just really don't want to have to put the effort into it.
I managed to get ten chapters done on Faeriestone, a far cry from my original goal (to finish it before school started up again) but a good start all the same. And this time I'm happy with how the chapters have turned out, as well as how the characters are sounding; Amaria is actually coming off as a socially-awkward, bitter young woman, rather then the stuck-up brat that changed much to quickly in the first draft. Things are progressing in a realistic fashion, instead of just jumping from one important bit to another, and Raisk has become the enigmatic, charming asshole that I'd originally wanted him to be. At the moment, I honestly have no idea how long FS is going to end up being; the original plan was twenty chapters, but at ten chapters and not even being halfway through the plot, that's not going to happen.
The main problem? My Ama muse has been going strong, canon wise, all summer, until this last week when a new Tera muse decided to wake up and take over. With this new muse came a lot of questions, and a lot of ideas, for a new story. Not just a one-shot, a complete, full-length fanfiction, alike TAE in length but not so much in subject matter. The main question it works with is 'What if Jak had never gone back to Sandover?' Certain things would not happen, certain characters would either not become what they are in the games, or would likely not appear at all, and other events would become a possibility.
So now I'm not quite sure what to do. Along with school, and still wanting to do that calender project I'd mentioned on DA, I don't know if I can handle writing both. And while FS is meant to (hopefully) be published and should be more imporant, the Jak story would be more for me, for fun, so I'm not sure what to do. As is, I work in about an hour and can't do anything yet anyways, so it's irking me.
I hate my muses sometimes.
