Everyday From Right Now: Chapter 1

LINK: Everyday From Right Now: Chapter 1

As promised! The first chapter to Everyday From Right Now has been published!

As I've said before, I don't like doing huge and rambling author's notes, so this is where you'll get to see me go on and on in detail:

-- Compared to the other chapters I already have written, Chapter 1 is pretty short. About half the length of some other chapters. But I think that's usually expected for a first chapter, to set up the basic foundation of the story without giving it all away.

-- As for rating the fic, I've set it a K+ for now, but if some of the things I'm thinking of end up coming through, I may bump it up to T just to be safe. We'll have to see....

-- I can't stress enough how much I have tried to keep things original in my story. I knew it would be a challenge to write in the explosion of post-Deathly Hallows stories and to not appear to be taking ideas from other writers. This is why, again, as I've said, I've sort of removed myself from even reading fan fics lately. I didn't want to end up taking the same thing.

-- I also don't really like setting review quotas on my readers either, holding the next chapter hostage until I meet 50 or 60 reviews. Nope, I'm much more straight forward. I post one chapter each week, give or take a few days. That being said, Chapter 2 will be up no later than next Wednesday. For sure. :)
The only thing that will make me post earlier than that would, yes, be reviews, but not the number of them, the content of them. I'd much rather have 4 reviews that praise my style than 50 reviews that only say "ZOMGPOSTMOREIAMLIEKDYING." I want you to review my story because you are truly eager to see what else is in store, not so I can have a million reviews, you know?

-- This is also the first time ever that I have begun posting a story before the whole thing is done and written. I discovered early on that this story wasn't one that was fitting into my carefully laid plans, and I know even now that it's going to be fairly long. I would've been posting next year had I waited, lol! I have a stock of 10 chapters, so hopefully I don't end up without a chapter to post, especially when I love posting one a week without fail.


Well, there you have it. My first thoughts on my first chapter. Be sure to keep an eye on this blog a bit more now that a story has been started- I haven't decided yet, but I may do reader responses here so that they can be more thought-out. Also, I may be posting some teasers of the next chapter here as well! Those I'd probably do on Friday or Saturday....hmmmm. ;)

So, time flies! I must hurry and post the chapter before I have to go out and do errands for my mom. *sigh* The joys of life, competing with my writing for my attention.

Enjoy reading. And see you soon!
