Slams Head to Desk: Frustrations of a Writer

I posted two chapters recently, as I'm sure any readers of the blog have seen.

First, I posted Part Twenty Two of The Properties of a Rose, and it has only two reviews. And I've gotten a lot less reviews from my usual reviewers than I normally do, even though I'm updating more regularly/frequently lately.

Then I posted Chapter Seven of Closer to Heaven Above, and I've not gotten a single review for it. I just don't understand. I don't understand not having at least a few reviews. I know that Percy/anyone isn't exactly a big pairing in fanficiton, but I would like to know how I'm doing from those who do enjoy Percy/Audrey.

It's frustrating because I have no idea how I'm doing if no one tells me. Besides, it really dampens my spirits. Luckily I'm a little bit ahead in both stories (at least a chapter ahead in writing each), but I don't feel motivated to edit those chapters with the little responses I'm getting. :( I just want to know what people think, that's all. :/

Do you think maybe I posted at a bad time? Is there an effective time to post? A time that that maybe helps us get more reviews?

Ugh.

Yours & Frustrated,
Kate/RP

Writing Up A Storm!

Well, I've just been writing up a storm lately! :)

I'm proud to say that I just wrote what I think, after editing, will be a very good oneshot. It's Sev/Lily, though it's angst more than romance, and one-sided romance at that. Anyway, it's kind of a songfic, though really the song is only used to tie the end to the beginning.

As soon as the queue is reopened, I will try to update a current WIP, and then post this darling little oneshot! :)

Yay!

Progress, How I Love Thee!

I definitely wrote a full chapter today, just for the heck of it. The Properties of a Rose, Part 24 is re-written from the load of dung I wrote before, and it is now so so so much better! :) I can't wait to post it for you all; I feel like it has really accomplished some of my goals and is setting up room for the others to be accomplished in the future.

Yay for progress! :)

Anywho, just wanted to update you all on my progress with the fic, as I am rather proud to have some chapters ready to post as soon as the staffers are back from their much deserved holiday!

Thanks, and please check back soon for news of an update!

xox,
Kate/RP
