It appears that I have come across a rather shocking discovery. Holy shit writting a book is hard. With Lord of the Serpants I am half way into writting chapter seven and it really isn't flowing out into docs very easily like it did in the beggining. I have a few other ideas that I have started but put off to try and keep up with weekly posting. End of year exams are coming up and I really want to achieve level one endorced with excellence which I am so close to getting as well as a few level two subjects and IGCSE exams for other subjects thrown in too. School is starting to put the pressure on and keeping up with weekly updates is getting difficult and not allowing me to really edit things. Harry is an exceedingly complex character and trying to build him up from nothing is, who would have thought, really hard. Starting a story from the middle of Rowlings work is a lot easier because characters have a base to work with and only need a few tweaks here and there. I never planned on doing the philosiohers stone and chamber of secrets the same as cannon if it makes you feel better. It was going to be durastically different and I like to think my ideas would make Harry not overly powerful as well as preventing him being incredibly lucky and weak with no aense of self preservation. I was actually going to skip to fourth year train ride in chapter seven and do some flash backs for the key parts of years 1,2 and three. I think I over did my expectations for Harry and didn't really give a good first impression of him. He was supposed to be a very dual faced kind if kid that gives a happy face to everyone making him liked by all but is really quite lonely. He was never going to form deep friendships with anyone except Fleur. Harry would have an extreme hatred for bullies and be incapable of feeling strong emotions due to his up bringing. Fleur would be the only one who understood him having been shunned and then lusted for because of her veela heritage making her lonely and isolated. Even she was difficult to wrote just their first meeting to make Harry recognise at least partly she was like him but not make her weak. Making complex characters practically from scratch is so difficult and you don't really appreciate the work that goes into those that successfully do it untill you try it yourself so hats off to all thise that did a great job of making story characters.

End of story is that I will be trying to finish any story I publish on here before making any updates. The oressure to update a story means I end up rushing it and doing a shitty job which means shitty chapters get posted and the whole story turns into one shitty, confusing mess and a huge waste of time and effort. I hope I can finish this story and the planned following two books. I'd also like to say a huge thanks to the 343 followers, 195 favourites and the 37 reviews from 15 different people and guests. Hopefully I can come back soon and delete this or maybe the entire thing and post a complete story but only lady fate could tell us, sadly I am not in contact with her (maybe asked a seer, they could probably tell you.)
