~::HERES WHY DREAM CATCHER HASNT STARTED YET::~
one day like a couple weeks ago I was like going to the movies or something so I decided to work on Dream Catcher in the car ride because I was bored or some shït like that. it turned out great. I essentially finished the first chapter* and by the time I got to the movie, I felt pretty confident that I would only need to add a few paragraphs and then I'd be able to post it.
flash forward the next day, and I'm at my laptop and I pull up Wattpad. I open the chapter and literally nothing I typed on my phone the day before saved. that's when I realized I closed the Wattpad mobile app without saving my draft, so I lost everything. this got me really angry and I wanted to smash my laptop with my phone and destroy both of them along with setting the Wattpad servers on fire. obviously I didn't do any of those things but I did lose my drive to work on that chapter and because of that, Dream Catcher hasn't started yet and I don't know when it will.
*the key point here is "first chapter". when I get a story plan in my head and map it out completely, I end up writing the chapters insanely out of order. Lived A Lie for example, the last two chapters and a major chapter that happens mid-story is basically complete, but the next chronological chapter is nowhere near done. for Dream Catcher, I know exactly how I want to start the story, but I was having a hard time writing it out. so even thought I have made essentially no progress on the first chapter, the rest of it is coming along nicely.
