Wysteria Blend

WysteriaI learned that no matter how great your ideas are, good writer or not, you can't help but experience the so-called writer's block. An amateur, trying-to-be, aspiring novelist that I am, I just wrote myself into one... again!
Three, or maybe four years, ago, I started writing this story. It was meant to be a fan fiction of my favorite video game of all time, Wild Arms, with traces of ideas from my favorite author, Tamora Pierce. However, I became so inspired to write, since Bam and Wappy were playing Wild Arms 2 at that time, so it evolved into my very own novel instead.
Only recently did I let anyone read what I have written so far. Three years have passed since I've begun this book and yet I only have 8 chapters. Why? I've been writing then stopping, writing again then stopping. I realized that each time I stopped, I suffered from writer's block.
I'm happy about what I've done so far. Bam likes it. Heck, even Ate Pebs got hooked into it so, to be humble, it's probably not boring. To think, when I relayed my ideas to Bam and Wappy for the first time, they laughed at me. Thanks to two, though, I've been getting ideas left and right on what should happen next without them really knowing what exactly will happen next.
To cut the long story short, when I get over this current writer's block of mine and finish my book (give me another year probably), please read it. And Bam and Wappy, no thanks for laughing at me at first but you'll both be in my acknowledgments when I launch Wysteria. (Btw, they laughed at that name too.)
