One of These Days - A 'Bricks in the Wall' Update · 3:27am Aug 13th, 2014
So, it’s been awhile since the last chapter. I was getting them out at a pretty steady rate for a long time, and now it’s been almost five months since and still nothing is even remotely ready.
I won’t lie, I haven’t been feeling like writing this, or any, story for the longest time. I have everything mapped out and planned in my head, but when I go to type down words everything grinds to a halt. I've tried. I've sat down, and just stared at my screen, typed a sentence, and was done for the day. It’s been horrible.
I do love this story, but I really just want to see it done, you know? It's so fun to write, except I can't manage to bring myself to do so. I will finish it one day, hopefully within the year, but probably not.
On that note, the next time this story updates, it’ll be with the next three chapters. It’s been so long that that writing the next chapter has turned into the next three. I've resolved to finish all three before I publish the next, so that means, whenever that happens, all that will be left is the final chapter. And that will probably end up taking just as long to write as anything.
Don’t hold your breath for anything. (Unless you’re underwater. Hold your breath for that.) Things will happen soon enough and I’ll probably end up knocking out these chapters in the space of a few days. Who knows?
Well, as long as it ends with a happy (or as happy as possible) ending, I'll be happy.
Take your time mate.
Absolutely take your time. Don't rush yourself. Just let it come to you unforced.
I'm in the same boat with my writing buddy. It sucks, but sometimes that's just the way it is. When you do finish I'll be happy to read it, this story is still awesome!

It'll be a pretty happy ending, I think . At the very least it'll be more substantial and satisfying of an ending than either the album or the movie. I never cared very much for how they ended.
2367872 Well, in the case of the album, I think Roger Waters ran out of time, and simply hadn't planned an ending.
Then in the movie, I'm supposing that the visual metaphor of the kids picking up bricks from the wall is to imply that Pink tore down the wall, but utterly destroyed himself in the process, leaving nothing behind but the bricks (i.e. the things that defined him)

Yeah. I mean, I get both what both endings were trying to convey and all, but I've just never felt like they were a good end for the story and character. I don't know. I do like the song though.
My ending will certainly be longer, and actually conclude things.
