So, the second week of NaNoWriMo 2008 has officially started. And I'm doing better than ever, having already written about a thousand words since midnight. I'm really starting to get into the story, and I still can't help but love it to little green and purple bits.
Y'know, before starting my NaNo project, I didn't think I could ever do decent original fiction or, in fact, any original fiction at all. I was afraid to be stuck to fan fiction forever.
Now, I certainly mean no disrespect to fan fiction. Hell, no! Some of my best friends are fanfic writers, and damn talented ones at that. Hell, I wish I could do with words what a lot of them can!
Still, I myself always wanted to be able to write original fiction in addition to fanfic stuff. But I kinda felt I needed the "real" people in order to be able to relate to the characters enough to make the story good.
Suddenly, I feel so much in touch with some of my main - original - characters it's almost silly. And writing scene after scene is at least as fun as watching a good movie.
I also keep getting hit with ideas upon ideas to keep the plot going, and some of the scenes I'm planning to do are so emotional and beautiful, they bring actual tears to my eyes. Wow, writing those will be weird ;)
Anyway. Woah. This is... SO awesome.
I think doing NaNo this year was one of the five best ideas I ever had in my life.
Er... yeah ^_^;;;
Ridiculously happy Jessy updating her wordcount to show off and then signing off for today XD
