Looking forward · 3:42am Oct 14th, 2013
One of the greatest feelings in the world is to wake up to 300+ notifications and a story in the featured box. My writing is far from perfect and I still have very much to learn and improve on, and to have people enjoy something as I'm learning the ropes makes the whole process more than just easy-- it makes it fun and rewarding and it gives me something to look forward to with every word that I write.
Thank you to my followers from before for being so patient with me.
Thank you to those who are new who are hopefully willing to be patient as I forage into new literary territory.
What do I mean by that? If some of you don't know, next month is National Novel Writing Month and I plan to participate in it. The challenge is to write 50,000 words of a novel in a single month; roughly 1,500 words a day. I will not be writing FanFiction during this month-- I'm planning to write something that I can show to my friends and family, something that I can appreciably connect myself to.
My plan to deal with that is to write two chapters of Heat Rises this month, or more if I can manage it. One I will release as soon as I finish it (here's hoping that's in the next day or two, I really want to try and get something I'm happy with while I'm still in the featured box if I can manage it), and one I'm going to keep on lockdown to release in November so the river isn't entirely dry while I'm working on my novel.
There is no end in sight for writing FanFiction for me. I still have so much learning to do and I would love for that learning to be shared with this community. I've got a story burning within me about Applejack and Spike and love and it's turning out to be very beautiful; I am very excited about sharing that with you, hopefully before the end of the year.
Keep it up!
