Pre-NaNoWriMo Jitters

I have been looking forward to writing this project for so long, now that it's only a few days away, I'm trembling with anxiety. I'm so excited to be finally starting this project which will be a major step forward in my "writing" career. After this, I only have one more big story that I feel that I "must" write before I can ever move on to bigger things.

But at the same time, I've imagined myself writing this project for so long and now that it's becoming a reality, it's seems almost too much for me to handle. This project is a story that I've repeated to myself in my mind many times, and now that I'm taking out the story out of the ether and giving it physical form on paper, it's flaws and holes become apparent. How do I get Sweetie Belle to X? How does Rarity find out Y? Wait, what would cause X to have a change of heart at this part of the story?

I've been plotting out this story, writing notes, and making charts of how things will play out, and that's been helping me calm down. But walks - long walks with just my thoughts - no music or phone - really have been helping filling in the gaps.

It's only two and a half days away.

Wish me luck.
