Umm...*casually sidles into thread*

I'm working on draft 1.5 of my high fantasy WIP, but feeling pretty depressed with it. I'm wondering if I should start working on another project that as of the moment interests me more, but if I do that I'm afraid I'll never finish this story.... I just want to finish something, dammit!

Hi bickazer! Good to see you. It was after our conversation that I decided to do a Nanowrimo this month. I need a push over the finish line.

I'm afraid my self-discipline isn't as good as yours - I'm still polishing and expanding on material I wrote last night. But when it gets late enough and my critical judgement has fallen asleep I'll crank out a ton of wordage.

I'm going slow.

This scene is introducing Scarlett's family... over dinner.

ETA: Thank God, I'm on the 32nd page.

Woot! Just passed the 2.2K mark.

Think I'll take a break, do some reading, and get started on my homework. I've been putting it off for a while now.

Hey Ally!

My SNI is doing well considering the fact that it's a genre that I have never written before.

I have an urge to rewrite Invincible/Firework... or work on an SNI I had ages ago. Not good.

Tired + no inspiration, so randomly beginning a new story.

We'll see how this goes. *fingers crossed*

Wow Ely! That's awesome!

I wish I could compete with someone. I really need the motivation. Except I can't decide which WIP I want to work on.

Congrats Ely!

Wow, I am making great progress with this new story. Already 1100 words in and started writing less than an hour ago!

Guess I really did need to take a break from that major project of mine. XD
