Day Of Nothing, Part The Second

I was going back and forth about whether or not I really wanted to do NaNo this year.

Well, I'm doing NaNo now, since I've got absolutely nothing else to do. I'm not as cool as [livejournal.com profile] colorwhirl, I didn't write almost 100,000 words in the first week, but I think my story is coming along acceptably.

I'm really into it, anyway. But that's just me and my escapism - of course I'm really into it.

At least it's giving me something to do, even if it's just torturing my NaNo characters.

I have a lot of respect for authors. Writing is hard. I'm doing a shit job with this story. The idea is all right, but I'm having trouble pacing it out and pulling it together. I guess I'm out of practice. I haven't tried to write original fiction in a very long time.
