NaNoWriMo Day 4 & 5

[lucathia]

I have hit a wall. Splat. Granted, I'm still in a better shape than I was last year when I was 8000 words behind on the 5th day because of not yet starting...but I quite deflated on Day 4 because I was only able to write 600 words that day. Day 5 went the same because of feeling down from Day 4, and I also decided that I should probably take out 900 words of my aimless writing (I moved it around though and stuck it at the end for deleting during the editing process, so I haven't removed it completely yet). I find my original writing so very boring. I currently can't seem to get myself excited about the story. Maybe a different beginning would help... but gahhh, this is exactly the type of stuff I'm not supposed to be thinking about during NaNoWriMo. Maybe I need a different mindset for this, since I feel like it took so much out of me to write 6k of original story when it doesn't feel like all that much when I write fanfic... I'm probably just stressing myself out. :'D

The plot is making itself a bit clearer to me now though. I just have to... get around to it.

I am happy that it's Daylight Savings this weekend. One extra hour! XD

Yu Wo posted teaser #6 yesterday, the last teaser for LSK. Grisia is so despicable in it, gosh. (Well, when the 8th rolls around, at least I get to happily buy LSK v8 even if my NaNo ends in disaster. XD;).

I know how that feels, absolutely NOTHING happens in my original fic. It's all dialogue and exposition and boring travel scenes BUT WHATEVER BECAUSE THAT BOOSTS THE WORD COUNT.

I finally broke 10k (it feels good even just to reach that point) but I'm still in the introduction. Whyyyyy. I want more stuff to happen! More action! Less talking and standing about doing nothing!

Saaaame, haha. Why does the set up take so long. There needs to be more explosions and awkward love affairs and battle sequences!
