monday.

I'm not dead, there's just been a lot. I'm not gonna get into it. Important point: I'm not dead. Let's have a fresh start instead.



Because November is approaching, just two(-ish) more days to go and there'll be kick-off writing parties both at my local library and online in the evening. I've been through a lot of ideas and ended up discarding them all, having now landed on a (surprise) original idea - as in, not fanfiction, all ideas are, of course, original to some extend - for the first time in a couple of years.

New default icon thanks to that.

( About loving the France I know and being indifferent to the France I don't... Also, a lot of writing talk, feel free to skip. )

Anyway, that is my plan for November. I am going to "pants" this novel into fruition, which means I'll write the start I have in mind, not worry too much about planning the rest and just write stuff as it occurs to me. It'll probably be messy and unstructured and the first draft is no doubt going to be chaos, but that is a learning experience, too, and it's not like I'm going to show this story to anyone except my girlfriend anyway, haha. She is forgiving of my messes and I can afford not to be too perfectionistic or pedantic with her. She can take it.

The question is, can I?



I've picked this icon by bemybrokenheart for this post, because I hope the Arc de Triomphe will spiral me to NaNo victory and triumph with this story. If not, well, it's a very pretty icon.

That's it, people. This is me, being back. Hope you missed the endless rants about writing and story-developing and character gushing. If not, I don't know how to help you.
