writing again
9 Mar 2016 07:29 amI wrote 14,200 words yesterday.
I haven't been able to watch Netflix because I'm uploading my entire laptop to a backup site (Patrick's suggestion). I've been going crazy, wanting to rewatch The 100 for more fanfic inspiration. And I've been bored out of my mind. So yesterday, I gave myself permission to write for myself for pure entertainment. I imagined the last scene of the most recent episode and just ran with it. Twelve hours and 14k words later I'm about halfway through the story and still looking forward to writing more today.
I've always written fanfic with the intention of publishing it online eventually. This is completely different. Writing just for me has been freeing. I'm not worrying if my plot is too cliche or if I'm repeating the same word over and over (which I was and that's a pet peeve of mine, but screw it--this is just for fun). Maybe when I'm done, I'll get around to editing it and posting it if I feel like it. Maybe not. I will definitely have to force myself to write for my own amusement more often.
