Don't be mad at me?  
....Igh.

I don't know why, but I have just lost it. I felt pressured this month, then I haven't written for over a week, and I think I just need more time to plan this out. I don't feel good about my serious-writing right now and telling myself what I have to work on whether I want to or not is taking the fun out of being creative. I could be getting more done as a whole by stopping with the limits.

I'm going to take my time figuring out what happens between now and when Mariam does somethingggg~ which I will not say to preserve the unknown. Then I will do ch43 when I'm damn ready.

I still broke last year's Nano record. I still broke it by like 7,000 words! I could still break it by more.

But no more pressure. >o<

Is it cheating to add on to your word count with writing for a different story? I might do that. I want to do an AIW fic again. Yes, again!

I'm still gettin' my Phantom on, though, I promise. :) I just moreso want to appreciate it right now, rather than try to pull a rabbit out of my freaking ass that will never reach the heights of the interpretations I love. I'm putting a better translated version of Leroux on my Christmas list (in the form of an Amazon card, rather.)

SPEAKING OF WHICHHH,
Automatic addition to my favorite phantoms, John Owen Jones. He is spectacular. His high notes make me sway and go "jesus" every single time.  THAT'S the way a phantom's supposed to make you feel! *curls fingers*

Also, he's adorable. Rather than feeling intimidated by him, I think I'd just want to hug him and pat him on the tummy. lmao It was sweet at the end when he said "come see us!"



Oh hey look, he sings it in English.

Somebody say something. I miss getting comments. :/

You're doing just fine!
NANOWRIMO is hard its a lot of stress. Don't let yourself be stressed by it. Just think about how it helped you get back to work on your story. Good writing can't be rushed (believe me, I know all to well). I'm glad you're taking in you're accomplishments. Just think about how much better you'll do next year.^_^ And btw its not cheating working on an existing story.

Thanks for the video. John was delicious to watch and hear. hope to see you on aim so we can chat.

Re: You're doing just fine!
Thanks, Rachael :)
That was helpful to hear now that I'm straying from the story I was supposed to be working on! It got a lot better when I started liking the new fic, though, so now I'm just excited! (and glad to know it's not cheating)

BTW, I'm sorry I didn't see this comment right away. I'm not getting notifications from LJ that go to my email right now. *shakes fist*
