My fire for writing had dwindled over the past couple months. Even through part of November I was fighting myself to keep going and finally get this story which had been wanting to be written done. It wasn't exactly because I was revved up, but I knew I really wanted to do it. <br /><br />Somewhere down the line, my mojo showed up. That made it so worth it for me too. Now I can't wait to finish writing it. lolSarah Mäkelähttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10239437847082720298noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1268238247379169028.post-65150110220835577982011-12-01T02:44:03.543-08:002011-12-01T02:44:03.543-08:00It's funny.

I've always considered myself incapable of writing to a deadline (at least when it comes to longer stuff), so when I suddenly decided to jump in feet first this year ... I had no hopes and really no intentions. I have done original fic before, but it's been smallish and has always struck me as utterly ridiculous (my writing, that is, not original fic as such).<br /><br />The big thing ... I had no plan. Just a vague idea that sprung from a conversation with a colleague about the shortcomings of the Danish penal system. Even now, about 50,000 words, I still don't have a clear image of my lead character. But I will finish the story and I will 'publish' it online. Just to see if anybody even reads it. :)<br /><br />So, I can sort of relate. I really had no bad side of this, but not really a good side either. I was kinda balancing in the middle there, just writing because I needed this to go well. It's been a bad month all in all and I just needed one thing to go right. And it did. So I'm good. :)<br /><br />The support on Terra Firma was great. I think it helps if it's a team effort and the spirit of competition is always a motivator. :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
