sevenswellsAbout this novel-writing thing... I'm not sure how I'm gonna make it. There is A LOT to do, a lot of plotting, a lot of research, and I'm supposed to turn in my manuscript by mid-april -- I'm really not sure I'll be able to make it. I thought I would go full NaNoWriMo on this thing but shit, a month and a half is actually very little time...
My head is buzzing righ now full of questions like "is it too far-fetched?", "is it ridiculous?", "is this even a good story?", "would people actually want to read this?", "would no-one care but me?" -- which I immediately try to cut off with a mantra of "don't think don't think don't think just go go go"; I feel positively schizophrenic. I'm not even sure I'm excited about it right now, I'm just in a manic phase where ideas come pouring in like little puzzle pieces and I receive them wondering where I'm gonna make them fit; "ooh this one is nice, but does it belong to this puzzle or another? Am I trying too hard to make it fit because it has roughly the same shape of the piece I'm looking for and I really like its colours?"
And I want to tell the whole world about them ("Look at my stuff, isn't it neat? Wouldn't you think my collection's complete?") but it wouldn't make sense to anyone else but me because they're really just bits and pieces which would sensibly look like junk to any outsider of my own flipping brain. Marvelling at single puzzle pieces doesn't make any sense.
Talk to me f-list, I wanna read your thoughts about creating and writing especially if you're in the middle of writing something too, I wanna talk to people about it because NO ONE ELSE CAN UNDERSTAND
If you have writing tips, articles you like, anything, come and talk about them, I'm interested!

Ptain tu sais que j'ai des fucking DEMANGEAISONS quand je vois passer les illus de Mucha qu'on a fait en puzzle??? C'EST TOUT TA FAUTE
Genre j'ai vu passer l'autre jour la "Rubis" en illus sur Tumblr (parce qu'évidemment y'a toujours un branleur sur tumblr pour reblogger du Mucha) j'ai fait "RHAAAAAAA" à voix haute devant mon écran
