After November
Nov. 5th, 2013 03:42 pmI'm working on NaNoWriMo this month (if anyone else is doing it, my NaNo name is writemydreams. Shocking I know) and trying very hard to get the first draft of the Art of Denial finished. I've had this story haunting me for months. I've been struggling with it the last few days but I was able to get almost 2,000 words written last night. I haven't been able to do that much since Saturday. So I'm hoping it'll be easier to write now that I'm getting into the main part of the novel. My goal is to finish Art of Denial then take a break from it. Just give it a rest and then after a month or so, come back to it and read through it with fresh eyes. If I try to edit right after NaNo I'll just hate everything I wrote and feel the urge to delete it and start over. That's what happened with my last NaNo novel. Took almost a year off from working on it then felt the random urge to read through it again and liked it MUCH more than when I read it last November.
On tumblr and facebook I've mentioned the things I plan to work on after I finish up with NaNoWriMo. My first priority is to finish Life or Death. Chapter 3 and 4 have been started but I think I'll just combine them. I have a few scenes started for various parts of To Love a Vampire so I'll finish and edit those and post them. Then... I think that's going to be the end of To Love a Vampire. I had so many more scenes and ideas planned, but I've honestly lost interest. It's too "safe" for me and there isn't enough going on. There's too much focus on romance and I tend to get bored when writing fics like that. So, to Love a Vampire will be ending soon. Maybe I'll feel the urge to come back to it some other time but I doubt it.
I've been working on two scenes with Mejibray. My Mejibray ideas involve ghosts. I know, as a writer, it's not good to stick with a similar concept but... I can't help it. At this moment in time it's what I'm most passionate about writing. I've gotten better at writing horror stories and I want to keep challenging myself and pushing myself as a writer. This series focuses on the Mejibray members being paranormal investigators and they take clients to help them with their paranormal problems. In one, Atsushi hires them to investigate a property he inherited. In the second story, their client is D. D own a bakery and have been experiencing some activity there. The Atsushi one is a horror story but the one with D is more mild. I plan to write both, but I'm wondering which to write first. And if I should include more characters in the Mejibray/D fic. Also pairings. I had planned on Hide-Zou x Tsune, Asagi x Ruiza for the D bakery but I'm unsure now. I don't want to focus too much on relationships so it might end up just being Asagi x Tsune since they are my D OTP <3. We'll see. I won't start writing either of these fics until Life or Death is over so that might not be until January.
