So just a rant-
What the heck, characters? This WASN'T WHAT I WANTED! Why is my book writing itself? I want the characters to do something but they don't want to and AGH WHY?!?!? I never really understood what authors meant by saying "i didn't mean to, these characters wrote themselves" but HOLY CRAP it's like my characters stole my metaphorical pen and just said "nope, we're in charge now" and this is NOT what I planned for Ink but it's good and probably better than if I'd actually planned it because my planned writing isn't that great. *recalls all the overly thought-out stories I wrote that didn't flow right at all* oh well. Ink is coming along well and I'll try to be done by November 1. Hold me to it, folks. I WILL TRY TO SLACK OFF. DON'T LET ME.
For those of you thinking this is a mindless ramble it is and if you have a problem with that why the HECK did you read this far into it?
I am excited and terrified for wattys 2020 and I'm going to try to enter Ink, my first serious novel. I'm going to fail, but it'll be fun! And a learning experience. (One thing I have already learned- characters CAN indeed write themselves.) Thank you for reading this ramble and have a good day.
I LOVE YOU ALL!
