Musing

Naturally, I searched up information about writing books and such (over and over again since I had the idea) and had revisited that again just two minutes ago.  And the basic synopsis was all the same: Just get started and don't worry about being judged for what you've produced, even yourself.

Which is great and all, but I still get intimidated by it.  Why?  Well, that one idea for a book became an idea for a ten book long series.  Trying to propose one book to ANYONE is hard enough.  Trying to sell ten at once?  More than likely, pretty impossible.  Buuuut, I couldn't help it.

I mean, it first started with an albeit cheesy and cliche concept: take a bunch of young characters and have them save the world.  (Original much? XD )  But then the characters I wanted to write about and use just came naturally.  It started off with seven and those seven had a story to tell.  Kinda why I liked that response from several authors I've read from: It's like having the characters behind your back screaming their lives at you, and you're just writing it down for them.

And sweet hot damn, these seven had their whole life bios to share.  They'd all come from different places and (because of the plot) had to come together and find a way to mesh and work with one another.  Through this journey, they develop in so many ways, and just how they did that was precious to each of them.  One character in particular who wasn't even my favorite at all became so much more than I'd initially thought.  I thought about who he was, what motivated him, and how he would change over the course of the story, that he became my favorite.  However, when I realized why he was such a great character, I knew he would die.  I just knew.  I didn't plot for that to happen or mean for it.  It just became apparent.  So he was effectively just a ghost sitting behind me unlike the others who were more corporeal.  Afterwards, his development became the utmost important.

Next thing I know, I realize their story couldn't fit all in just one book.  Not in a cohesive and interesting way anyway. So one book became ten.  And now I just have to write them.  Which means I have to quickly (well, maybe not.  No rush after all~ ) get off my ass and finally do it.  I've fiddled around with attempting to write one chapter here and there (I had fifty pages written up at one point!), but it wasn't to my satisfaction.  However, now I know I don't need to have a perfect draft by the end of the day (which you'd think I know by now given where I work d: ).  I just need to have something written down.  And to start with that, I write this little side rant, I guess of my musings about having to get up and get started.

Thanks for reading if you did ^^

Love you!! <3
