oh, self

You know what kind of sucks?

Right at this very moment, I kind of really want to write a long, long Sam/Ainsley fic just because.

But it's NaNoWriMo month, and I'm already behind.

It's kind of hard to shift your mind from a love story about witty, bantery ideological opposites in love against the backdrop 21st century politics to a darkish pseudo-Victorian YA fantasy novel about the nature of family.

*sigh*

They're irresistible, aren't they?

In other news, I think I've figured out what I'm writing.

I'm sorry. You could always jot down notes and outline quickly, and then it will be ready for you when you get back. :)

Does all your Nano writing have to be the same thing? I mean, I know the original point was to write a novel, but there are lots of people who do other writing projects and just use the month as motivation/goal-setting. So as long as you get your word count in, a Sam/Ainsley fic could be part of it......

(Really, I just want to read it, lol. I'll give you a cupcake for it!)

Ooh, I recognize that feeling. I really need to stop obsessing over my Seasonal Spuffy fic and focus on my vampire Cinderella novel. Good luck! Your NaNo story sounds cool! :)

Yikes! That does sound like two difficult things to switch gears between. Good Luck, and have fun with your writing :P

Much luck to your NaNo project!

And I PM'd you something long and flaily about Press Gang. :D

FWIW? I am very excited about the sound of your NaNo project. Darkish pseudo-Victorian YA fantasy? Yum yum yum.

Imagine Ainsley in a corset? Does that help to tame you muse in the right direction?

OOH. I hope this Sam/Ainsley fic happens one day! I'd love to read it.

For now, my best wishes for your novel. :)
