Writing

I forgot just how much fun writing is when it's going well. And how much fun it is to have a universe to play in. I haven't written fanfic since high school. All the ideas multiply and bounce off each other and change themselves. I should figure out how to do this with original fiction.

And I realized tonight that I really like some of the sentences in this work, as sentences. They flow well. It's really nice to feel for my own writing what I might feel for someone else's. (Especially before revision)

Of course, it's pastiche, so it's not quite my sentence flow. But this is so much fun.

Man, I never felt like this writing essays. I can actually stand to look at it after it's done.

Playing with ideas is an amazing feeling; so is writing sentences you're actually happy with. I'm glad it's going so well! :D

Oh, congratulations, that's excellent! If you don't mind indulging my curiosity -- what fandom?

As someone who hasn't completed so much as a first draft in the last couple of years, I'm thrilled for you!
