Guess what, I didn't even start the fourth chapter. Which is pretty lazy for me. Well it's normal for me, you probably know that. My writing just hasn't been feeling 'right' lately. I sit down to write something but it just doesn't work. I don't have writers block, I know what is going to happen, I just can't write it. I've decided to take a break from this book for a while. Yes I know, I don't spend much time on it, but I am thinking about it a lot. What I'm trying to say is that the things I am writing just don't feel...real enough. Shut up, I know fantasy isn't real but if it doesn't feel real then it's not good. I haven't even put much fantasy in it yet. After a while, once i have more experience with writing, I will come back to it. I want this book to be good, so I think it is a good idea to finish it later, once I've finished high school. I will have better ideas then, and I will know how to make it seem real.
While I am taking a break from this book, I am not going to take a break from writing. I am going to write a new book. One that requires a lot less world building. It's on a much smaller scale too. It will be a stand alone book. I've planned out the world, which isn't the most original, but I like it. I'm only going to have two main characters this time, and a dragon. So it will be easier to manage perspectives. Also, DRAGONS! little ones, cat sized. So cute. I started planning it on...Sunday? I think it was Sunday. It has taken me a while to get a vague outline for the plot. I have written two different plots, I didn't like the first one so I did it again. I like the second one much better, the ending is much more solid and final. I still have a few days of planning and outlining to go but hopefully I will be able to start writing soon. I'm going to try and get 50,000 words done by February, then I can join in the nanoedmo (national novel editing month) wish me luck :)
