Months and months and months ago, I told you guys I was writing a book. (You guys = the four people who read this. It’s okay. I like you guys best anyway.)
Well, I fell out of love with it. The Chicago one. Mostly because I haven’t found the courage to kill Jack London yet. (Sounds awful. That’s what you get for naming your characters after real people. WordPress, it’s a character name. Don’t get mad.)
What I didn’t tell you is that at the same time I was basically writing what I envisioned as a fanfic. About me going to Japan on foreign exchange.
I thought it was some mindless drivel that I’d never actually flesh out, but rather scribble in for my own satisfaction, but I read the Twilight series, and it made me think of Kenta and Co., and it made me want to write it. So. I am!
I have 30+ pages (that are going under heavy revision while I wait for wordpress to actually load) and a plot, and I’ve decided on a couple details that I don’t mind flexing but plan on keeping consistent. There’s an outline, basically, and it’s going to be functional as a novel.
I’m not putting a timeline on this, but I AM psyched to be writing something. I don’t think I’ll even try for publication or anything. That’s not something I’m thinking about in much more than passing. I’m writing this because I promised myself I would.
Just wanted to share!

Looking forwards to reading it. Your writing’s always good stuff.

I started writing a story too. I don’t know if it’s novel length yet, nor if it’s novel worthy, but whatever. I’m writing, ya know?

You go. And if you need an editor, you know where to look.

I just finished the last episode of the last season of West Wing. I sobbed through the whole thing. I am a huge nerd. I also cried through Leo’s episode, but that’s a little more understandable.
I tell you this because you’re pretty much the only one who gets it.
