• I didn't realise I loved animalistic/instinctual characters so much. I knew I loved watching them and squeeing over them, but writing them? I don't think I'd explored that in so much depth before. Marland's ears! Eeeeeee. I love them. :D
*laughs about the Others* It's a nice name. Makes sense. But I did giggle with another other and other others came into play.
• Geckos! Like the signs of when they're about to shed their skin and problem areas. … Noooo, I wasn't thinking about having Marland shed. *innocent eyes* What, Marland shedding?? XD
• Following the not-plot. Some parts got moved around, but it's still essentially the same thing. Awesomeness. *__* I'm even more excited to see what comes after. :D
• Not giving away spoilers, like about the picture of Shodin and Saisha I drew. XDD; Since she was with Shodin, I completely thought she was from "another" world. =P And I thought she'd still be alive. =/
• Conversations. Especially after I'd had the characters say the important bits and I needed to get rid of them so that the conversation wouldn't start dragging. Hahaha, getting rid of people.XD
• After finding out about Tegami Bachi, to stop reading/watching and getting back to my word count. XDD Oops? XD
• Not throwing out the plot and characterisations, and then throwing Marland and Shodin together, flailing at them, and telling them to go be happy and cute together. IC!Marland is just staring at me in horror at the moment. XDD That would have been a completely different turn of events. XD But with Marland and Shodin as they are now, I can believe it. Well, with Shodin at least. Not as much with Marland. =P
• Knowing that other people were doing NaNo, and flailing over people's NaNos. This. Definitely this.
• It's so weird when you can say 'only 15k to go!' and be absolutely serious, and think that that's a truly small number. It makes sense when you’ve just churned out 35k already. It is weird. I was despairing about not being able to finish, but when I reached 40k with what, 3 days left, I was thinking, 10k? Totally doable. It's like nothing!
• I wanted to have so many fight scenes in this! I was like, 'yes! I've been doing too much talking and introspection in the stuff I've been doing recently, so now I can start blowing stuff up! :D :D :D' And then when I started writing it I got… lots of talking. Lots and lots of talking, with a character who hated talking. XDD In hindsight though, this is a lot better, because fight scene after fight scene would have been boring. XD; I am still amazed blowing stuff up is easy for you. =P Marland really did talk quite a lot. :O But hey, if he doesn't talk, how would the readers learn what's going on since he's not figuring stuff out either? =P
Oh, you're going to do NaNo again next year? :3 AND challenge yourself to surpass what you did this year? Craazy! (But then, I've already seen people talking about how they did 200k for NaNo... how do they do it??)
Now I need to go answer twenty-one comments from a certain somebody. XD I wonder who. =P *throws another 2 comments at you because OMG my comment is long*
I wonder if I should try to collect my thoughts surrounding NaNo. XD; It'll end up being me writing off the top of myhead. XD
Yeah, the name made sense, and I felt pleased about that, but arrrrgh, making up a name the next time!
Yes, Marland shedding! I was going/want to have a scene like this: Shodin: Um, Marland...? Marland: What. Shodin: You're... a little bluer than you were before? Marland: *Peers at arm* Dammit, that time of the month already? *goes off to the toilet* Shodin: ... Shodin: Wait. I know this. Why does that sound familiar? XDDD
XDD It's fiiine. I was mostly done with the 50k by that point when I started reading/watching Tegami Bachi. I think? Anyway, it's done now. XDD
Possibly with Marland! He's letting Shodin close now! He just doesn't realise it! XDD
"when I reached 40k with what, 3 days left, I was thinking, 10k? Totally doable. It's like nothing!" XDDD Yep!
Fighting's easy because people don't talk! And it's organic? Stuff happens and then the characters react to them, which, okay, happens in speech as well but I seem to have a better feel for how they'll react in a fight. There's loads of different ways that someone can react to what someone says, but a fight has a more basic attack, react, counterattack flow to it compared to information, react (where there's four completely different routes they can take), reflect (where they can take the information in different ways, depending on how they reacted to the information in the first place), reply. XDD Waaa, hope I made sense.
I'm thinking about it, but I don't know what I'll do. :3 But I thought that this year as well, so we'll see what I come up with.
Yep! :D I know what my habits should be like now to keep going, so I could be able to do it.
*laughs at the scene* That would have been hilarious to see. XD
And you're all caught up with Tegami Bachi. Even farther than me!
You made some sort of sense... still, fights and conversations are both hard. =P Fights are more visual though, and I can sometimes visualize it, which means it all comes down to if I can put what I'm visualizing into words. I guess in that sense, sometimes fights are easier to write than conversations for me, since conversations are more than just visualizing their reactions and body posture and all that... I sometimes how no idea what they want to say or if they're saying enough to understand what's going on. XD
Nope, not with the anime yet. Just finished the fifth episode and that's where things start branching away from the manga (unless that comes up later. Or I missed something.)
X3 Yup, they're still hard. I guess I'm a more visual person then, than a auditory one? ^ ^;;
