Today, I wrote 2384 words long fic, a complete fic, for the Polish LOST ficathon. I did it. It's got manly friendship and slash subtext that is quite visible, as far as subtext goes. And even if the characters are slightly OOC, it's not so much as to make the story bad, in my opinion. And I'm happy with some of the word choices I did in it. And you ( Read more... )

Congratulations on completed fic and being a baking goddess! *waves pom-poms for you* :D

Thank you! I'm very happy with having written so much :]

Did you know that Stephen King advises writers (and aspiring writers) to write about 1,000 words DAILY? :>

I've once managed to write almost 30,000 words of fic in about two weeks, and I have periods when I'm writing a lot... but 1,000 words daily? I don't think so...

1000 words daily? It's possible. You just need an idea. And a lot of tea, I suppose ;).

novin_ha September 7 2006, 09:19:01 UTC

I suppose I could do it, if I had a lot of free time and a good idea. But it's certainly difficult.

novin_ha September 7 2006, 09:20:38 UTC

I think it's possible to write that much for a time, but not each and every day, you know... How good for me I'm not an aspiring writer, I just dabble in writing for fun! :D

(and yeah, King, Mister 1000+pages, would say that, wouldn't he? XD)

Whee, congrats!
When I watch LOST at last, I will read all your fics about it, can't wait :>

Neither can I - it's a lot of fun, to share an obsession :)

Yum. *wants cake*

novin_ha September 7 2006, 17:29:39 UTC

It's one of the elements of human condition, I believe. We all want cake :D

Hee! I wonder what it's like to write a fic in one go. 'Course, if I don't stop writing them 100,000 words or longer, I suppose I'll never know.

Have no idea what 'Lost' is, but am impressed nevertheless. Especially as I can't bake. :)

How've you been, by the bye?

novin_ha September 7 2006, 17:28:53 UTC

The vision of writing 100,000 words in one go is, admittedly, painful. Especially for the back.

I'm impressed because 100,000 words? I doubt all my fanfiction put together would amount to that ;)

'Lost' is a TV show. Not my favourite, but its Polish fandom absolutely rocks.

My baking abilities are restricted to just a couple of things, actually, but lemon cake is one of them, and it's my Mum's favourite.

How I've been... I've been good, lately. Went to some rock concerts, visited with friends, found myself a room for the new academic year, had health problems that seem to be getting better (a bad toenail and verrucas - my right foot has a vendetta against me).
