That's actually exactly why I never manage to complete the goal NaNoWriMo has set—I just end up losing motivation. Well, that and procrastination. ^^"
And thanks! I actually picked those three names for a reason: Jane after Jane Austen, Elizabeth after Elizabeth Bennet from Austen's Pride and Prejudice as well as after Elizabeth Hamilton, and Knightley is the surname of George Knightly, a character from Austen's Emma.

So, how are you? Really, this question goes out to everyone, but still. Also, slowly realizing how inadequate I am because I mainly write fanfiction. Fanfiction with characters that I've made myself, but still. And the quality of my work has been eroding recently in my opinion, presumably because of stress. Then again, I'm pretty much always a ball of anxiety and bOY DO I TALK TOO MUCH. I'm procrastinating doing my course work atm haha, how about you? I think writing fanfic with your own characters is great! I think it lets your exercise your creativity in a world that's already been established and that you are probably quite familiar with. I struggle a lot with my world, especially because my characters move around a lot. I do stress a lot about my writing too, particularly at the moment- I'm having so much trouble writing the beginning, because I can only ever imagine my characters around the middle- I feel like I'm rushing everything, and not being sure about your work is the worst thing in the world. That's why I posted this, so I can bounce my chapters off other people and get other's opinions on what I've written, and hopefully get inspired b some fellow writers! (you can never talk to much tbh) Hi! It's always great to see fellow writers! I have alot of stories I want to write, but my main one is currently this one story that I'll describe as Game of Thrones, but with alot more magical elements and less explicit scenes. If becoming an author doesn't work out, then I'd also be interested in becoming a playwright. I've participated in NaNoWriMo (though never Camp NaNoWriMo), but could never finish. This'll be my third year doing it. I also have a pseudonym planned out—which is also what I plan to legally change my name to anyway—and that would be Elizabeth Jane Knightley. That's cool! Do you have as many characters as GoT does or fewer? Have you written any plays? The first time I joined nano I did participate but never finished too, and I haven't really gone back to it because I feel so bad about it. I also want to use a pseudonym! I kind of want to use a name completely different from mine, but at the same time I just want to use my initials and last name. Even though I don't really like my last name :/

To be fair my goal was only 30k instead of 50 because who got time for that hA And yeah character muse can be tricky. But hey, at least you're still writing them pfft At least. It's making me sad, though, because [excuse me while I ramble here even though it's previously been established on many other websites and threads that quite literally no one cares, I just feel like I have to say something] I love these two's relationship, but the daughter's character isn't going anywhere in that setting and she realizes that, so she's just going to leave again and now everything's all angsty. Made even more interesting by the fact that said daughter is the only one of her father's children who cares about him. Also, sadder because no one really reads the things I write, and yeah I mainly write for myself, but I also sort of feel that besides that, there's really no point because no one appreciates it.

(you can never talk to much tbh) Still just trying to convince myself to actually write over here haha. It's been a few days for one of the things I'm currently working on, and I'm debating dropping the other one because it's clunky. But I'll probably finish it eventually because I have a vehement hatred of leaving things unfinished. And yeah, I agree with the fanfic thing. Not having to completely make up your own world and laws is refreshing sometimes.

@tomedragon I guess there are quite a few supporting characters, but still fewer that GoT and the storyline only has six PoVs for the main storyline—three for the first arc, and three for the second arc. And no, I have never written any plays before.

Oooh that sounds interesting! Tbh I'm a sucker for pain and angst so it sounds right up my alleyAnd I feel that. I don't really share much of my writing either bc nobody really cares pfft

Oh what's your da? If you don't mind sharing cx Have a link! cloudclawz.deviantart.com/I should really write more actual pieces instead of just filling out character-centric memes, but hey, whatcha gonna do when you don't have too many subplot ideas. Probably not much, right? Also, Mature Content warning...though the filter should protect a fair amount of people from that unless they've turned it off.

I mean, more people have been liking/favoriting my stuff as of recent, but I speak of this as very recent, and it really doesn't happen all that often compared to other things haha

Nice! I don't have a da but the art is very nice! I'll have to read some of the stuff when I'm actually awake pfft Thank you~ It's free if you ever want to make an account, by the way. And yeah, I'd advise that you do things which require you to concentrate when you're awake lol

Pfft where's the fun if you're not doing things in a haze of exhaustion Can I get this quote framed? Seriously haha. I don't think it's normal to shake with exhaustion, but I'm still trying to be productive anyways.
