It was a wonderful reminder of the way inspiration used to just broadside me. Fuck that I was pulling books for storytime -- it was writing time RIGHT THEN OMG.

Maybe?

It's fun when that happens. And the story comes so much more quickly when inspired by a sudden stroke of inspiration, rather than by making yourself write something.

*will check tomorrow* Or I could finally pay my fines at the local library and get it there.

That's been the exciting thing with NaNo -- the story comes so damn fast. To reiterate a metaphor I've used a few times: RC is more like a job, or a committed relationship. I have to work at it, though it still has its sweet moments. The detective story is a quick fling, a one-night-stand. It's all "sweet", none of it at all forced-feeling.

I paid 40 bucks in fines at the library the other day.

Unfortunately my NaNo's decided to be the sort of one-night stand that refuses to admit it's a one-night stand, and is getting all clingy and demanding and an awful lot of hard work. *will be looking forward to finishing it*

Mine are... something like that. Can't remember. One of the things I love about the school library is they don't actually make you pay fines.

I've done some research, but so far it's been refreshingly unpressure-y.

The school librarians know me very well XD

I've done very little research, but the story just doesn't seem to want to be written. Time of year probably doesn't help...

Same.

~~NaNo is always my best time of the year to write >.> Damn other obligations, it's writing time.~~

*hasn't been able to get into that frame of mind* Damn exams... It would be so much better if NaNo was in December or something.
