So...today, I was bombarded with homework. I managed to finish the most of it, but I'm saving a couple of things for tomorrow to do during homeroom and work study. I just...don't want to deal with it right now. I practically started bawling when I finished the first assignment... And I feel so sick to my stomach from nerves... Ugh...
And of course...in the suckiest of moments, I start getting inspired. I've decided to once again attempt NaNoWriMo this year... It'll be my second year. Last year, I totally failed at it, but hopefully this year, I can manage. I just wish the ideas weren't coming to me at this moment. What I intend to do is write out Aras and Eden's entire backstory from childhood until they join the Pyrotes crew. I'm going to try and outline everything so that I have something to go off of when November comes around. Hopefully that'll help me as I chug along.
I also have a bunch of ideas for Raphael and Mozart. The problem is writing them...this story takes a lot more out of my own personal life than I'd like it to... Which is something that has always bugged me...
As a writer, is it wrong to write from experience? All of my characters tend to have some part of my real life incorporated into theirs... But...is that wrong? I mean, the way I see it, I have every right to do that because one, it is my story, and two, it makes the characters more real... But I can't help but wonder... does that mean that I'm not creative at all? Am I incapable of creating something from scratch? Does anyone else do this? And... I don't know. It depresses me. A lot. -sighs-
I'm hungry...
