So I started writing a novel?

October 10th, 2024

Do NOT look at my last blog post. Because this is proof of how messy I am.

I've always liked to write. Even when I was a little primary school nerd. I really thought I was a genius writer who'd become a published author. When I got a good grade in a writing assignment, I felt invincible.

Then I wrote on Wattpad. Not fanfics! Ok maybe one fanfic. But my main story was some nerdy fantasy stuff and it's thankfully lost in the oubliettes of time.

I had so much fun writing. My friend had a popular story (I mean FRONT PAGE popular) and we shared our passion of writing. She was the more motivated one, tbh, but that motivated me.

Then we stopped in a tragic "this is leaking to other people in the school" accident, and I might've been the catalyst. She had to delete her incredibly successful story. And I still feel bad about it. Sorry again, queen.

I forgot about writing for a while. I just had other stuff to worry about apparently. Like, my crush. Ugh. Pervert much?

But in the last 5-ish years, I've kept thinking about writing. I always made sure to write random ideas in my notes app. Funny or witty sentences. Plots. Of course I never used them, and I likely never will.

A few days ago I realized that I just have to start somewhere. I was in a love story mood (having finished watching Heartstopper season 3) and thought, why not?

So this is where I'm at. I wrote a "plan", roughly detailing the setting, the 2 main characters, development ideas.

And today, in about an hour, I wrote 3 pages, and it felt so good. It flowed out of me so naturally. I wrote 1000 completely original words. It's just the introduction, nothing much is happening. But it's so freeing. I can write however I want.

So I'll keep you updated. And who knows, maybe one day I'll be proud enough to share it with the world? For now, it's for myself. In the meantime, I can share snippets here! You'll get exclusives! Well the news of me writing is already an exclusive. Anyway.

See ya!
