kilroyMy book is starting to feel like an actual book.
That probably sounds stupid. But I've done NaNo at least five times, and the only other time I've had this feeling was the very first. The rest were... exercises, really. There were interesting things there but I didn't have any real connection to the work.
This time there's something real down there in my subconscious; a story that resonates with me, that I almost need to tell. The characters are starting to make me feel things just by their presence. I want to finish it because I want to spend more time with them, more time in this world. And when it's done I want to show it off like a proud parent.
This one I could fight for.
