Congrats, P-C!
Funny thing about black and white. You mix it together and you get gray. And it doesn't matter how much white you try and put back in, you're never gonna get anything but gray.

Good job, you, P-C! Isn't it a great but weird feeling?

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
I don't know how I wrote a whole book. It doesn't feel real. I mean, it is a not a very good book but it's the first draft so it doesn't need to be, it is mostly book-shaped and that's what matters.

It's an impressive accomplishment.
Every year I think about doing NaNoWriMo, and every year I chicken out.
I don't actually want to write a novel. I just want to have written a novel.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
I don't actually want to write a novel. I just want to have written a novel.
Yeah. I want the ideas in my head to fall out and assemble themselves magically.

Like I said, great but weird. :-)

In my experience, the worst thing is to think about writing a novel. But thinking about jotting down notes first, and later about writing a scene, or a set number of pages a day (or even a set number of scenes a week), can help break down what seems monumental into doable.
