maybe I need to tell it to myself first and enjoy it, and not fuss about it being “right” or “good”

EXACTLY! That’s what I keep getting told, and it’s finally starting to sink in. :)

I just subscribed to Tami Moore's blog a week or two ago actually... I think you might've mentioned her in relation to the NaNo planning. Sadly some of her posts are sitting unread in my Google Reader at the moment, because I want to dedicate a bit of time to them and do the exercises she suggests :) You make a very wise point about stories not being a story unless they are told... maybe I need to tell it to myself first and enjoy it, and not fuss about it being "right" or "good". .-= Mazil´s latest blog post is <a href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/krumpit/~3/ZfFdXsiTbDo/" rel="nofollow">2 Minute Musing: Creative Endeavours</a> =-.

Now. :) You will find, as I have, that every story you have is "The Story." And...that's okay! A story left untold is not a story. A story "in your head" is not a story. But if you write, then it <i>is</i> a story, and you've given it the chance to live. And the best thing is: If it's not the story you thought it was, you have choices! So go write. There is a whole world of people waiting to help you with your story, and an even bigger world waiting to read it. Mazil, seriously: If you don’t follow Tami Moore, I urge you to do so. Now. :)

Good luck with the writing! That is great :) I need to kick myself into writing more, too...

I hope it chokes on it. *grumble* Congratulations on obliterating your wordcount goal, and for so much of it being Darklight related! Allow yourself to be PROUD of Darklight!
