I can't believe I typed more than 2000 words of fic in one day -2755, if I get them counted. Especially after the goddamn writer's block I had, and particularly on the shiny new WIP. See, understand I always leave my WIPs half done, but I really don't want to leave this one to the dogs. If I don't write this couple, nobody else will. Well, yeah, it'll be written, but not on my premise and not with the amount of gen I want to incorporate.

Most of the ideas I have are fragments. I don't have a solid plot except for the next, say, two or three chapters. After that, I'll have to improvise my way. It's scary, I think.

But the good thing about writing Eriol/Kaho is the fact I won't have so many readers or competition because it's so rare. So I assume I won't have the amount of pressure or the need to sell off the fic. I just have it assimilated, that I don't have to exceed certain expectations or tastes, that I won't get any kind of spotlight anywhere, and that I'm basically writing for myself and a couple of people. I want it to be perfect for my own sanity. My other couples have a larger audience, and also have better writers than myself. I'm a drop of water; tap water, even. When I write, say, Clow/Yuuko, I know my "failure" is because of technical stuff or other authors being better than me. But now I'm writing goddamned Eriol/Kaho fanfic, so I only have to worry about technical stuff; the failure will be because everybody loathes the couple. (But I'm used to low amounts of reviews anyway.)

And also because those random Clow/Yuuko one-shots make no sense. I try too much to find a plot to fit the theme I normally don't know what I'm doing. But this WIP has a purpose; even the randomness to come has a mission. I feel like I'm roleplaying, in a way. I do a lot of things keeping in mind I want to get somewhere. There's a goal: fleshing out manga!Kaho and getting her to know manga!Eriol, so the canon ending would make sense.

Is this how long WIPs are supposed to be done? It feels strange. And tingly.

But wow, more than 2500 words. See, this is why I can't do NaNoWriMo. That ridiculous amount feels humongous to me. And yet, if I could write in that rhythm for 30 days in a row, Nano would be a piece of cake.
