Carpe Noctum

I don't often write original fiction, though I may do a lot more in the future. Today I wrote something, that originally I had no idea where it was going, who the character was, pretty much direction-less. by the end of three hours I was buzzing. I wrote 2526 words of a story, it flowed through me, and I was for a change very conscious of where I was going and what I wanted to stay (perhaps this a feature of original fiction writing hitherto unmentioned to me.

I posted it at David Hewlett's site dGeek.com, which I moderate a portion thereof, but not the section I wrote for. The fic can be found here; http://www.dgeek.com/forum/index.php?topic=925 I even tweeted it to get more people viewing and hopefully joining the site. What I didn't expect was to get 25 'guests' viewing straight off the bat, nor did I expect my hits to go from 50 to 100 in an hour. That is a lot of eyeballs viewing it.

I am deeply proud and very much galvanised towards NaNoWriMo in November, when the actual novel and not on the side chapters can be written, but I think to keep the momentum up, I will be writing these side chapters, they may or may not be interwoven into the story post December, I am not sure, but they do help to keep my interest up. And there can be nothing wrong with that!
