NaNoWriMo in one month.

I don't feel really good. Didn't go to school today for... I don't know. I just don't feel like it.
That aside, one more month until NaNoWriMo. I'm totally going to do again this year, since last year I failed epically because I stopped writing my novel in... less than 6,000 words. So, this year, I might try something different.

Fan fiction.

Yes, please do dub me as  the worst writer in the world.

But I'm actually considering writing an Indigo Prophecy/Fahrenheit fan novelization, and when I'm done I wold revise it and put it up for everyone to read. I guess I'm taking this opportunity to try and practice and polish something, though I don't know what. My writing style? Or my sense of narration, how I timed events and dialogues and thoughts? I think it's a good way to practice writing, generally. I'm not yet ready for the publishing industry, and for some reason, I feel really safe on the self-publishing thing, you know?  I've been reading a lot of articles about the choices of how an author could publish, and, normally I could go to some major publishing company, because, whew, fame and fortune, it's hard to turn it down, right? But yeah, self- publishing is equals to much familiar ground.

Oh, that's just me, being anxious.

It was said that the game script is way twice longer than the game itself, but something had happened and the creators had to cut out a lot of things in the game, especially the last part of the game, which makes it looks rush But I've collected some sources (err, more like words of the creator, playthroughs, gameFAQs, trivia reading, etc..) that could provide me guidance.

Of course I'm not planning to publish it.

It's a good option, really, for NaNo. I have other options, but I still have a month to think about it all.

On the other hand, going slow and easy on the history project. The first draft might be done next year, when I keep going. And, if I'm really the luckiest teenager in the world, maybe by the last year of my high school I might sign a contract, and the book would be published.

Hey, a person can dream, right?

But as of now, not getting my hopes up anymore.

P.S. Mark of Athena tomorrow! I hope I get the book, and I will totally neglect exams.
