I'm extremely devoted to the novel that I've been working on for four years. The characters, which go back to games that I used to play with my friends when we were younger, are even older than the tale itself. I have a series planned around it as well, so I'm constantly dreaming up new plotlines to work in and new characters to introduce. Considering the amount of work I've put into this thing, being obsessed with it is the only thing that keeps me going. Otherwise, I might have given up on it a long time ago, like I have done with so many of my ideas.
Wow, four years! Kudos to staying so amazingly committed. I'm nearing about the two and a half year mark for my favorite story, and I must say it's difficult to keep going.
People don't know me by my story, although some of my old friends have annoyed me with disbelieving my page count (Erm, for two years or so, two hundred pages is actually not a lot...so I don't know why you'd subtly accuse me of exaggeration) which is possibly why I'm so private and secretive about. I'm terrified someone's going to tell me it's stupid. Anyway, I don't dream about them, but I do daydream more than I ought, although lately my committment's really been slacking. I'm worried, but I've come this far - just got to finish the job, right?
