I've completed the website's goal but the novel is definitely not finished. I will continue to work on it. I'm really sorry to all of those who would rather I update my fanfics but...I kind of need to work on me, know what I mean? If I don't finish these novels they're not going to get finished and I don't want to do that.

I have novel length fanfics up and not a single one of my own original. So, since I'm already on a roll, I'm going to finish at least this novel since it's going steadily before I go back to really working on fanfiction. Please do not ask me when that will be, I do not know.

To those who have read my original works: Thank you so much, especially if you've commented either on here or Fictionpress. It's really important to me to know if I'm doing a good job on the original front so your comments are treasured. ♥

NaNoWriMo states that a 175pg short novel is around 50,000 words. This is to be done within a month's timespan. When I looked at my fanfiction I began to realize that I've written several short novels worth of stories. Let's look shall we?

Oldest - Newest

Love Has Its Reasons World of Warcraft (needs to be rewritten like a mofo): 54,460 words. Finished 2005/2006
Verbal Confessions Naruto: 65,904 words. Finished March 2010, final upload April 2010

Current Original Novel:

Demon King Started 5/21/10. Currently 64,390 words 7/11/10. If you notice I finished and uploaded all of my stories within the same month. That does not mean that's when I started them. As you can see, it's been 2 months and I'm past the 50,000 mark. That includes my current works that I'm working on at the same time, and Destined which is around 28,000+ words.

So I have 7 short novel length works of fanfiction and one original fiction. Should I start focusing on original fiction more? Because I mean...that's novels I've written. I have written, this past year 8 novel-length stories...

Oh, I forgot Muse, Anchor(still a WIP) and Oath(Still a WIP), all three of which are over the 50,000 word mark. So that's 11 short novels I've written in the past 7 months. Of fanfiction.

Am I doing something wrong here? 11 short novels and I can't publish a single one because it's technically not mine? What the hell am I doing?

Unfortunately, Demon King is the only original series I feel like working on. Everything else is fanfiction ideas. I love writing fanfiction and I'm not going to give up on it but I'm starting to wonder if I should be putting my ideas towards original works that I can eventually get paid for you know? I'd love to be a novelist when I grows up.

I will be doing NaNoWriMo and I will complete it. If I can do that many works in less than a year I can fucking do NaNoWriMo. For serious.  I do have an idea, halp anyone?
