Favorite Self Work

Week 59 / Prompt 1 - What's your favorite thing you've written? Share it with us. Why do you like it so much?

Right now, my favorite work is the novel that I am currently working on, in the world of Cinra (which I've made up). I've made a ton of progress on it, but have a long way to go yet. I also have not begun editing it yet, so it is definitely a diamond in the rough. I don't love it because my writing is spectacular, because at this stage I know it is not. But because I love the story I have developed. I am so enthralled by it that I just can't help but love that I am writing this. And amazed that I came up with it. I don't know how original it is, or how much other people will enjoy reading it, but I am excited to know that I have done this all on my own. It may be that I'm more enthralled by the details that are running around in my head more than the words that have thus far made it onto the paper, but that's okay. I'll eventually finish this thing (still working hard on it!) and make it as good as I see it in my head. And the 60,000 words I've written so far are definitely not garbage.

At this stage, I don't really have much to share for it, as I'm keeping it private on this site in the case that I might look to publish it the traditional way eventually. I am, however, willing to share the outline and one of the backstories I wrote for it.

Oct 29 - Outline Revision #4  (ASR) Step 4 of Outline for Cinra NaNo Novel #2016431 by Rayyna

The backstory is of the main character to my novel. A few people reviewed it and generally enjoyed reading it. The outline I haven't completely kept up to date with the edits I've made as I'm writing, but it's close enough.
