I have to say that working on a fanfiction I started in high school has been interesting. It’s been years since I’ve worked on it, having abandoned it after a year in college. I can’t remember why I abandoned it now, but working on it again has brought back a lot of memories for me.
It’s been slightly difficult to go back and work on it, in that I’ve had to go back and reread it to remind myself of what’s going on. My writing has gotten a lot better over the last 8 years. I still have no idea where it’s going, but I feel good about working on it again. It’s mostly to prove that I can finish what I start, which I’m confident I can do now. Plus, it’s kind of like my baby, you know?
I have no idea if I’ll ever put up the chapters I’ve added, so for now, I’m just waiting to see where it goes before I make any decisions.
Here’s what I find weird though. Of all the things I could go back and work on, I decided to go with my 1st ever fanfiction. It’s an interesting choice, but I’m glad I’ve decided to go back and work on it. It’s slowly becoming one of my favorites again, although going back and working on something several years later is weird. Especially since I’ve never done it before.
And for the 1st time since November, I’m accomplishing some of the stuff I set out to do. That makes me happy, and I’m reminded why I love writing so much.
