Writing Creature

Today, as I've been reading over my drafts of my stories (and contemplating just how long it took me to reach 40,000 words--SQUEEE--of Blood Pledge), I realized that each one feels different to me and that this probably affects how I write it and when I feel like writing it. I really began to notice this when I had two novel projects going at the same time, which was back in November at the start of NaNoWriMo. Thunder's Cry wears differently than Blood Pledge does, and the same goes for The Fast Lane, Always On My Mind, 43 Kisses, and even what I imagine Proxy will feel like when I get to start writing it. They are different beasts, each mystical and interesting, but only related through my telling of them. It's especially noticeable when I'm writing Thunder's Cry because of the set-up of the story. In Blood Pledge, a very specific set of things have to happen in order for the plot to progress. For Thunder's Cry, I know what's going to happen, but more than half of the story is simply up in the air--it's like daredevil writing! They also feel like different months (Thunder's Cry feels like September; Blood Pledge feels like June; The Fast Lane feels like May; Always On My Mind feels like April; 43 Kisses feels like July). It's an observation both strange and oddly helpful. *off to add more to those 40,000 words*
