some of my best ideas come to me in the bathroom

I had an idea for a fic, but in my head it was too large for the timeframe I had, so I'm turning it into an original story.

I'm giving all the characters new surnames, backgrounds (I love creating backgrounds) and even the location for where the story is to take place will be different.

I plan on really plotting/outlining it in December and spending all of 2015 writing it. Thinking realistically, I hope I can do it. I mean, I even figured out my daily word counts:

50,000 total words = 137 words/day for 365 days
150,000 total words = 411 words/day for 365 days

Obviously I'd want to write more than that daily, but if I just can't write, I'd want to try for those minimum dailies.




This is NOT going to be 50 Shades of Grey or Twilight!

Go, bebe, go! Agents generally look at first novels in genre categories with counts of 75,000-85,000 words in my experience. You can do around a 100,000 for epic fantasy or sci-fi. Write! Write! Write!

I don't even know what genre this fits into. I'm pretty certain there's going to be some romance in it, but it's not the main focus of the story.
