Not Finishing for NaNo and Other Grown-up Decisions

[parallax23]

It's obvious that I won't be able to finish Aerie by the end of November because I've got other things I have to take care of.

But I want to finish Aerie for ME.  I haven't finished a story in so long, and I would like to stop holding myself back.  I'm still writing Aerie as much as time allows.  It's a great trilogy and I want to share it with people.  Hopefully, they find it as cool as I do.  I was talking to one of my friends about the story, and she liked it because she said it totally plays on the emotional turmoil of its characters.

I do credit NaNo with kicking my ass in gear to try original writing and writing in general again.

I am going to finish Aerie.  I am going to finish the trilogy.  Even if it kills me.

As a side note, I still haven't given up on my fanfic totally.  I may have mentioned this before, but if I know I'm not going to finish them, I will be posting the spoiler endings to all of the series except The XYZ Affair.

Well, rest assured that Max and Alec don't utter the words "love" anywhere in regards to each other in Wake... I'm really working on building their friendship angle into a reluctant romance. I am going pretty slow with them, but that's because there's supposed to be one more story in the series after Wake. :P Some people get frustrated that I don't just put them together then have them deal with stuff as a couple, but that's not how I see it playing out.

In this case, I'm all the more willing to go and read your story :)
