Feeling particularly depressed at the moment. Yesterday I was all excited about the prospect of starting this novel but now I've come to it I'm not sure I can do it.
Went into town with Dad this morning and decided to tell him about it, after all he's been going on about writing my own stuff ever since I started writing fanfic. Anyway, he asked me what it was about and when I told him all I got was an unenthusiastic 'oh'. Then he said 'so you're just writing Buffy with different character names?'. I tried to tell him that it wasn't like that but he didn't seem impressed.
I tried not to let it get to me but when I opened up Word and stared at the blank page I realised I'm not kidding anyone. As long as I write vampire fiction there's going to be nothing original about it. Why the hell am I bothering?
