A Little Anime Boy and A Strange Clown Magician Helped Me Write a 38,951-Word Book
How did I end up writing a story over 38,000 words long? My original plan was to write a short story somewhere between 1,000 to 2,500 words. What I wrote instead was basically a book!
I used to believe I didn’t have enough “oomph” yet to write a full-length book.
A 3,000-word short story? Sure.
A 90-paged screenplay? Heck yeah!
A straight novella or novel? No way!
Now, I can’t say I can’t write books anymore. I can do it. It’s all about focus and determination.
It Started with Hunter x Hunter
Earlier this spring, my little sister introduced me to an anime called Hunter x Hunter. 12-year-old Gon Fleecs goes on a journey to become a Hunter and find his father, Ging. He meets some interesting characters along the way, including a strange clown magician named Hisoka. Apparently, people with strong fighting skills turn him on ( I don’t know understand, lol).
Anyway, Hunter x Hunter had me hooked. I’m no stranger to writing fanfiction. I’ve done it…
