C25K Day Six: Fanfic

Again, not writing this on Day 6 - another one done on Day 14. This one is one I'm really stuck on... Haven't written fanfic since the RP'ing days.

The timer has started but I'm really, really struggling with this - I don't particularly want to write fanfic. Not that I have any problem with it as a medium, and it's a great form of expression, but I wrote a ton of fanfic as a kid and now I don't really wish to enhance anyone else's story. I've written the fanfic that I wanted to write - about Robin Hood, about Torak's world, and the endless adventures of characters that didn't exist in Harry Potter. 

What I really want to write, to be honest, are my own stories. The god-knows-how-many different stories that I've come up with over the years, especially now since starting the Masters, that I've not yet had the time to write because I've got so much other stuff to do. So while I want to try and stick to the C25K program, and I want to try and get back on track with it as a scheme, I don't think that writing fanfic is the thing for me.

After all, I have so many different ideas that I need to start following through of my own plans, let alone coming up with an idea for someone else's characters. I couldn't even think of something for Doctor Who, because to be honest I don't want to write ten minutes of something. I want to write FOR Doctor Who, and then be creating plots and twists and turns as I go. 

This C25K is just supposed to be that - an exercise to make people write every day. So far so good, surely, then? I might not have written to their brief every day, but I've been much better at writing every day, at least. Some days sure, I don't get as much as I want done, but I've been much better about it than I was this time last year. Plus, it's got me back on the blog, so I have to give it credit for that. Things I have achieved:

Almost got a full play written.
Sorted out the new plot points for RaOI.
Got the basic plot outline of ATW, with plans to look into that tomorrow night on my storyboard (same way I did RaOI).
Started thinking about things I could write monologues about.
Three short films written, and another one on the way to being written.
Plans to turn those short films into actual productions (whether this is in March or not is yet to be seen, but it would be good to get at least one or two of them done). 

I mean I'm not sure if that's everything, that's just what I'm thinking about off the top of my head, which I have to say is pretty good going for someone who - a year ago - was struggling to even write one thing for a Masters application.
