I Express Myself Through Writing

[ The beginning of a story ]

I finally got started on writing a long story. It's been four weeks since I got started and I almost have 40 pages which I have split into seven episodes. I thought about how to frame this story for some time and I'm really enjoying how it's coming out. It has exactly the elements that I wanted in it. I feel completely engaged into it when I sit down to add more to it and I wish I can keep going non stop until the whole project is done. I must however pace myself, but I do really love putting myself into it. I don't know what will happen to it once I'm done with the writing, but I do know I want to carry it out to completion and enjoy the process while I'm at it. I feel so fulfilled by it. It's a true blessing to be able to write with pleasure...

** Edit **
Since I got asked a couple of times, here's a bit about what the story is about:
A couple of strangers strike one of those conversations about anything and everything while sharing a flight and that's just the beginning of great connection for them that will mark their lives.

What's this story about? How long do you plan on making it? I can never keep an idea for too long, so even though I've wanted to be an author I suck at writing stories.

For your first question, see the edit in my post above.

I originally thought of making it about 25 chapters and with the limited time I have at hand, it'll probably be a chapter per week. I'm happy that I already got 7 chapters so far.

Since I've been thinking about this story for some time, I can spend a long time writing.

@Ghauzy: Ah, I like it. Not many people take the realistic approach to writing stories. Most people are just fascinated with creating entire worlds filled with magic, or writing tragic murder mysteries and stuff like that. You actually write like how I write sometimes...something that COULD happen in my daily life.

You mentioned in your post you have seven "episodes". I quite like that idea, instead of calling them straight up chapters.

I am really interested in your story now. Are you going to be updating about it?

@Caine: I may update about it from time to time. I do enjoy both writing about day to day stories as well as far off stories though I have an inclination towards the former.
