The OP's not inappropriate to this month.
November is National Novel Writing Month, worldwide event for writers and aspiring authors to try to write 50,000 words in a month. It doesn't have to be perfect, it doesn't have to complete the story (although if it does, that's great!). And the writers don't just write in isolation - there are forums and discord channels, there are local gatherings (I attend a weekly write in in my home town each November where anything up to a dozen of us get together, share stories about writing and encourage each other).
It took me three years before I successfully wrote 50,000 words in a month. I met someone this year who has been trying since she was thirteen and still hasn't succeeded - but she keeps trying and gets closer every year.
A Stitch In Time,
Along Came A Spider and Idealist (book 1 of
Davion & Davion (Deceased)) are all stories I wrote for National Novel Writing Month. And without those I would never have managed to write as much as I did of
Centurion or have written
Riding the Dragon, which is seven and a half years old but I still had a new review just this weekend.
Inspiration is what starts me writing, and the Battletech universe is a goldmine of inspiration seeded by more than thirty years of previous writers. But perspiration - keeping writing every day - is what gets me to the end of a story.
It's not unusual for me to get messages asking me to write someone's prize battletech idea. The answer I give is: "That sounds great, you write it." I almost always get a reply: "I'm no good at writing." The answer: "Nor was I. We all start somewhere. If you believe in the idea, work on it. I'll read it."
So to anyone thinking of writing battletech, or anything else that inspires you, do us and yourselves a favour: start writing. Even if it's just a little each day, if you keep at it, you can bring your idea to life.
