I don’t know if it was a bad idea or a terrible idea or one of my worst ideas, but yesterday, on a whim, I thought maybe I would try jumping into NaNoWriMo. On the second day.
The very least of my problems is not having a project in mind, but the reason that’s the very least is I keep a lot of notes. I’ve actually started November with less in past years.
But.
The writing.
I’ve been in a writing desert for years now, when it comes to fiction. My editing of entirely finished books stalled. My ability to start new projects stalled. And then my mom got sick and an was a year-and-a-half of all my energy in one direction.
Then she died.
And then, about six months later, my weird back thing. Changes upon changes.
So I thought maybe this would get me back to fictional worlds I create myself.
My day 1 I didn’t even write 200 words. Not even 200 words.
On the other hand, I did write words. Maybe that’s the take-away.
You can modify your goals on the NaNo site now, and maybe I should do that. I’m not ready to give in to that endless battle with the cursor, as uphill as it is at the moment, as impossible as it seems.
I’m trying to get back to that writing fun, that writing joy. Maybe this month I can find it, if only in short bursts.
Creative endeavors can be like that.
Anyway, that’s it for me this Friday, have a great day and a lovely weekend.
