Some day I will be a better blogger....
Time sure flies when you're having fun. It's been very busy for me as we are back into a busy period at work and Logician and I are trying to get some other things going at home, but it's been a lot of fun. New friends are also a definite plus!
NaNoWriMo is sneaking closer and closer and I feel less prepared than ever this year. I seriously believe this year will be the year I sit down, open the blank Word Document, and have no idea what comes running out across the page! Something new? Something Old? Who knows?!
It does have me thinking about what the last year of my life has been like. The story I wrote last year was really for therapeutic reasons and will likely never see the light of day in any format close to how it exists now. I don't feel like I need that this year.
In 2008 for my first NaNoWriMo I did a similar thing. I wrote a story using a mass of characters I used to roleplay with in an e-mail game. I took them out of the world they'd lived in a built them a new one to work through a lot of things I was going through at the time. It ended up being a rambling story much in the same vein as others I had written. Then in 2009 came my (baby, pride and joy) Lines of Eternity story that is so much more amazing now than it ever was in 2002 when I first conceived of it.
So since 2008 and 2010 were both therapeutic writings it stands to reason that whatever I do commit to "paper" this year will likely be something that will one day make it to second draft. A somewhat exciting prospect!
Still waiting for November 1st!!
PS Halo: Anniversary is looming closer as well... This will require will power to persevere. The most AWESOME HALO EVER versus THE MOST AWESOME WRITING EVER.... It will be tough, but fun.

NaNo always seems to come so fast. I am less prepared this year than I ever have been. I am a "pantser" but I still usually go in with more than this. Still, I remain hopeful. This year I am not even focused on winning, I am focused on writing as much as I can. I'll consider 10K an accomplishment with my current schedule.
ReplyDeleteI hope your story will make it to second draft. That would be awesome!
