Initially for my goal of writing for 10 minutes every day, I wrote longhand in a little scribbler; short stories or whatever. But I didn’t have much motivation to do that. I realized that I was really motivated to keep working on my NaNo novel. It’s been a tough slog: trying to get back into the story with characters I’ve sometimes completely forgotten about, but I worked through a lot of rough patches and yesterday, I wrote for over ten minutes solid, adding new material instead of just re-working awkward stuff that had made me stop working in the first place. It didn’t feel as good as it used to, but it didn’t feel too bad either. So who knows. Maybe this isn’t a lost cause after all.
