write

to make room in my list for more defined, action-oriented goals when it comes to writing. It`s still one of my most important goals, but it`s on my list in the freelance-writing goal, and it will be part of my “make 2007 my best year yet”-goal, definitely.

A fever seems to be good for creativity! I went to bed in the middle of the day to sleep a couple of hours as I was exhausted. But all of a sudden I got some interresting ideas for a story to write, and I couldn`t get it out of my head, so I got up and wrote a page in a few minutes, and then went to bed again. And I`ve read through it now, and I still like the ideas. ;)

on this one too, from write a book to just write. Just because starting with a book is maybe a bit too ambitious. So, for 2006 I want to simply write more! Articles, short stories, start a book, whatever. And maybe the book goal will be back on my list in november, I`d really like to participate in the NoNoWriMo next time!

Yay! The whole NaNoWriMo concept (that I`ll hopefully sign up for next year) got me inspired. I love the “let`s just write something and not care if it`s bad”-idea. So today I have finally started writing i little bit. Just a half page of a short story or something, but it`s a start. It will probably be quite awful, and I admit I do care, it`s not that easy to put all my ambitions and selfconsciousness away. But at least I`m working on it! And, I`m writing a story based on my chaotic life these days, so it feels a bit therapeutical to put things down on paper, which is also a good thing!

I love writing, and I do realize that this book isn`t going to magically start writing itself! But still, I just can`t get around to it somehow, I don`t write anything at all. I think it has to do with stupid ambitions. If I write something, I want it to be good, and I fear that it won`t be, so instead of failing, I just don`t write. But ofcourse, as long as I don`t write, I never have a chance of actually becomming good at it. So what I need to do is stop taking it so seriously, and just start writing. Not a book to begin with, just anything really. But I just can`t seem to do it. Advise anyone? ;)
