write 100 words of my novel every day for 3 months

I didn’t complete this goal in November. I’ve never been one of those people who’s always had a novel in their head. So this one might be a bit harder (and take significantly more aforethought) than I had originally imagined. Thing is, it gets to the point where I don’t know if I WANT to be creative anymore. Like I’d almost RATHER be lazy and fail, because that is less of a challenge…less of a risk of “wasting” my life and potentially not making QUITE as much money, so that I can “fart around with art”...but anyway, sorry to be so down…or at least sound that way. I don’t feel so bad at all!

I have no idea where my story is going. For me, the whole NaNoWriMo thing is not a NECESSITY, though it would be nice to win it…but I am more concerned with the fact that my story is ending up crappy and I keep hitting dead ends.

It’s okay, writing… I wouldn’t go to bed angry ;)

We have had a fight. Mainly because I scoffed at doing this strange thing called a “novel outline” before NaNoWriMo…a novel what? A whahaza? No, no. Not for me. And now I am suffering. At 10K words…about half the goal for this point in the competition.

8532 words and counting!

Really, this is…I am a master of something at least! Daydreaming about hockey players…in Swedish (blush)...instead of, uhm…actually writing. Anything. Score.

I just need to pick up speed now so that I can get ahead on this novel thing and take some time off on the weekends!

I can erase it IF I do NaNoWriMo starting from today and lasting the whole month of November, with a novel at the end…WOOHOO! I’m ready!

If I complete the NaNoWriMo Challenge, then I can scrap this goal. Perhaps that would be easier. And then I could freshen up my list a bit and see about getting things that I LOVE doing done first…like starting up my religion class that I just got into here ;) !

Since I haven’t been writing anything in a while, now. I’ve been putting a lot of my creative things on hold. And I feel really in limbo here. Generally, when I feel this way, I just stop doing everything. But now I really want to “go get ‘em” and do whatever I have to do to make life more livable. One of the things I can do is write. A lot.
