I went to work, but I did not go to the gym, cook or clean. My words were having a major dance party.
But today I am drawing blanks. Oh, I make myself write, but not as fast or as furious.
I am full of excuses, and I am starting to stress about how much busier November is going to get. How can I possibly write another 30k?
I couldn't stay and write in bed because the tree guys were back at 8:30AM with their cherry pickers to clean up the mess from last week. (We had a freak snow storm resulting in loss of power for a few days and lots of poor, damaged trees.) (Yes, the noise and the expense makes me want to cry.) (And yes, I know that all of these parantheticals aren't correct.) (So what?)
I voted in our local elections, and then came here, to Starbucks. But I happened to be privy to a loud conversation about office politics from two brassy real estate agents. Sigh. However, I can't blame them, because now they're gone and I've resorted to . . . blogging. Which is still writing, btw, but it doesn't count for #NaNoWriMo.
Thank goodness for the pep talks that #NaNoWriMo gives you, like this one from last week from Erin Morgenstern.
I hear that the slump is more than common for writers, and that I need not despair. I need to keep carving out this space for writing, and give myself permission to dance with ninjas.
Back to Scrivener - farewell my lovelies!
Ninjas, FTW!
ReplyDeleteI'm using NaNoWriMo as motivation, not as a spring to the finish. I've barely cleared 3,000 words TOTAL, but those are 3,000 more than I would have had otherwise. Life happens. Kids come first. I'm sure you'll find your flow again! :)
You rock. I still haven't reached 10K.
ReplyDeleteMy husband has been amazing with the cooking and cleaning so that I can be with the kids when they're not sleeping or they're at school and I'm at work!
ReplyDeleteYou BOTH rock. Steph's right - it's so much more than we would have otherwise. I am seriously slowing down now though. The whole Thanksgiving week will be a bust.
ReplyDeleteGuess it's too late to start this challenge now. Just on my own, I was happy to get around to typing up my brief story notes last night. Think all I clocked was a late night watching Grimm, On Demand. 20K is inspiring!
ReplyDeleteIt's not too late to join the NaNo party Amanda! Look, it's already 9:15 and I haven't written a word yet. I need a yoga class first. (Yup, I'm slowing down . . .)
ReplyDeleteYou did really well work and your "Dancing Ninjas" post too good all point of view. Infect your "Dancing Ninjas" really so funny but i like it. For sale new electrical safety matting visit http://www.electricalsafetymattingco.co.uk/
