NaNoWriMo has been a bust for me

Ξ November 11th, 2008 | → 0 Comments | ∇ writing, short story |

I haven’t been able to write at all. First I had a mid-term that was on the 3rd. I figured I would catch up during the rest of the week. Then I found out my Mom was sick and I couldn’t concentrate to write at all. Today is the 11th and I haven’t written a thing.

I could wait until next year and try again but I think I have a solution for me. November is 30 days long. I’ll wait until the 15th and start writing for the last 15 days of the month. Instead of the 50,000 word goal, I’ll strive for 25,000 words. I like to talk and I’m long-winded so the word count shouldn’t be a problem. But I often write 2 or more stories at one time so focusing on just one story might be a little hard for me.

I plan on trying it and seeing where I end up.

 

I’m starting to write again

I’ve started my short stories again. It’s really hard to get started again though. I have all of these ideas but they come faster than I can write or type them down. I’m especially frustrated because I lost a ton of work that I had already done. When my computer crashed, I lost 3 partially completed stories. 1 was 1/4 of the way done and the other 2 were coming along nicely.

You can best believe I’m saving everything on my flash drive this time.
