Dude, why is it always so late when I talk about Nanowrimo.
I have been working very hard at school this week, not to mention with a zillion meetings and presentations and what nots. My sleeping schedule is permanently messed up and I’ve given up on it now…as long as I get some and I get my work done I’m happy. I’ve been playing a lot with Rotary stuff, which is fun, but the heavy rich meals are getting to be rough on my stomach (its a plot to clog my arteries). I need to realize free dinners (free, expensive dinners) equals not “must finish food on plate and all courses that keep coming.” I’m just so not used to food of this quality and so many types and so much variety and yumminess that I just think I owe it to myself to eat it all. Because its like one of the many experiences that will never come again. I sound like a glutton, but its not like that, its just that usually I am a very light eater and eating meals with people in formal settings is starting to get a little rough on my body.
Where was I? Oh Nanowrimo. So yes, I have been working very hard and playing some, and truthfully have not been such a great writer. On the positive side, I have reached 6034 words, but only 15 days are left. I’ve finished one story, and I really love it. Its turning out to be a collection of short stories, which is usually the case for me, I find I get a lot of satisfaction with a short piece than attempting a novel. A short story can have so many angles and you can play with it as much as you want, and then you can close it, softly and elegantly, before it wanders off too much. That’s what I think. Anyway, I do love the first piece I’ve written and I’m proud of myself for that, but I have a bad feeling that I won’t be able to win the challenge! Despite the force of the shame! (One thing is that no one really asks me about it, so the shame thing is kind of moot. I think people figure that i’m so busy i’ve probably already given up on it).
I need to write a report first, and work on a project, and attend a bunch of stuff this weekend, but i do want to go back and start developing some other ideas. Lets see what happens.
Yay! Congrats on a completed story. Such a feeling of accomplishment, isn’t it?
Don’t sell yourself short! I’m behind but I’m still convinced I will do this thang. I may be delusional, but hey, I’ll be delusional till the last. hehe.
🙂 it is great! im happy i joined!
i’ll fight to the last breath too! we can do it! yes we can! (has that become overused now?)
Good job with finishing your first story! The great thing about it is that you actually “really loved it”!
A lot of us are behind, but somehow, some way, we’ll win this thing!
Is it available somewhere for reading ?
