First off, I remember this happening last year, but maybe not so badly: the more I try to write for NaNoWriMo, the less I blog. That’s sort of goofy, and I have goals I set for the end of the year here, so I need to return to my blogging ways.
Also feel bad that I’ve fallen off my haiku wagon. Bah. I can’t squeeze another 17 or 34 syllables out in a day? Bah.
Second, I’m so far behind in the NaNoWriMo scheme of things. I’m not obsessing about it or anything because this year’s goal is to really finish last year’s story. It sort of picks up what was the sorta-end of the 2011 version. Only that story had a lot of unfinished threads and needed to be not so scattered.
I started with all the best intentions and just couldn’t find a place to start. I’d write a paragraph and delete it. Very anti-nanowrimo, I know, but there wasn’t anything past those awkward starts. Finally I picked a point a few days (I think) past where it had left off and started focussing on the poor confused main male character Matt. This is working out all right but it’s just slow going and I lost a couple days at the beginning.
Hope to do a bit of catch up this weekend. Now sitting at desk with a minimum of room lighting so as to say: #amwriting.
