“Daddy, I like this mommy, can we keep her?” Cable asked once he took the plate from him. Both Leo and Emerald stopped and looked at Cable in awe. Cable acted like nothing had ever changed. Like he had never stopped talking in the first place. He took another drink of his milk and jumped down from the table. “Can I play now?” |
Instead of writing this year for NaNo, I have decided to dedicate this month to organizing all of my stories. All my forgotten notes. All of my 1 pagers. My Archives. All of it. My computer and file cabinet are a mess. So, I am taking the month to clean it all up. Type all my scribbles. Make it all neat and pretty. By the end of the month I will probably typed 50,000 words, but it's not going to be a book. It's going to be those half sheets of paper I scribbled an idea down on. It's going to be character outlines. It's going to be everything hand written. All typed up and in one nice folder in my Google Docs. |
So... I'm torn. I am working on a piece for NaNo. Wrote 8k the first day. Loved my ideas. Didn't plan. Never really do. Well. Now. I hate it. 6 days in and I want to trash it and work on last years that I never finished. I don't know what to do. Coffee isn't giving me the answers I need.I don't have enough writer friends to ask... |
Yesterday I cranked out 8k. Today, I haven't even opened the document. It's not that I don't want to write. And it's not that I have a block. It's that I also run a home. I have dogs, and cats, and a rat. I have to keep the fire going to keep the house warm. I have to do laundry. I have to sweep up all the dog hair. I want to write. It's just today, at this moment, I don't have the time. |
Thank you so much for your support! I haven't publicly posted anything I've written for many years.
