I’m writing this on my ten minute nanowrimo breaks, so if it skips around a lot, that’s why.
You’ll notice a sad lack of updates! That’s because I wanted nothing to do with words of any sort. I just shut down mentally most of last week and this weekend. I was really frustrated by my lack of motivation and discipline. I think over the past five days or so, I wrote about 300 words. The thing is, I like my story. Maybe I don’t like how I’m writing it, necessarily (I mean, seriously. I’m writing at like, a second grade level. Pah), but I like the idea itself. I like my characters a lot. I just can’t find the motivation. Or couldn’t. Today is a pretty day, I was up early for some job search-related things and I ran lots of errands into the early afternoon. It has helped! My brain feels a little less cluttered and obsessed with shit I need to get done URGENTLY.
Okay, so I didn’t write on my breaks. I signed up for Reddit and read Tumblr instead. Whatever. But the good news is, I’m over the halfway point now! 25,587. I wrote 6,078 words today. I’m feeling pretty damn good. Might write a teeny bit more later but right now, I need to use the bathroom and get some food. I are hungry.
