The state of the writer address
I realized I hadn't blogged about my writing in a while, not since November I think. I didn't win NANOWRIMO, or come close really. but that's ok it was still an inspirational month. I did write a lot, about 18k words I think, a long cry from 50k, but 18k more than I had on October 31st.
I'm back to trying to find some time every few days at least to write, I've noticed when i let it go too long I feel funky, kinda like when you're camping and haven't brushed your hair in a few days... A lot like that.
So I'm back working on my story, novel really. I've set my writing program to 95,000 words as my goal and as of right now am 24% (23,201 words) there. I'm not setting a time goal, those usually just lead to frustration and sadness, because they're always optimistic, rather my goal is to be done as soon as I possibly can. The sooner I complete thist story the sooner the others flying around in my head can get their chance to shine.
I know what you mean about being away too long from the pen or keyboard. It's odd, you don't realize how much you miss writing until you're writing. It's one of those things where you can go a year without doing, then pick it up again and ask, "Why did I ever stop?"
