I'm doing NaNo this year. Am I crazy? Quite possibly. To win this I need to write 1.6k words a day. I'm trying to get my motivation up, but the multiple possibilities on WHAT to write are driving me CRAZY. Damn, how I hate making decisions of any kind! My biggest issue is questioning myself and doubting my writing ability and what I write though, so I'm trying to work on ignoring that inner editor of mine for a WHOLE month. Maybe longer, cause after NaNo, I wanna finish my current project with Phoebe. WE CAN DO IT! :( In case anyone wants to check it out or doesn't know what NaNo is, go here: www.nanowrimo.org Basically you write a 50k novel in 30 days with a bunch of fellow crazy writers. :D Oh and if you talk to me in November, kick me in the butt and tell me to write. I wanna finish this. =/
I got my hair cut today and it's freaking SHORT. Scary short in fact. I didn't have it this short before, but the hairdresser said it's the best length to wear my fine hair. Maybe she's right, but it feels veeeery weird. I'm sure there'll be pictures soon, especially since I'll be in London with crazyfruitlady this weekend and we can never not take photos. Though some pictures will more than likely show me as a green witch with long black hair. We're dressing up as Elphaba/Glinda from Wicked for Halloween! Phoebe can kick me in the butt in RL when I don't reach my daily writing goal! (Don't do it with heels, please? Or your Glinda wand, cause that would just hurt. :|)
Uni is going well, so far. Apart from one crazy lecturer woman in one of my modules, that I hope I won't need to see that often. Otherwiiiiiiiiiiiiiise... Tessa is bringing major life into the house. She's cheeky as hell, and currently in the defiant phase where she tries to break all the rules. It's like educating a child sometimes. Only that I think a child would not bark at you when you tell her 'no'. ... I hope.
Sooo, this was a quick update from me. I hope/think there'll be more during NaNo. Just want to end this post with a little something I found, that gave me a boost. It talks about when you can call yourself a 'real' writer. If there's any fellow doubters out there, take this to heart.
“If you’re writing, you’ve made it. If you’re dreaming of writing, rolling it around in your soul and wondering if that’s the path for you, you’ve made it. Whether you approach your dreams on soft feet or in a breathless run, just so long as you acknowledge that your dreams are valuable and worthy of pursuing, then you’ve made it.” (via Devon Monk @ www.deadlinedames.com)
Have a good rest week. :D Also! Welcome to any new NaNo followers (I twitter too much!) friends. I hope I can be interesting! LOL
