I'm here, somewhere.
It's been a hell of a long time, but I just keep feeling like I have nothing worth saying. Knitting blah blah blah work blah blah TV blah. That's pretty much it. Everything I try to write on here just feels forced - like it's tiring to rehash everything I'm doing or feeling, and who cares about any of it anyway? um, I went to Wisconsin for the family reunion last month and it was nice. I've gained back a lot of the weight I lost, but not all of it. I really need 11th Doctor icons. My friend at work is leaving the company. I bought a lot of yarn last week and I'm knitting a bright yellow sock. Blah blah blah blah blah.
The thing is, I've been trying to write more lately. I have 10 pages (5000+ words) of notes for an idea I'm working on now - I kind of want to save it for NaNoWriMo so I'm going to try to just work on background and plotting until November. And that's all I'm going to say on it at the moment because I feel like with a lot of these ideas I have, while they're still in the embryonic phase, if I talk about them they will start to fall apart or I'll lose the will to work on them. I feel like that even with stories for which I have chapters' worth of work down. Or maybe it would help me more if I had someone to talk these things out with, I don't know. But for now it's staying put and stewing for a little while longer.
Anyway, the point is - NaNo. If I have a hard time forcing myself to write about whatever I am interested in or whatever is happening, how am I supposed to force myself to write 2000 words a day? I'm hoping it will be a lot easier, because those people's lives are bound to be a lot more interesting than mine.
But I am going to try to post more often. I'll call it part of my warm-up, making myself write something, even if it's just about my boring old life and it feels awkward and dumb and pointless to write about work and yellow socks and tv shows.
