Feeling thorny
I’m almost done the first draft of as-yet-unnamed changeling novel. And I’m reluctant to get to the end. Not sure why. Maybe because once I do I’ll have to acknowledge the messiness and incompleteness of what I’ve made. That while I may have arrived at the story’s end, I’m far from finished.
I’ve used a few disruptions to my routine as excuses to put off the work. It’s been almost a week since I’ve written a word. As a result, I am grumpy. Because the only thing worse than slogging through the last ten thousand words is not doing so and missing my deadline. I hate letting myself down.
So. Enough grumbling. Back to work.
I write stories, most of which contain a fairy or two. On this blog I write about the things that matter to me. When I'm not making stuff up I also love taking photographs. All the photos here are my own. If you're still curious, find out more on my About page.
I love NaNo I’ve done it and won it for a number of years of now. I use it to write sohnimteg totally new and different (genre, YA vs adult etc) or to get sohnimteg down in one big gut-wrenching swoop that I can later revise.
Hi Anaya,
I did NaNo once and ended up with such a huge mess I’ve been hesitant to try it again. But I like the idea of using it to experiment with something new. ~K
