So many times they talk about opening their novels and going over them in the NaNo forums. That's why I haven't been there recently. I still have that day knocked off on my calendar. January First. I'll break out the leftover Arbor Myst, and do what I've been trying to do for the entire night. Forget that I have a massive hangover and rereading my novel.
Pen in hand for obvious crap that I'll notice. Oh and a list of what my characters look like. Because they change several times in the time of the story.
I've been feeiling a little uninspired. My rats aren't helping as much as I though thtey would for the Pirats story. And I called in sick today because I did feel like crap when I woke up this morning. And oh, what a run-on. I think that's why I went back to try to work on WolfKin. Because I'm tired of writing on the computer.
I was happy to find my journal again. I thought I lost it and no, it was sitting on my desk burried. The Pirvate stickers on the front, still there, and the 3D picture of Snakes on a Plane on the back still intact. That sticky stuff on the back picture are still there. Yes yes.
I tried going back to working on FOBHS like I had a few months before but even my own psuedo-secret society isn't helping. I've been reading a lot more lately. And that's helped a bit. But the inspiration isn't there. I keep digging, 1 hr. at a time even so. But it's like slogging through water.
I'm thinking I'm going to start handwriting things. Because I do a lot of typing at work and computer work at work and I just need something that says "now is not the time to defrag, now is the time of writing. That's what my computer used to represent. Sitting down and falling into my own world of fantasy. I miss it. But work as it is, has changed that. And so going back to writing by hand will help.
I've thought about getting an honest to god typewriter. A really nice one, with buttons and knobs and doohickeys. Yes. a word processor. Or an Alphasmart. BUt at the same time, same principle. There's no novelty in it. (no pun intended).
