I have 7 days left, including today, until NaNoWriMo kicks off, and the idea of writing makes me feel tired and headachey. I am going to do it, though, just to prove that you can write even when you really, really don't want to.

No, I don't know why. Even blogging is making me feel tired, which is a massive change from what I used to be. Even now I'm here, I can't imagine not loving writing, so there's definitely something weird going on. I still have stories, they're just played out in RP, and it's not like I'm totally down because everything is awesome. It's just writing. Weird.

So I'm going to reread Just A Mistake and see if I can work out where I was going with it, then go there.

Good luck! I think when you get out of the habit of writing it's hard to get back into it. There are days when I don't want to write, but I make myself anyway, even if it's just a few words.

I'm sure youi can do it.

I will post here a lot looking for a kick up the bum. It's hard to believe now just how prolific I was a few years ago.

It seems to go in cycles. I'm in my prolific phase now, but who knows how long it will last? Perhaps NaNo will kick-start another writing phase for you. I can only hope!

My fingers are crossed. On the one hand, it would be nice to be prolific again. But on the other, I really don't have the time! Every day at work I seem to pick up new tasks.

There's never enough time to do the things that have to be done, never mind the things that you want to do. The time to write has to come from somewhere and that usually means NOT doing something else. As long as you enjoy the writing when you have the time to do it, that's what matters.

It's Contest Week on one of my favourite prompt sites, so for a week, all I do is write. Anything but the most important chores gets left. Next week will be spent catching up with everything I ignored this week. Good thing it's only one week every three months!
