Honest I'm alive

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.

Hello stranger. :) Sometimes your creativity gets used up in other things. Don't worry, it hasn't disappeared, but it may not want to come out of hiding. Don't get too cross with yourself if Nano doesn't do what you hope.
But then again it might. Good luck.

Hello! How's tricks?

My creativity is involved in folding origami pumpkins at the moment. Don't ask, my life is weird. At least it's a lot of fun weird?

Mine is sewing not quite cut out even triangles together. I don't judge :)

I'm good. The original book is nearly a book (I think). I won a mentorship with the NZ Society of Authors this year. It's now draft umpty twelve, it's down to a respectable 90k words and it's back to my mentor to see what she thinks this time around. That's real progress I tell you.

Enjoy your pumpkings
(I'm just going to leave that typo there. It's kinda cute.)

That all sounds awesome. I've been keeping track as well as I can on Facebook, which admittedly isn't that well. 12 drafts is terrifying though
