NaNoWriMo fail

I was fairly enthusiastic about NaNoWriMo for the first two weeks. Then… I got tired of it. And annoyed by it. And frustrated with myself and my apparent inability to write anything that didn’t suck. So I stopped, and for two weeks, I didn’t write at all.

In those first two weeks I wrote 20,623 words. I guess that’s something. Plus this past weekend I wrote a chapter I feel really good about.

Anyway, just had to get that out there, because I felt like I couldn’t post another blog until I fessed up. Hence the weeks of silence.

Um… there’s always next year?

    Yeah, I failed miserably myself. I guess I didn’t feel as attached to the story as I’d hoped. Maybe writing in third person objective wasn’t such a good idea after all. :P

    Oh well, at least I’ve got another manuscript going, to go back to when I feel like it. Next time maybe I’ll have a more interesting story. And meanwhile I think I’ll focus on short stories. That’s hard enough as it is.
