Writing, photo and cleaning things
When I was younger I used to write a lot. I had many fantastical world’s of my own with hundreds of stories based in them, as I got older I delved into the world of fanfic. My stories got lengthier, and at a few given times I had enough paper written on that could be a novel. When I turned 21 or around there, I just stopped writing. I know the reasons why now, er I should say reason. He was the reason for me stopping a lot of things I enjoyed doing, but that’s another blog entry.
Over the past couple years, I have less than half heartedly thought I’d participate in NaNoWriMo or National Novel Writing Month. One year I actually started out well. I had a designated notebook, character workup sheets, 3 lead characters mapped and outlined in complete detail. I even got as far as writing about 3 chapters and then I lost interest, mostly because I had no plan on where my story was going to go. I have signed up again this year to try again. Probably a foolish idea due to having to tend to Lucien so much, but I’m willing to give it a go. No character workups, no plans. I just want to sit down and write. 50,000 words in a month. Hrm.
Another writing challenge that I’ve discovered in the past 24 hours is NaBloPoMo or National Blog Post Month. This is a more obtainable goal for me. 30 posts in 30 days; 1 post a day. I’ve already got a list of “what to write about” because I really want to use this as a challenge to my blog writing, plus you get to maybe hear some good tales of my past or something. My blog used to be much more entertaining 3-5 years ago, maybe not well written, but definately more interesting. It’s a lot to say that because I remember being told by several other bloggers through “blog jumping” that my site was rather dull in content *L* So if that was dull, dear God help me with my blog right now!
I’m also going to do this 30 posts in 30 days with Picturing as well. I don’t know if it will be included on the official list or not yet, but I’ll play along with it anyways. Oh and there is 26 Things. Thankfully I have November’s photo club photo already or I’d be in trouble, as NOvember is looking to be a full month of creativity. I’m either going to rip ahead and do something amazing like all the projects, end up sticking to one or two of them, or fail miserably in all of them.
Let’s also throw in the fact my Mom arrives on the First and will be here for the first 10 days. I need to start cleaning the guest room. It’s in shambles. I have a plan of attack, I just have to get a move on it. To do that I need some free time where I’m not crazy sick feeling. I’ve had a wretched beast of a cold the past week and a bit. So we shall see where this leads me. Either to great things or total failure. Here’s hoping!
