Tweet of the Day, NaNoWriMo Continues To Spiral Inward edition.

My relationship with NaNoWriMo has always been at arm’s-length. Every November, I sit down and try to get at least fifty thousand words out, because it’s great for getting me that crucial first draft. But I never got into that entire world. Good instincts, I suppose.

GM frens. Here’s your daily dose of dumb courtesy of #NaNoWriMo’s org giving the thumbs up to AI novels in the name of Tumblr Buzzwords like ‘Ableism’ and ‘Classism’. https://t.co/sZJf7bhJFD

Thinking about NaNoWriMo…

…Got two choices: I could finish that fantasy Western I started last year, or I could do that alternate history pulp detective story I’ve been thinking about doing. Although obviously the next novel after this one is going to have to be BANSHEE BEACH. Still up in the air about what book to work on after that, though. Thoughts?

I regret nothing.

Trying to find a rhythm to all of this.

Had to claw to get that much, but at least I have it written out now.

My wife has taken the position that I need to ease up on my expectations for this year’s NaNoWriMo, and she’s not wrong. It’s writing. I’m doing it. I need to be okay with the pace I’ve set for myself.

Another NaNoWriMo Bye Day.

It’s weird. Usually I can make freaking wordcount. I’m not depressed, not oppressed, I want to write this novel, and I even know how it’s supposed to go. Still, I’m just spinning my wheels all the time. I wish I knew why. Maybe I’m just not in the mood?
