Not giving up

Ok, I'm really, REALLY behind on NaNoWriMo this weekend. I haven't written nearly anything I should have in the past several days.

But I'm not giving up. I'm considering resetting my goals, but still working to finish the story. Whatever it may turn out to be.

Here we go again!

All or Nothing?

If you love someone, let them go. If they come back they're yours. If they don't, they never really were in the first place.


I'm not sure if this is true; it seems counterintuitive. But I definitely am trying to let go, to take a step or two back and just breathe.

It's hard, though. It feels like I have a hole in my heart.

[W]hy do they always teach us that it's easy and evil to do what we want and that we need discipline to restrain ourselves? It's the hardest thing in the world--to do what we want. And it takes the greatest kind of courage. I mean what we really want.

The Fountainhead, Ayn Rand

NaNoWriMo week 1

Ok, this week has been a bit rough and I'm paying for it now in my wordcount. Here's the plan, I'm getting up early to write, and going to write. Going to bed later, after writing. Thinking about the novel and the plot and my characters, and not other things I cannot control.

Sounds good, sounds like a plan.

Hope I can stick to it.
