It’s November.
It’s NaNoWriMo.
It’s time to buckle down and get some work done.
Yes, this is what I’ve been telling myself each day for the last 4 days. Yet, I’ve got no new words written. Why? Well, I could use the disaster of my bathroom renovation that’s going on right now as an excuse, or the fact that everyone I work with seems to be sick so I’m picking up more hours in the bar right now. (Immediate $’s in my bank account is a good thing) I could say I’m focussing on my health (again) and actually going to the gym often so that leaves little time to write….and while all of those things are true, they are not the reason I’m not writing.
I don’t know what the reason is. I even have a deadline for November 15th. Usually a deadline will give me a lot of motivation. Yet, I’m not feeling it. I keep sitting down to write, then getting up to clean the house, feed the cats, feed myself. anything to keep me from writing. I’m sure it’s a phase, and I’ll get over it. I’ve been here before, and sadly, I’ll probably be here again some time, bit for now, I want to whine. Does this happen to you? Do you know why? C’mon people, help a fellow writer out and share your writing woes so I don’t feel so alone.
