National Novel Writing Month (NaNoWriMo)

I am so ashamed of myself. I only wrote about 1,000 words today. My goal was 5,000. A laughable failure. For NaNo, I actually only needed to plug out an additional 667. But instead of writing, I spent the afternoon updating my website. Now, it's nearly 1 o'clock in the morning and my eyes are burning and I don't really have the energy to write, but I'd better do it, huh? I'd better do it.

The thing is ... the thing is I'm bored. Yes, bored with my story. I know, however, that this doesn't mean that the story is boring, just that I'm so d*rn tired that I can't make an accurate assessment of my own work. But oh, yes, I feel bored and tired and absolutely lacking in clarity and inspiration.

But I'm going to keep plugging. I have 11,000 words written. Only another 39,000 to go. I can handle that. I can do it. Yes, I can!

Oh, my! What are you doing here? Obviously, you took a wrong turn on the great information highway. No one reads this blog, absolutely no one, for good reason. It's simply the musings of a writer. Goodness knows, there are plenty of those around, most of them more interesting than this one. So move on. Go on. Shoo!

Still here? Well, if you must stick around, then do be quiet. Make no comments. Don't send out little alerts and invite your friends. This is my place and you're in it. You're welcome to take a seat in the peanut gallery, but don't utter a sound. Not a peep.

Don't let me know you're there. Or else.

About the Author

None of your business. You're not supposed to be reading this, remember? Consider what curiosity did to the cat. You're being curious and that's not good.

Go Away!

Try reading about Sara. She just signed with a big literary agent. Unlike me, she might be kind enough to tell you how she did it.

Don't you have something better to do?

Why don't you go here and learn how to make money online, or here and learn something about men? House is right. You're a nitwit.
