Well now. You've inspired me. I will join this challenge. I've been hankering to do something different from the Thrifty Words Theme Challenges. Something with the potential for a longer word count.
I must likely won't start right away. I'm still in the middle of a move. Black mold had just been found in the house we just bought so they're needs to be remediation before we move in. I need a day job. You know, lots of love stuff going on. I have just started journaling again. I bought myself a lovely blank journal for my birthday and started writing in it on my birthday. I have another school notebook for just stories.
I may start there.
Thank you for these newsletters. I truly enjoy reading your thoughts and your thought processes.
I've only tried nano once. I wrote a lot of words, but no real story and I burned out and gave up. Kudos to you for finishing 6 times even if you think the stories are shit. It's still a huge accomplishment.
There's no rush, it's quite a commitment. Says the guy who started in January and still needs/wants to finish!
That Black Mold sounds scary, ever since my wife and I heard about Britney Murphy we eye common mildew with something akin to abject terror.
That is a lot on, maybe start when things settle a bit?
Journalling sounds great. I love a new journal although I've really been able to keep the habit going. Any advice for that?
Finally, thank you so much for your kind words. It means a lot to know these posts are helpful.
Thank you, I do love Nano the community spirit is great. And I've still got all those drafts, so sometime in October I plan on diving in and finding something to publish maybe as a serial. :)
Yes. Black mold is terrifying! I hope it will all be remediated before we move. If necessary, wet can stay with my mom or my brother until it's all done. I think it's mostly confines to the basement.
I've had good success keeping a journal when I make it pretty of my bedtime routine. I can write down all my successes of the day, my complaints, my gratitudes, and worries. I can detail my plans for the next day. I find I accomplish more is I've written down what I need to do the day before. Even just a short page. I've found more success with the tires of journals that have a spot for the date. Not sure why that helps.
I'll make a commitment to start no later then January 1. That gives me time to settle in. I'll even put it on my calendar!
Wow that's interesting, I've always tried to do it in the morning, as paired with Morning Pages. Perhaps, as you say, I should just try it at night. A reflective close to the day and a look towards tomorrow. Thanks that's helpful. :)
Haha awesome, let me know when you start, or better yet tag me so I can cheer you on and read your stories too! :-D
Will do.
