I either have dissociative identity disorder or bipolar disorder.
Hear me out.
When I went to bed last night I was done with writing. Done. I had some tears, but mostly apathy. Shit, I was ready to box up all of my How To Write references and donate them to . . . somewhere. I woke up this morning completely jazzed about life and writing again.
This is absolutely maddening, people. This isn’t the first time this has happened and I’d be willing to stake a small fortune on it happening again (soon).
Earlier this week I had been playing with an idea I have since decided to implement. Some of you are aware that I’m jacked to participate in NaNoWriMo this year and some of you are also aware that I have been entertaining house guests since Wednesday evening and have had very little time to do much of anything (better excuse than “I’m too tired after a long day of work,” right?). So! Fuck proper time constraints. My NaNoWriMo is Nov 7 – Dec 6. It’s not 3DNC and I’m only doing it to kick-start an idea I had a year and a half ago.
Seriously. Try living in my head for five minutes, it’s a goddamn roller coaster.
UNT.
Damn straight! NANO is about getting your idea down, without letting worries about any of the “rules.” screw the rules and just write!
I like you. Stick around!
LOL, I hope of of that energy come our way to NL, lol.
Will. I started a re-write on my October piece and I like it miles and miles more than what I’d had before. The gist of it is the same, but the presentation is a bit smoother so far.
Funny, this happens to creative people a lot.
One minute you love it, the next you’re ready to give up entirely. It is just a way of life. I don’t think you ever get used to it though. *hugs* Just keep doing what you do. The NanoWrimo challenge is the same whether you do it starting the first or the sixth. You just keep plugging.
This is what I love about NaNo so far.
Thanks chick, I appreciate it!
(I WILL write you back. I promise!)
I’m glad that you’re psyched for writing again, Vyx. I know the apathy that comes every now and then. But you’re good, very good, and I love your stuff. Plus, I’d miss you on Tempest if you gave it up.
Thanks doll. I’m glad I can be moderately impressive at times.
Moderately impressive?! And you called me the moron.
Don’t underestimate yourself.
Okay I’m totally not commenting on the written context (though I did read it lol)
YOU ARE SO FREAKIN AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am totally in heat over Robbie Williams and this video.
He’s totally beyond being in heat over, hey? Hot. DAMN!
<3
You make me smile. Keep it up!
Oh honey. <3 I'll never claim to know exactly how you feel, but I do know what it's like to feel absolutely fucking insane. I may be clumsy, but I'm here. <3
And I love you for it. I don’t think you have any concept of how much.
You lit up my night, last night, chicklet. Thanks for the hug and the giggles.
