SO I’VE BEEN DOING THE National Novel Writing Month Challenge since November 1, and let me tell you, this shit is difficult as balls. Not only does it force me to push myself, but it also requires extreme discipline. I’ve just started a new job, and learning the new system is going to be a test in and of itself.
I started this journey writing for the NaNoWriMo challenge with a few other people on some writing sites I frequent, and I’m amazed at the amount of people who are giving it their all, just as much as I’m amazed at the amount of people who have given up. The one thing that people cite as a reason to give up goes back to my last blog – they don’t have time. Sometimes people really don’t have time, they just don’t. Other times, they don’t ‘make’ the time. For those people, well, if you don’t have time, it’s … whatever.
I get it, we’re all busy. Last week I put in 50 hours at the office, not including working on art commissions and personal art projects, smaller writing projects, and making a porn. Okay, that last one isn’t true. I’m not better than anybody else and I get it; it’s an exhausting project.
At this writing, I am sitting on 31,473 words of a 50,000 novel. I am tired, and have every intention of making this happen.
