Special Kind of Stupid
Nov. 6th, 2010 11:40 pmThat's how I am feeling at the moment for having taken on NaNoWriMo.
It isn't that I can't do it. I can write, if I do say so myself. I just do it best when I'm not under pressure, which is probably why I'm in security and not a novelist. For months now, I have been unable to stay in the habit of writing. I blame Facebook, which I need to cut out of my life if I'm going to do anything productive.
Easier said than done.
Back to my NaNo woes. I am just over 9000 words in now, which is pretty good considering at one point I was two days behind and hopelessly brain locked on what to do and how to do it. It is still not up to the par I am used to writing and that frustrates me. There's just so much to do in the real world that I keep getting distracted. I have to try and get ahead if I can tomorrow because I have a time commitment after work on Monday and Tuesday for a charity.
So, yeah. I'm pretty much seeing seeing my doing this NaNo thing as a special kind of stupid.
Good thing I've never been accused of being particularly smart!
