Not that I'm procrastinating or anything...
I just can't seem to get any significant writing done this month. My usual monthly word count is right up there, but ever since I signed on for NaNoWriMo, I've had no end of distractions and minor, unimportant, annoyances to keep me away from the computer.
All November I've managed to blog, plurk, twitter and email as usual, but the moment I sit down with a spare half day to get some real writing work done.... [insert sigh here]
What is it about November that makes it unsuitable for writing? Is it too close to Christmas? Maybe the "silly season" has started early this year. I've already noticed a manic pace around the streets.
Whatever the cause, it has started to intrude upon my quiet writing space.
I still haven't given up on NaNoWriMo. I won't make my 50,000 word count, but I'm going down fighting. Even with the distractions, I've written more than 20,000 words. That's not bad considering how little time I've had.
So, if you're out there somewhere struggling with your writing and feeling like you're not getting anywhere, you're not alone. I'm struggling away here too.
It's a writer thing, I think. We just never give up. Even if it's only a paragraph a day, we keep on writing.
Smile, fellow writers, it's only November. It too will pass.
Cheers
