Writer Up!

Out of curiosity, is anyone else doing NaNoWriMo this November?

I set out to do it last year (the first year in which I had no work or school obligations eating up my time), but I planned poorly and wasn't able to get anything meaningful written at all. I'm quite disappointed with that subpar level of performance, so I truly want to "writer up" this year and get some solid pieces written, polished, and finished.

My current project, The Fracture of a Dream, is already nearing initial completion (if I write diligently this month), so I hope to finish in time to set it aside and then start a new project I have in mind during November. I also have three short stories that need to be completed. (Yes, my attention span is short and often scattered all over the place. The words, you know. They just come, and sometimes they come from different stories...)

My admiration goes to the truly devoted individuals who write outside of their full-time careers, especially if they are also parents of younger children. You are amazing, and I could never manage anything like it. I wouldn't have the energy.

Well, I better get back to writing myself. Let me know how all of you are doing on your own projects!

Keep writing,
Ren D.
