My summer courses are done, so I might be around more and will probably be writing more than usual (although that is definitely not saying much, haha).
I've been writing primarily poetry for the last few years, and almost exclusively it is what I post on here, but lately I've been feeling like writing some longer-form works: short stories, possibly some work on the novel I've had swirling around in the back of my head for years. We'll see, I guess.

Nanowrimo #2, Electric Boogaloo!
I failed quite spectacularly last year to meet my goal, but it did get me to actually start my book, and that's a win. This year, I continue! I have a modest goal of adding 15k words to my existing ~17k or so.
I'm sure I'll get around to putting a short story up sometime soon, too. I still have that unfinished one in my stash...
It has been a minute, hasn't it?
I somehow haven't done anything on here for months, eek! But thankfully I have not been entirely creatively stagnant. My book is now at a semi-respectable 14.7k words, which is a good start. However, I have been writing rather infrequently of late. I continue to forget that the only times I write consistently are the times when I make myself sit down and do it. I think about it more when it's in front of me, and I get results. I don't know why I've been so averse to it lately; as I'm in an interesting part of the story. But then, I don't much understand how to corral my anxiety and get it to let me do things. If I did, I'd be much more produc
Getting back on the writing horse.
The days have been blending together of late, other than the weekends. As a result, it feels like time is passing much faster. While I thought I'd been doing well in terms of writing frequently, it's somehow been weeks since I've put words to the page. I'm going to end that streak of 'zero' days tonight, and try to implement a no-zero day policy (at least when I'm home) from here out, since that seems to be the only thing that will get me to write consistently. Whether it's 20 words or 200 or 2,000; no zeroes.
Still working away.
So the last little bit I've been feeling rather bored while alone and writing the book has been by far the most engaging thing I do in my alone time, so I've been progressing the plotting and the actual manuscript a fair bit, though mostly on the "sorting out issues" side and not as much on the "amount of words written" side. But that's still useful progress and plenty of words have been written, nonetheless. I am actually enjoying the ongoing process of revision as I write, which I didn't think I would, and I think the project is much better for it. I'm going to try to avoid reddit and youtube a bit more, as I seem to have been able to mostl

So this didn't end up panning out. But I have been having some ideas, lately.
