On and Off
NaNoWriMo has been a struggle for me this year, this is not the first time that it has, but at times the writer’s block feels like a horrendous acne treatment.
I think it’s because a lot of the topic is very familiar to me in a haunting sort of way. It touches very close to real fears and issues that I have, as well as being surreal and fantastic, so when one of those “close to home” scenes is coming up I find myself hesitating to write and having to really zone out and just type in order to get those things out.
Still each day I’m managing to write at least a couple of hundred words, today I’ve written a thousand. These aren’t the average NaNo goals which is just over 1600 words per day, but it’s still writing and I’ve only had one day where I didn’t officially up my word count at all, so these are good things.
