You read that correctly. I have not used my computer in months. Don't get me wrong, I've been "connected" through my phone but when I want to do a LOT of writing, the phone doesn't get it. I have not been in a writing mood.
I have not been in the "mood" for much. It could be that I was just feeling the dark part of the year - even with all of the sunshine we've had here in California. This hibernation period would have been a great time to write and I did not take advantage of it. With daylight savings started and Spring coming, I am beginning to come out of it.
I have three projects in the works:
The novel - which I started years ago - is standing at 11, 327. It's time to add to it. I need to do some free writing on it to get that word count up. There's another event going on by the
NaNoWriMo folks
- Camp NaNoWriMo - and I could join in on that for a push. Writing begins in 16 days. I may hop in if I can use my current novel.
A story based on a photo - this ended up being about child abuse. I was probably inspired because I was deep into my work with Child Advocates of El Dorado at the time. I need to go back and read it.
An erotica piece - which is totally lame and needs to be scrapped. HA! I'll try again later. This was just for kicks and giggles.
I am recreating my writing space - I removed my desk some months ago as I am trying to go "minimalist" in my living space. Sitting on the bed with the laptop is not good for
my back and it is far too easy to just lean back and watch tv or nap. I also have an office space that I am allowed to use where I can get away from the home distractions.
I will blog daily. It may just be a simple journal prompt response, but it will get me in the habit of writing every day. I may not post whatever it is to the Facebook Page, but it will be here to be read.
Anyway..... Hi! I'm still around and you can expect progress on the novel by the end of the week.
Happy Monday!
