So this year I am participating in something called Nanowrimo. November is the National Novel Writing Month, get it, NaNoWriMo? And so in the month of November you have to challenge yourself to write 50,000, the length of a novel. We are 11 days in and I am falling behind quite quickly. Writing is something that is easy when you know what you're writing. But I didn't outline or anything, I just went for it. The word count goal for today is 18,333 and i currently have 14,582. During the beginning of the month I was feeling real good, I met the goal each day, if not more. But the past couple of days I have been feeling really uninspired. I have no motivation to write anything, at all. Even this blog post is a struggle. But I know if i don't catch up now, I never will. Everyone needs motivation sometimes, even if what they need it for is a passion of theirs. Not everyday can be a winner. I've been finding inspiration (and motivation) from books and other writers. The only problem with this, is that I will want to continue the book, which severely cuts into my writing time. So this was a quick update, let's see if there will be more to come. Hopefully, there will be one when I hit 50,000 words.
