Breaking through the Block!

[msmoon]

Whoa, disappearing act once more. I’ve been kinda feeling restless and useless if only because I feel like I’ve gotten into a rut with my writing and everything. I even joined up on NaNoWriMo in hopes that it’d spur me into action. But I still haven’t felt all that excited about writing. But last night I had a mini-breakthrough. I turned my computer off around 9 and took my sleeping pills. But I knew it’d take a while. I got a small idea for the story that I’m writing for NaNoWriMo, and it made me feel kinda bad, because I’d already turned my computer off. Now, usually, I’d brood about that and just turn in. But this time, I grabbed a notebook and just started writing in bed. And I didn’t stop till I got sleepy.

When I stopped for the night, I counted and had 5½ pages of the story! I was so excited! I mean, I know that 5½ notebook pages is only about 2 typed up pages in the computer but still! I’ve written virtually nothing in the past 3 months. So this was a much-needed break through. I think I’ve decided that at or around 9, this computer will be turned off, and I’m gonna get ready for bed and grab the notebook and see if it works 2 nights in a row. It doesn’t even have to be story, it could be a character profile or description of a place; as long as the writing comes through that’s what matters. If it does work, I’ll have a writing routine established.

Normally, I’d try to type up everything on Saturday, but this Saturday, me and a few of the other ladies from ISR have to head into New Orleans for a seminar XP. I hate New Orleans. I hate having to go there for any reason. But Mrs. Ellen’s pretty much decreed that we all need this seminar for some reason or another, so we might as well just bear it, ne?

That reminds me, I have and OBGYN appointment next week =_____= Joy /sarcasm. But it’s been about a year so I suppose it’s warranted.

Well, I’m gonna go check on the rents and finish getting ready. Later!
