I wrote a post just a minute ago, actually. But it was really melodramatic, so I trashed it. Instead, I’ll just post this:
- God is working on me, forcing me to re-evaluate some things. This is hard, but good. (And if that sounds ominous, let me add: we’re not going through anything major–this is all internal, wrestling-within-my-own-heart kind of stuff. No worries.)
- I’ll post more about it later, probably. Maybe. Suffice it to say: my priorities are being challenged and reshuffled. I need to take a step back and figure out what I’m actually working toward, and if that really matters.
- On Thursday, I’ll post some random #ThursdayThankfuls. On Monday, I’ll recap my NaNoWriMo experience. And we’ll see where it goes after that.
- Speaking of NaNoWriMo, I guess I’ll go ahead and say: I’m resigning this year’s NaNoWriMo campaign. I’m still writing (slowly), and I have a smaller goal I’d like to hit this week, but I’m not going to reach 50,000 words anytime soon. And I’m trying really hard to be okay with that.
Thanks for reading, friends. Talk to you soon.
Re:NaNoWriMo
I understand your disappointment brother. God bless!
Thanks. I’ll take another hack at it next year. It’s fun–i just wasn’t prepared.
NaNoWriMo was a total success because it got you writing again. That’s what it’s meant to do, at its heart. The goal is arbitrary. 50K isn’t really a novel. When I was querying novels, most agents wanted something more than 60K.
