NaNoWriMo success - 2019

I managed to complete the first draft of Gifted before National Novel Writing Month (NaNoWriMo), just barely.  Then I planned on working on a book about a demon for November, but after several days, it failed to get going.  So...

A quick switch up and I started a different book, a fantasy book involving mages, humans, elves, and other things.  On the final day, at about 8PM, I managed to accomplish the 50,000 word goal.  The first draft done, I started on a second book.  Only the second time I've managed to complete NaNoWriMo, so I'm pretty happy.

The Return?

It's been a long time since I posted on here.  I became distant from my writing, only touching it briefly here and there.  Overall, I had both a lack of faith in myself, and a shortage of motivation.  If I don't feel the stories coming to me, I can't force them.  But, something has changed.

I've re-motivated, and decided I don't care who likes my stories.  If nobody ever reads them, I don't care.  They entertain me, so I will write.  I will also publish, in case anyone else finds them enjoyable.  I'm comfortable with all of that now.  And so I press on.

As for this blog, I've failed to be consistent with it, and perhaps it's time to put an end to it.  I'll leave it for a little bit, to see if I can consistently post or find value in it.  The links contained within, I will probably leave regardless.  I'll review them to ensure they all still work, and remove any that don't.  I think they're useful, at least for myself.

Well, that's it for now.  I'm working on Gifted, and trying to prepare Anger for NaNoWriMo in November.  To anyone that actually reads this, I wish you well in your writing endeavors.
