Wed 1 Nov 2006
Well, November has officially begun, and we all know what month that is, don’t we?
I’m not doing it this year. I did it last year, finished it too. It was fun, it was stressing, it was exhausting and in the end I had some stuff I actually feel pretty good about. Y’know, in the midst of loads and loads of crap.
But I’m not doing it this year. At least, I don’t think I am. I just don’t feel I have the time, what with school and all. See also the part about how it was stressing and exhausting. I have done no planning, have no Idea what I would write if I were to change my mind right now, so I consider it unlikely that I will. Even if I do find time to write, I would rather spend it working on what I made last year, making that better.
Though it would be somewhat fun to just start where I ended last time and see if I could get some plot out of it. What I have so far is essentially a 50000 word introduction.

Damn, in the course of writing this post I’ve gone from “not this year” to “Well, we’ll see if there’s time.” This can’t be healthy.

Ah, right, yet another one of your insane obsessions with following other people’s frames for structuring your life instead of just structuring it yourself. I SO cannot understand why I didn’t remember that this would be the thing you talked about regarding this month…
And no, it really can’t be healthy.
Dude, if you want to write, write. If you don’t want to write, don’t write. And if you don’t have the self-discipline to write when you want to or feel you should, for God’s sake, you should be able to structure yourself without following some insane-o intitiative you’ve got nothing to do with to such a degree you feel its worthy of posting about when you’re not doing it. This is like Jensen making a fuss about the cabinet stating that they’ll keep doing what they usually do. :P
