Writing Marathon
Why do I do this to myself!? I'm having a hard time achieving my goals these days... so today when I saw this is a writing marathon weekend at Forward Motion I decided to sign up for 10K words. I thought this might knock me out of my slump... get me over the writer's block... you know? So here I am signed up with nothing to write because most of my novels are still in rewrite phase and one is so close to the end I don't think there's another 10K words to write there.So I started a new story - a sort of magical children's fable... and I'm 1200+ words into that now. I'm writing to a younger audience than I usually do so this manuscript, though chaptered, will be shorter than most of my novels. At least that's how I've got it planned. We'll see what it develops into (you just never know).
Meanwhile I'm signed up for the April-May Dares... and haven't even started that work!! It is apparent that I've never recovered from that major stressful upset that I had on the 29th of January... because my writing life never got back on track since.
