something I am grateful for today
Oct. 28th, 2020 02:34 pmI know I haven't gratituded in a long time. I know I keep telling myself I will do it every day. I know it's more effective the more ya do it. I know, I know, I know.
But I saw something today that reminded me about it, and here I am back on the horse. No good comes of berating myself for being remiss, so, rather, allons-y.
Today I am grateful that my notes on my next novel are coming together well, and I feel very prepared to tackle NaNoWriMo next week. Back in February I was so deeply stuck on this story that I gave it up. After writing four novels last year, I found myself unable to muster one. So I diverted myself into painting, and then my new comic strip. But things started shifting in late summer, and the story started pestering me again, and falling into place better. And now I am back in Writer Mode. [Not sure if a Real Writer like![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
ginsu would consider me one, but IMHO I'm close enough for horseshoes.]
The way things look and feel now, I expect to be able to hit my 50,000 words next month, and go beyond, and finish this book. And after my production last year, no, I am not a failure for only writing one novel in a year, so there.
