I just passed 58,000 words. You know why? Because my muses are slave drivers, that's why. Today, I think I'm going to take a bit of a break from writing-- if they let me, that is-- and spend some time doing other things.
I will say that this writing has been causing slight problems. I've been ignoring people I love and care about in favor of writing, and that's part of the reason I've been going slower than normal these past few days. My partner's doing this too, but she has school and homework, so her word count isn't as high as mine. I'm sure her writing is better than mine, though. She's such a talented author, and I hope one day people will be able to read her work as they can read mine: published.
I digress. Today is a day of rest, especially considering I've already written about 2k words today. I'm going to try and step away from the little-- okay, big-- world I've created and live in the real world for a while.
Wish me luck!
I enjoy reading your musings, Joey...maybe because it sounds lik my brain crawled inside yours somehow when we weren't looking. (I wrote a story about that once, called "The Accidental Avatar." Never finishd it, but maybe soon. Next nano, maybe).
ReplyDeleteMy muse, too, is a scourge, a nag, a very harpy who will not let loose of my mind or my guts either. Wanna trade?
Thank you! That concept is awesome, and I think you should finish it. I know I'd read it.
ReplyDeleteOh man, once this muse decides he wants his story written, there's no letting go. It's a family trait! I think a trade would just give us more of what we already have.
