NaNoBlog 2002
30 days. 50,000 words. No sweat.

Wednesday, October 30, 2002  

I think I have to do NaNo. Even though it doesn't make sense to most people. First, I've talked about it so much that I feel compelled to prove I wasn't all talk! But mainly, I think that if I drop out now, right when it's about to begin, after such a huge build-up, I would be so depressed about it that I would lack any motivation to work on my other novel already in progress. But at the moment, I'm short on motivation for either, so I hope I can build some excitement back up in the next couple of days! I think I'll start by looking over my notes for the NaNo novel, and also possibly retyping some of my chapters for my other novel, trying to get back in the novelist mode and polishing those up a bit. If I find a spare moment. Halloween will be pretty busy, but I should have some time tonight, after the obligatory pumpkin carving.

Unfortunately, I keep getting migraines that involve visual disturbances, and can't really write during them because I can't SEE to write. (Even when my eyes are closed, it looks like there are bright lights shining in them--very distracting.) I'm not sure what to do about that! They are new for me--I never had them until this year.
