Writers Gonna Write

I'm not going to make excuses for not updating this blog. I have none. I get all these ideas for short stories or I think of something to say that would make a good blog post, but then life gets in the way and I LET IT. I'm not talking about the good parts in life, either---those parts fill my heart and soul with joy. I'm talking about the parts that suck the life out of you. I decided I am no longer going to let them take away from what I love to do, what I feel in my heart I was meant to do. I need to be selfish. I need to make writing my life. It is my only refuge from the mad world we live in, and my safe haven from all that goes on around me...

So, here I am. Day 3 of NaNoWriMo, and I am really trying to stick with it. I have definitely done waaaay more than I have in past years since creating my account on the NaNo site. I updated my author info, I have writing buddies, I have participated in the Facebook group, I'm reading the pep talks, and I am actually updating my word count. And it's super low, nowhere near the 5,000 word mark I should be at by the end of today. I'm okay with that. I'm writing. I'm here blogging. My novel has a name. Progress, right???

I don't think anyone reads my posts, but it feels good write it all out. Ha!
 
Until tomorrow, blogging world...I leave you with this meme that is SO my current situation.
