March is upon us now and I intend to redo a writing challenge next month. This time, tho, I will make it a weekly challenge: I intend to work on my writing career for 8 hours a day, 5 days a week like any average Joe Worker! Which means 40 hours a week.
I will leave the little progress bar there on the side of my blog and will update it to 40 hours a week. We'll see what March will bring us :)
If I wanna make up excuses as to why this NaNo 2 has failed, I can say that the book fair ate up a lot of my time while giving me a nice sinus infection that kept me in bed for a couple of days but I guess if I wanna be totally honest, I have to admit that the problem this month was me. Like most everyone else, February hits hard on my mood and I find myself buried under feet of snow and self-doubt (a nice follow-up to my previous post, uh?). I have been trying to chase all those thoughts away but there comes a time when I just feel outnumbered! Thank goodness I have wonderful friends to pick me up in those times. ^_^
I will keep this post short for I feel mentally very drained lately. The brain is a muscle and clearly, mine is bent out of shape and has turned into a couch potato!! :P
Gotta train it a bit more everyday and whip it back into shape!
Talk to you all in March! :)
Till then, keep your thoughts happy!!!
Since so many people are saying it, I guess it's true what winter does to our creative juices. Heck, even NaNo calls January and February the "now what" months right? People just flop around with their stories like a fish out of water. But with spring comes new life! The snow will melt and the life in our hearts begins to grow new branches! Let's start something new every month!
ReplyDeleteI think for myself, I won't set any hour or word goals - BUT leave my progress bar on my blog and continue to fill it up whenever I have time. My theory is that without setting goals, we don't have to feel guilty about not breaking them. Maybe that will also make us more productive!
