Reducing my workload? No … that’s just what they’ll be expecting …

It’s been a while since I posted anything here. Too busy, too frenzied, too stressed, too distracted, too … everything to actually do any writing.

So, of course, since I’ve demonstrated I can’t actually spend any time writing, I think I’ll join NaNoWriMo this year.

Yikes.

The question is — what to write about.

I’ve had a Psiclone story rattling around in my head for a while. Or less of a story and more of series of images and scenes. I have no good idea where it’s going.

I’ve also wanted to do a Donne & Donne tale. Again, no real ideas there, aside from wanting to do it.

And, of course, I’m torn between the NaNoWriMo ideal of “No plot? No problem!” and just winging it, and wanting to do all the prep work and research and outlining and mind-mapping and all that which I know I should do if I were really serious about writing.

And, of course, I’m terrified that this is all a huge mistake.

So … we’ll see.

Best of luck to you. I’ve considered taking another crack it also, after having tried so long ago. I’m still mired in the excuses phase.
