I read through this blog to refresh my memory. It wasn't a long read 😁. I know, I know. There had been stretches of time that I have not been on here even when I said I intended to blog more often. I won't make any promises, but the fact is, I really want to get back at it for reasons I will post about in future blog entries.
There are a couple of topics that have come up a few times: NaNoWriMo and writer's block. Firstly, I no longer participate in NaNo since my last post (back in 2019). I simply outgrew it and I find the commiserating not helpful for me. I have been working as a travel RN up and down the West Coast and couldn't keep up with writing groups. The discipline of daily writing, however, has stayed with me and is a very useful asset. I also recently heard about the site's problems with moderators. Ugh.
As to writer's block, I would go for stretches of time not being able to get on with my stories. It's the same way with my crochet.
However...
I have been journalling almost daily. So as far as writing goes, I am writing. Mostly I write introspectively, of life happenings, of mundane daily life that, really, and at this time, I'm grateful that I have a boring life! But, I have a journal section of plots, a collection of characters, and scenes/dialogs that I need to get on with my novels.
Anyway ...I'm off to a great start. Finding that this blog is still here made my day! I also got my crocheting mojo back. This year's goals: get a novel finished and see about self-publishing, get into freelance copyediting, and get my crocheted goodness juried for the Farmers Market this coming April.
