  • I often find myself wondering if what I’m writing is terrible. I mean, I can actually read it again without going ‘oh dear god that’s awful’ which is an improvement on stuff that I’ve written in the past.

    But then I wonder if I thought that about stuff I’ve written in the past. Did I at the time manage to re-read it and not think it was awful?

    The only things that give me slight hope are that I’ve read published stuff that I think is worse than what I’ve scribbled down and that I’ve left it months now, returned to it, and not wept at the ineptitude of it.

    So perhaps it’ll turn out okay*

  • NaNoWriYr?

    So my NaNoWriMo entry which I keep poking at and which is now an awesome 24681 words long (so close to half way!). I had an urge to stick the stats in to the NaNoWriMo graph (because it looks so sad, the way it flatlined at the end of the month) and then I found out that you can’t… It really is NaNoWriMo, and they won’t let you tweak it after.

    Oh such sadness.

    I might have to try shades creativity spreadsheet, as part of my policy of trying to poke me into creativity.

    On the plus side, words.
