NaNoWriMo...of sorts

Morning! 

'Tis that time of year again, and once again I'm half-heartedly participating. I'm kind of the person on the sidelines, cheering on the real runners, but also diving at my own laptop when I can. 
  I will know I've truly become dedicated when I can really participate in NaNoWriMo, and complete the 50,000 word count. 
 In the meantime, I am going to remind myself to not take my Broken Bloodlines series so seriously, and to have fun with it. I'm doing much reshaping of the characters and storyline, and I think I'm getting it closer to what it needs to be.

No sense in that

yearning

yet it lingers, haunting
waiting for resolve

My Prediction About Kim Kardashian

Don't give me shit about writing this post, guys. Because you're in this post, reading it right now so you must have been interested enough.
  Anyways, here's my prediction about Kim Kardashian: As most know, since she was traumatically awoken by robbers in her Paris hotel a few weeks ago, she has been almost non-existent on social media. For good reason, no one faults her for that.
  My husband and I disagree on the outcome of that incident- he thinks that Kim will forever be a hermit, and no one will ever see her again. He thinks she's permanently damaged.
  Myself, on the other hand, think that yes, she will definitely take her time getting back to it. Maybe several years, maybe a decade.
  However, Kim K. will come back. It will be a different Kim K., for sure, but she will resurface when she's ready. And I'm very interested to see what that new Kim K. is like.

One of my Hurdles

Good Evening,

  I am forcing myself to write tonight. And because I can't quite focus enough to make progress on either articles or novels, I blog.

I have had no writing creativity/energy this week. And I know its because I put in a writing marathon last weekend.

This is one of my writing hurdles- I am still incapable of keeping writing marathons going. After a tremendous word count binge, I dry up for a week. And like, bone dry. To the point where I want to Netflix & Chill only.

To my credit, the week before and all weekend I was crushing the word counts & assignments. Got em all done.

Maybe this is just my natural cycle. Maybe I can't change this. Or maybe I just need to make more effort.

This Post Turned Into a Rant about Pumpkin Spice. Oops.

GOOD MORNING!!
 
  Ah, a blissful calm Saturday of writing and listening to music and loving my kitties. I've got a erotica ghostwriting gig to finish and I just started the first of two delicious French press coffees, with the perfect amount of coconut creamer and sugar. (Blogger, you need to install an emoticon effect. I could really use at least three tongue-licking-chops-faces right now. Make it happen.) 
 I haven't been working on either Broken Bloodlines or The Underbelly Series. Poor things, are just withering in the cloud. But I imagine that I will soon surge back into it. The fall always brings out the Better Writer in me. The guilt that chases me around all spring and summer when I'm inside writing and not OUTSIDE ENJOYING THE WEATHER finally recedes, and my page count increases as the temperature drops outside.
  I would imagine a lot of you are like that, also. I love the fall, its an amazing season. The only thing that I wish would drop out of our society's orbit, is that damned pumpkin spice nonsense. The drinks, the baked goods, the lip glosses (dear god)....pumpkin flavored beer?? What the hell is wrong with people? I feel like those fall-flavor suckers are just drinking and eating the shit because its a yearly fad. They don't even like any of it.
  Okay, I'm done ranting. Back to writing.

Bugaloo Boo

Hey there,
   I apologize for the blogging falling off. I've jumped back on the freelance article/story writing and am having pretty good success. Both in this life and my real life ;)
