Its that time of the year, I know it well. The air grows crisp and never quite thaws, the leaves turn from green to amber and fall, and another season of NANOWRIMO is upon us.
Last year, I sat it out. Work was a mess of holiday prep, and I had my own writing projects to occupy my time with. But as the first of November approaches, I’m giving it serious thought this year. My writing over the last year has been hit or miss, and largely, miss. I’m floundering, directionless, and without much to show for the little effort I have mustered together. I could use a focus, a direction to drive in.
So, I think this year, I’m going to dive back in. It might behoove me to spend the next few weeks coming up with one of those outline things – I’ve heard they work wonders, even when they’re just a few lines to describe each chapter. And what better way to get in the mood than to listen to the intro of a classic show about writing some stores?
