It's been a while, I know.
Off and on over the past several months, I've thought,
"Oh, I should write a blog post." And then I didn't. I could say that
I've been busy, that work and life got in the way. But really, I just haven't
felt motivated. But now, on the eve of another NaNoWriMo, I think it's time for
a comeback.
So what have I been up to?
In April, I rewrote part one of a "book" I wrote
in 2017. It was a road trip through, essentially, the Twilight Zone. One day
I'd like to make it work, but I was never really happy with the plot beyond
that first part. Still don’t know where it's going.
In July, I tried my hand at an epistolary novel. That is, a
story told via letters, journal entries, newspaper articles, etc. Turns out,
I'm not very good at writing journal entries. I knew that. I've never been able
to consistently keep a journal. Or, you know, a blog. I even thought about
writing a blog post about it, but, well, I'm bad at that. I might try to work
on that more eventually, because it was a fun idea. It was basically two people
in a post-apocalyptic world, they get separated, and we follow the journal of
one as they are following messages and clues left by the other.
But that is not what we are working on now.
Because now, or rather, in the very near future, it's NaNoWriMo.
