NaNoWriMo 2010

So the end of October is fast approaching and I'm ramping up to try and complete NaNoWriMo this year. It'll definitely be different this year since I'm a stay at home mom now to a very active six month old. I'm not sure how I'll do but I figure it'll be a challenge and something else to keep me busy during his naps.

There's just one little problem: I haven't hit upon an idea that really thrills me. I need inspiration! What to do, what to do......I haven't gone though my catch all notebook yet and so maybe I have a good idea stashed away for a rainy day in it. Hmmm. Anyone else in a bind? 

Writing Misery

Still no progress on The Vardo Road. Several other ideas have been drafted out in my funky outline form though. On top of which we are trying to sell our condo and buy a house which is time consuming in and of itself. I've also been reading like a fiend which doesn't help my writing process since I use my writing time as reading time. As if that wasn't enough I've also been trying to build up my garb collection for my renactment stuff with the SCA.  Oh well...hopefully soon. 

Writing ADD

Well, let me tell you I am still not done with The Vardo Road. I've been working on it but life has been rough...I still haven't found a permanent job. I'm woeking part time at a retail store down the street and I am also the Master Electrician for Lesley University's production of The Merchant of Venice. I have, since the holidays, come up with no less than six more story ideas....and rather than jotting down the general notes and moving on I've been outlining things. My result: great story ideas that are ready for writing and waiting to be put to the page. It's taking all of my restraint to only outline them!! I wonder if this is how Danielle Steele or Stephen King feels....anyways....back to life..
