taking the NaNoWriMo plunge

So, I think I'm going to sign up for National Novel Writing Month (NaNoWriMo). November 1st is the start date, then you write until the 30th or 50k words - whatever happens first.

I spent a good portion of today at work, trying to figure out what to write about (it was really slow at the library). I stressed over plot and conflict and ended up freaking myself out. Then I came home and told AD how I just wanted to write a story about a geeky female gamer, like myself, and he said "just write!" and I realized that DUH it's my first try, it's not going to be good, it's just going to be!

I'm feeling a bit better about it now. I'll just start typing a little bit, every single day in November, and maybe I'll grow a plot as I play with my character.

Yay, I can finally use my Dreamwidth blog! Don't worry, I'll link my entries to LJ for those of you brave enough to read my writing.

*sigh* I used to be good at it. Just like I used to be good at drawing. But then I hit this age where you start to see what other people can do, and I just gave up on a lot of stuff. I was like, that person can do it and they are doing it better than me, so why compete? Sometimes I wonder what would have happened if I hadn't given up at the first time of competition. If I just kept drawing/writing/acting even though people around me were better at it...

ah well, wouldacouldashoulda, just gotta Carpe Diem, yes? SIEZE THE FISH DAY!

Or, month, as it is in this case. :)
