Burnt Out

So I think that after NaNoWriMo, I'm burnt out from writing so much. I love to write but the WIP I'm currently working on is coming along at a snails pace, if that. I need a good kick in the pants to get going. I've written about 30 words in the past week. Maybe the fact that I'm working slowly is a good thing but I loved the fact that I had a novel done in the month of November. Now I want to have the same ambition.

Also, I'm a vegan and I've been trying to eat a more raw diet and get regular exercise. So that takes up much of my time too. But I feel the best I have in many months and it's great.

I think tomorrow morning I'll start by finding some new music to help push me along in my current WIP. Another thing I should also do is READ! Haven't done that in a while.

Anyway, hope all is well! Happy writing!

Deleting Chapter 1

Okay, I've deleted chapter 1 because I'm heading in a different direction with my novel now and making a lot of changes.

The weather here is crazy. It's snowing like mad. I had to drive 25 mph most of the way home.

I've been really busy with school lately too and I'm so glad this semester is done with next Tuesday. Woohoo! I need to celebrate. :)

Hope everyone is having a great week and, as always, happy writing!

First Chapter

I put my first chapter in for everyone to read. There's still much work left to be done on it, so it's kind of rough. Let me know what you think and be honest. I'm not afraid of constructive criticism! :)

My head feels so much better today too. Now hopefully I won't slip and fall again. It's terribly icy outside. Yikes!

Hope everyone had a great weekend!

Yay!

I'm so proud that I am a NaNoWriMo winner! This was my first year doing NaNoWriMo but will definitely not be my last. Hope it went well for everyone else.

Now comes the enormous task of editing my novel. I have to say that I love editing though. That's when I know just how I want my novel to be. Yay!

On a more personal, somewhat serious, somewhat funny note: The weather has been cold here and it was pretty icy today. I fell and cracked my crown on the ice! And hard too! Ouch! My head was hurting for hours. Thankfully, no one was watching. :) Winter is not fun sometimes.

Let me know if you won NaNo or how your writing is coming along.

Happy writing!
