In may of 2013 I started typing away. WHY? Well I got inspiration from my life to start a novel. I had a bad 2 years. My condition worsened. I was ditched by a few dates. Worst of all I lost my best friend because we got into an argument.
A month into it, I got a friend to look at what I had. He read it and gave me positive feedback. I asked him to be my editor and he accepted. He gave me suggestions on what I could add to the story. Around the middle of June I got stuck. I was at about 4800 words.
In December of 2013 I started writing again. It was about four days till Christmas but in those four days I did around 5000 words. I stopped during the Christmas holidays. I started back up about 2 weeks after and got up to close to 21,000 words. I took a break on starting Friday January the 24th, for about a month. After the Olympics I slowly started writing again. I wrote in segments, so I wrote for like 3 days in a row, then i'd take a few days off. This didn't work too effectively, though. I ended up taking too long of breaks.
I eventually took a week long break, which stop it completely. With writing, if you stop it takes a while to get back in the groove. Sure I still did quite a bit of work, just not as much as I wanted. I did about 8000 words that month. After that I stopped. I did write some last week. In the last two months, I did do some writing though. I started to expand into other writings. I wrote two short stories in mid to late March. Then I started brainstorming for my third story, but it never panned out.
At the beginning of April, I felt a bit blue. I decided to write my feelings down in poems. The first few poems made me feel worse, but by the seventh poem I felt so good. I wrote those 7 poems in nine days. A month later I wrote two more poems. Then I had a dream that gave me a story idea. Started writing it, after I finished the intro I hated the idea. That was May 13th. In the last week I wrote one more poem. As well as 800 words in my novel. Actually this blog counts, right??? Anyway this is the end to another post! I'll be back tomorrow! Peace!
