Ramblings of a Samurai and his Duct Tape

This years failure is next years motivation

Well, I'm gonna call it. There's no way I'm going to be breaking that 50k for nano with my current 12k. I was really psyched for doing nano this year, but my mind was in just too many places. I should have figured things would be different this year after last year... Well I guess I did know it would be different. But I thought it would be easier with all sorts of extra time.





I've never really settled into a routine this fall with going back to school. I think that is a big part of the problem. But then again I never had an idea that I felt I could run with. I worked on four different stories and only got 12k. I prepped 2 stories during october, one of which I abandoned during prep, and the other I abandoned after about 1500 words.





I did start to get some progress going on the werewolf story, but I never really got going. I just never found my discipline this time around. Too easy to slip into a bunch of those old habits from the first time I attended college, and I did. I've had so many goals with coming back to school, and I'm screwing up on all but the most important one; The goal to get my degree. That is the ultimate reason I came back, so at least there's that.





The other ones, like writing and losing weight, I'll have to make a better effort on those after I get settled into a job I guess. To every one of my friends that has made it through nano this year, I applaud you. And I did sponsor a bunch of people in the write a thon, so at least I'm giving through that a bit.
