These posts are my weekly 'round up' of the things I've been up to and the things I've seen in fandom over the past week.

NaNoWriMo? What was I thinking?

I've lost my mind if I honestly think I can win NaNo these days. Back in the day, sure. I kicked NaNo in the ass from 2009 thru... I dunno, 2014 or so?

But I gave it another go a few years back, and I believe I failed horribly.

I just can't seem to crank out 1000 words an hour like I used to be able to. The mojo dried up and the words just don't flow like that anymore. It would take me at least twice that now, and it's terrifying.

So I'm nuts. I've officially lost my mind. Because I want to sign up for NaNo this year.

I've spent the last couple weeks jumping from plot bunny to plot bunny and I keep changing my mind. I still have a couple weeks to settle, but I want the time to work on an outline, because a good outline is the only thing that'll get me through.

I used to pants my way through most things, these days I need a really detailed outline. So I'll be busy the next few weeks. I just hope I'm not burnt out on the story before I actually start writing it.
