Has seemed to stall my NaNoWriMo attempts - that and my computer lost itself in some kind of bug... then I went on camp. Needless to say, I cannot finish it now...

Oh well, there is always next year, and a whole heap of prose things to try out from various clubs.

But please - push me!

NaNoWriMo

Well, the amount of writing hasn't exactly increased at this point- gone a little bit over board with finding stamps and placing them up.

One thing which has increased is my stitching, I'm back with that, which I'm really happy with!

Other than that... bring on NaNoWriMo...!

wow... this took a while

I haven't written anything substantial in SUCH a long time. Not since my laptop wiped my writing folder off one of my USBs and I lost about 6 months to a year of work (possibly even 2 years)... I haven't managed to write it again and it really ground me to a halt again.

But I have taken up an invite to write something new with a friend which will most turn out to be a graphic novel, and while I have been exploring my characters and have been writing a bit, at that point I wasn't adding much up onto here.

But I'm back - as well as doing some more uploading, I will also be doing NaNoWriMo again, which should jumpstart my writing again!

Gee... did I fall off the wagon. I have an excuse/explanation...

I got a job very soon after I did that last journal update. My first, full time job. Therefore, what have I been doing rather than writing (much) for the last six months or so? Working - attempting to mold (and control) young minds.

Plus, one day I discovered that something had wiped my entire writing folder off my USB. Nothing else, just all my writing. Which immediately lost about six months worth of work on my novel and all that kind of stuff. All I have now is a very old version of my work and I stalled. (I do still have all the writing I did for the write every day of the year which is kept here - :icon007-tatterdemalion:, which unfortunately for the most part does not include the stuff which I lost on my USB, and was a continution from the place I had been up to - the last 3 chapters between what I had in my old files and my new writings is what I have lost)

I can't write it. and I haven't managed to write anything else other than a few paragraphs since.

I'm going to try and be good and start writing again. To reduce the pressure, I'm going to do some wordspills as they come up from :iconwordspill: - that way hopefully even though I'm working (a lot) and travelling to and from work (a long way), I'll still have some writing outlets.

Wish me luck!!
