NaNoWriYe Day 149

Dissatisfaction. Is the worst feeling in the world. I just feel so dissatisfied with myself, or maybe overpowered. Even my own blog makes me feel a little disgusted. I wouldn't be surprised if I took it down soon. My artistic self (writing, art, photography, blogging, everything) is just taking a toll from some invisible force. I read a blog post today where a girl I consider a dear friend said "I have a hundred unfinished writings" and she doesn't care, because they are ideas and they're sitting in her computer, waiting for her.

At first, it made me feel better.

And now I'm back to feeling like crap again.

I think I might need a break from this artistic thing.

NaNoWriMo Day 136

I've gone and lost count of my words again, because I'm a lazy sod, but also because I haven't been writing much lately. Unless you count those massive stories with Gene that are NOT SUITABLE FOR PUBLIC CONSUMPTION. Not even scrambled. >_< I'm hoping that since summer has *finally* begun, I can catch up with myself and recount everything I've missed. Log back into Spork Room and fill out those prompts, write a prompt for Vindie's #3 because I HAVEN'T because I am LAZY and UNINSPIRED.

Bleck. It's been a crappy year for writing.

NaNoWriYe Day 115

Progress: 78K. THANK YOU EIKA for all those marvelous prompts.

Progress on Circle of Nimue: 200 words. T_T I am at the most ridiculous impasse ever. Thanks for getting stuck in a forest (literally!)

Other Progress: Ideas for NaNoWriMo! MEEP! Once AGAIN, THANK YOU EIKA. Those prompts are lifesavers. I was looking over my replies and I got two of the happiest plot bunnies! I just hope they don't die by the time November rolls around. O_O

Status: Still exhausted.

Random Notes: I just realized. Years participated in NaNoWriMo? Two. Novels actually FINISHED? Ze-ro.

I lost interest in them after a while; they got out of hand. *sighs* I are insane.

NaNoWriYe Day 112

Progress: 75K.

Circle of Nimue progress since last update: Close to zilch. Should most likely rectify that.

Ideas for November: Circle of Nimue sequel (Gah, I'll need to finish number one first!). Completely new theme (if I wanted to kill myself, maybe. T_T)

Status: Exhausted.

LIFE RULES: On the Scariness of Roller Coasters and the Satisfaction of Saying Yes

Life Rule #10: "Just met" is not just an obstacle, it's the accelerator to what might prove a rocking roller coaster ride. Love it, live it, go with it. Be scared, be amazed, be loved, be happy. "Just met" will no longer be an obstacle.

(Thank you for coming into my life. My only regret was that it wasn't sooner.)

Life Rule #11: "No" might be the way to stand strong, but there is satisfaction and happiness to be found in saying "yes".

(Thank the gods I didn't let my sensibilities rule my mouth.)

NaNoWriYe Day 90

Wow, three months! And I've got slightly more than 66K written, which means I'm an entire month ahead. This is good. I'm going to need it -- April is looking to be a very bad month for the creative juices.

I've started writing The Seventh Druid again. I can't remember most of my notes, which means I'm going to need to start writing them down. I can't remember any of the history or the plot I had figured out; I can't even remember what my characters look like! O_O

For that reason, I am going to post some character profiles and/or info here later.

Later...

(from The Probert Encyclopedia)

Ovate
An ovate was a type of druid. His purpose was to observe and invent. His robe was green symbolizing budding life.

Bard
A bard was an order of druid. The bard's office was to supervise, regulate and to lead. His robe was sky blue, symbolizing justice and truth.

Primitive druid
The primitive druid was an order of druid involved with teaching science and religion. His robe was white symbolizing light, purity and knowledge.



Doesn't really do much for me. :/ I'll use them as references, but I have warrior druids and messenger druids and -- well, I guess I took Irish/Celtic mythology and warped it until it's barely noticeable. Oops?

Even later...

My druid notes! Hooray for coming up with a system!

Druid types
-Warrior Druid
-Bardic Druid
-Primitive Druids
-Scholar Druids
-Companion Druids
-Druids of Annwn

NaNoWriYe Day 89

Long time no blog! School chewed me up, vomited me, and ate me up again. (Ew.)

Circle of Nimue is *still* deader than dead. I can't think of anything to write. WOE. WOE I say. For King and Phoenix is slightly better off, but mostly, my writing is...

Dead.

Defunct.

Stale.

Untouched.

Ugh. See if I can bang out some words somewhere, yes? As of yesterday, approx. 66K written out of 200K.
