You know what is the most surefire way to hit writer’s block? Combine the following things: NaBloPoMo and a son hovering over you waiting for you to finish so he can work on his DAMN BOOK. Having someone waiting on you to finish writing is bad enough on stopping the flow of the creative juices. Add that they are waiting because their creative juices are flowing so much they’re creating a book? And the inferiority sets in while the topic ideas take a leave of absence.
He’s writing a DAMN BOOK. Again. This is – like – number four or five for him. I suck. I can’t even decide what to write about tonight. And I have to write something because it’s NaBloPoMo.
BAH.
So, how was your day. Do anything fun? No? Me either.
The end.
(Please tell me I’m not the only one to already get swept away by writer’s block this month!)
It’s my birthday, but very lowkey. Church, lunch, nap, pumpkin cheesecake. NaBloPoMo is going ok for me, but I’m sure I’ll have some dry days coming soon.
I had the hardest time today. there was so much I wanted to say, and I just couldn’t get it to come out. so I threw something up and went back to sleep.
I feel your pain… NaBloPoMo is getting some rather dreary posts out of me the past few days as posting isn’t as much fun when you feel forced to do it.
Oh god, yes! I haven’t blogged for like 3 months and decided to do NaBloPoMo to get back into the swing of things. And now I’m remembering why I haven’t blogged recently – whilst I have stuff to write about, I somehow lack the ability to get it down the way I want it…
E’s cool quotient totally just went up like ten points
I didn’t even bother to try NaBloPoMo this year…and my blog is still “pink for october.” I am just that awesome.
For me, it’s SO HARD to remember on the weekends. We went out last night and all I could think of was “Crap! I didn’t blog. I hope something happens to give me fodder.” Sure enough, nothing happened, so I have the lamest one paragraph blog post ever.
If it makes you feel better, my Sunday sucked. I have a stomach bug and I had to go to a wake for a 39 year old friend. Pity party over, sorry.
I have hardcore writer’s block and only 5,000 words of my NaNoWriMo novel so yeah, I totally feel you.
Okay, my Sunday entry was way worse than that. You’re doing well.
I’m doing NaNoWriMo and NaBloPoMo so I am well and truly a little loopy!
My NaBloPoMo is going well but NaNoWriMo is squiffy really struggling to hit my word count
I didn’t even commit to NaBloPoMo this year. I knew I couldn’t see it through.
Well, this is my first year doing NaBloPoMo. I thought it would be difficult, and then the Universe keeps crapping on me. You know, to give me material. I’m sure it’s not to make me hate life.
I just love it that he’s writing a book, and it’s not his first one! What an awesome kid. I decided not to do NaBloPoMo. Maybe next year…
Yeah, uhm, I’m trying to do NaNoWriMo and I’m supposed to be at 25,000 words today. I’m at 2,000. Yeah. Talk about writer’s block.
