Are you stuck??

Hello! A short update on my nanowrimo challenge. It's my 4th day and yesterday I felt a bit stuck and not really into the mood to write so I wrote something a bit off track. I am sure that I will do a lot of cut and paste after this month but that should not be my worry at the moment. Editing is for December or whenever you feel ready to do so.
Today I was a bit more productive but I still need a few more words and then I'm done for today. I had this wonderful thought.

Remember when you were at school and had to take an exam. There was this tricky question and you just didn't know how to answer it but but then you thought if I do write something as an answer anything at all it will still count.

The teacher can then decide if he gives you a point or not or just half the point BECAUSE you have written somthing. See the same goes for NaNoWriMo. If you do write something you can later decide if this can be used for sth. your story at the end of this month or not but if you haven't written anything at all then you can't do it. Does that make sense? So each time you feel blocked just tell yourself "I'm going to write something anything, even if this currently does not have anything to do with my story. I can delete it later after this month. If I have something written then I can also choose if I'm going to keep some of the paragraphs or not." :))

Well, I hope that makes somehow sense. I'm quite into it and feel already a bit scatter-brained but it's fun. :)) so keep writing!

Have a great day

Even if you aren't ready you can start for fun

Don't worry that's okay, it's somehow easier to see here on the wall what's going on, so don't worry :)))

I had a crazy night, last night. I'm at 21,002 today. I wrote both on my novel a bit some 1000 words (I can't believe I was able to write this much on the novel when I thought I was blocked. I just changed moved on to the other scene) :) and then a bit of writing prompts, it worked out well.

Now i'm supposed to be writing some applications so I won't be doing much before i get this done. Last week I had problems with my computer but all is ok now. I also feel sorry that i'm not watching much of the videos on ccor it's a shame.. will do it soon!! :)

oh yes at 3 AM I wrote a poem kind of weird?! I just couldn't fall asleep and then had to write it down then I was able to sleep lol :) and I thought that creativity usualyl happens during the day and not that late *cough* early ;)

Somehow I don't seem to be getting the updates to the discussion forum, just the wall chat.

10 Good Reasons I Shouldn’t Write My Life Story

1.First of all, once I get published people would start digging in my past and would not rest until they find something negative about me or something embarrassing so they can gossip about or put in the headlines about my private life. Am I ready for this, to be that exposed?
2.People would start stalking me to find out more about me, not that my book cannot provide them with enough information but they would want to see me when I am not this “author”. People would recognize me in the streets and say “Hey this is the girl who wrote that book, you know?”
3.I would not have a private life anymore and would have to keep track of what I said and where and pay attention to what I am going to say.
4.My family would say that my story is not true; they would tell their “right” version of the story and say that everything else is a lie. Unless I make the changes they would not let me in peace.
5.Once I publish it I cannot change my mind and have something removed. I could do that but that would cost me a lot and some previous published versions would already circulate around.
6.Come on, who is writing their life story with 24? I am too young to do that and people would give me weird looks and think I am suicidal or what else could be the reason this young lady is writing her life story. It is not really the norm for a 24 year old late teen to write his or her life story. People should do that when they are mature and have enough of life experience but not at such a young age.
7.The book would be something like from 0 to 24 and I would be working on the second sequence as I live the years. See this is why it is usually not “normal” to be writing such a book at that young age.
8.Some people would be embarrassed that I wrote about them and would keep secrets away from me. They would share less with me as usually because they know I wrote my life story and that I am working on a second of many volumes. They would be careful about what they are telling me. Other would be just positively surprised that I mentioned them in my book because they played a vital role in my life. Those both groups would nevertheless start sharing less information with me due to this.
9.I will have to spend a whole lot of time on research to make sure I write the right things and give the right information about some things, such as history facts etc. It would take me ages to finish this and have the proof for everything I say that is related to the history. Do I really have the time for this?
10.I would not know how to end it, right. Oh yeah I could write “sequence follows” how original. At least that would give me a few years time till I write my second part. Wow!

I love this writing prompt ;)

I see we all are somehow posting here in the wall rather than going to the discussion topics and writing there. *lol* I don't mind that, it's okay, you can all do whatever you want as long as it makes you happy, it makes me happy too ;)

Michelle Zack Comment by Michelle Zack 12 hours ago
I did a bunch of prompts and I'm up to 2,346 for today. That's 12,020 total. I'm starting to get stuck on the prompts so I'm back to writing for my site.

The other day I wrote a bunch of headlines of an article marketing campaign for backlinks to my freezer container page so now I'm going to go write some articles to match the headlines until my husband gets home in about an hour and we make dinner.
