Hey all,
I guess it’s been a long time since I updated the blog and the reason for that is my mind just failing to wrap itself around life in general. Just a lot of things happening all in all which makes writing difficult. No it’s not writers block, and nothing health wise. Just choices I’ve been making in the last couple of months all catching up at the same time, and emotionally I’m frayed.
At the same time, yesterday I churned out 3000 words in about an hour as two different intros for an idea I have. Each of them an intro to a new story twirling about in my mind like a ballerina doing an endless series of pirouettes. So rather than trying to catch up to March blog posts and book reviews and the endless list of books I keep adding to my reading list, I’ll be going on a mini-hiatus.
So what will I be doing in the mean time?
Camp NaNo Prep
Camp NaNoWrimo is coming up next month. I’ve decided to write another novella (while my other one is still with my editor/publisher). The story is a horror romance temporarily named Upon an Endless Sea. That’s about all I have (I doubt I will use all previous drafts I’ve written haha) so I’ll be using the rest of March to put down some characters and a plot of some sort so I can pants my way through April.
Reading
I am so behind on my reading. Not that I haven’t been reading. On my bedside table (and following me around like a demonic shadow) is the book Happy Hour in Hell by Tad Williams. It’s about an angel who goes into hell to rescue his demon lover. Beautiful ain’t it? Not so much. It’s like Williams was playing DnD with his characters and every side of the die was an even worse situation than before. A true descent – pun intended. I also have to finish The Illustrated Man by Ray Bradubury and a bunch of other author requested book reviews.
Binge Watching (a.k.a Inspiration)
Yes, yes, yes. I will be watching all the series and movies and anime I haven’t seen yet. Me and Netflix/Crunchyroll gonna have a good time. On my list is:
- Altered Carbon
- Blade Runner 2049
- Insidious 2 + 3 (watched first already)
- Baywatch (Don’t even ask)
- Dexter
- The Machinist
- The Taxi Driver
- Jacob’s Ladder
- Requiem for a dream
- Zodiac
- A list-full of Anime
Talk about distractions inspiration. Anyway, here’s to a productive March of planning and onwards to an April of writing.
Thanks for dropping by and I’ll see ya’ll in April yeah!?
A-Scribe To Describe 
I feel your pain, brother. Too many things to do!
Yeah I saw you also went on a hiatus. Gotta do the things man.
We’ll be here for you in April.
Thank you 🙂
Good luck with it all! I’ve been spending March getting ahead in some things and behind in other things for Camp NaNo. I’m also going on vacation in April, so that’s going to screw with me as well. I hope you’re well rested for when it begins!
Thanks Rache. Yeah you also have a lot on your plate huh? Hope you enjoy your vacation and don’t spend it thinking about all the work you have to do. ahaha!
Oh, yeah. I always overbook myself, but I somehow manage to get it all done. Lol, I’ll try not to!
I hear you. I’ve found myself in an overwhelmed state – too much to do, not enough time. April will be great! 😊
It does get quite overwhelming after some time yeah. Well let’s see what April brings.
