In three days starts a new NaNoWriMo, my second. My first thought is: I only posted 8 entries here since the last one. Lazy bastard!!!!
My second thought, however, is: Will I get to finish my novel this time? My guess is: No.
Unlike last year I'm burdened with several papers due on November, exams, deadlines at work and a dreadful tiredness, probably caused by the former. And writting 1500+ words a day may be easy for you, even maybe for last-year-me, but not for present-day-me. Even if I had the time (no more than 2 hours a day in my experience), which I use for a much needed nap after work and before class nowadays, I would still need to find the inspiration and motivation to do so. "Dude, go see a doctor", some might say. I know what I need to do. I'm just not doing it. (Spoiler: get more sleep, loose weight, drink less coffee)
The other problem is what the hell could I write about? Would it be motivating to finish last year's effort? Hmm. No. Moving along... How about the story of a young man who's given a ring, and must travel to mount Wolfenstein to destroy it? ... That sounds good!
