Well, it was a week ago that I won NaNoWriMo, with 50,101 words. The problem is, the book isn't finished. I've got about five chapters to go before it's done.
That's the first problem, I suppose. The second one is that there are a plethora of ready excuses that I can pretend are keeping me from writing. For example, this being the holiday season, there's so much family coming through, it's difficult for me to turn around in a circle, let alone sit down at a computer and write. (Never mind the fact that I'm writing this blog post. Pay no attention.)
Also, while it's not necessarily eating into my evenings all that much, work has been insane over the last few weeks.
And I've started reviewing video games over at Tech Talk for Families. Which is pretty cool.
The fact of the matter is that the challenge of NaNoWriMo provided me with some much needed motivation. I suppose the thing to do at this point, is do something to regain it, and then push forward. I need about a week of writing to get it done.
As always, the book is sitting on Google Docs - here.
