Words Under the Pillow

“And strange it is / That nature must compel us to lament / Our most persisted deeds.”
by William Shakespeare, Antony and Cleopatra

One thousand words better than last year

When you have a lot of things in your mind, crticial things at that, my mind can’t seem to focus. Especially when these things mean a new job, new responsibilities, deadlines and nagging people. Hence, is there any surprise that I was not able to finish my NaNo again this year or at least reach the fifty thousand word quota?

words: 11,382 / 50,000 (23%)

But it still beats last year where I only got around ten thousand that’s for sure. I’m still wondering though. Do I really have a story to tell? Can I even tell a story? Maybe I need to change genres or something?

I don’t know anymore.

And so it begins

The first rays of the sun touched the skyline of the city, and already so many people were going off to their destinations like pre-programmed machines doing the same thing every single day. The woman who stood on top of one of the skyscrapers knew well enough that these people really ...

Prepping for NaNo: Visual Prompts

Three days to go til NaNoWrimo, and I still have nothing. Supposedly even small plans would help to start off with your plot and get writing. But I only have a small premise, and no actual plot! In short: I don't have a plan. Yet. What I do have are images floating ...
