It's just fun stuff, but even that's better than doing nothing.Leeannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16284091494053528217noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4683638078189398634.post-62617965778954256452012-06-27T20:58:54.635-04:002012-06-27T20:58:54.635-04:00I know what you mean.

Even if you just take it one day at a time, writing a paragraph here and there. Once you sit down to write, it may just all start to flow out and you've got half a chapter written. Don't give up! :)Jessica L.

I have no clue why :| Probably because I procrastinate, and can't always stick to self-imposed deadlines. I definitely feel like I'm crazy, too.Leeannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16284091494053528217noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4683638078189398634.post-60596446432592614262012-06-26T11:32:20.748-04:002012-06-26T11:32:20.748-04:00It makes perfect sense... because the crazy part o...It makes perfect sense... because the crazy part of me likes thinking I'm normal and the normal part of me likes to think I'm crazy! I think you're right though, we live in an imaginary world when we write that when we have to connect with reality we kind of lose ourselves in the moment during the transfer. Lol. :PJessica L.

We spend so much time living inside our own heads, I think it would be impossible NOT to be crazy. For awhile now I've thought our brains are just wired differently...something about the creativity gene or something that's closely linked to insanity lol. So don't worry, you may be crazy, but you're also completely normal...if that makes sense! ;-)SweetMarie83https://www.blogger.com/profile/12518239232924662332noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4683638078189398634.post-75268928756979978742012-06-24T22:43:36.125-04:002012-06-24T22:43:36.125-04:00It feels good knowing you're not alone, doesn&...It feels good knowing you're not alone, doesn't it? ;)<br /><br />I did pretty good during NaNo with #6 because I wanted the word count to keep going. Now I've gotten too leisurely with my writing at times. #9 is a constant for me, while driving, while working, while doing anything away from a computer, lol. And #11, I'll never stop doing. It's just too much fun to daydream about it!Jessica L.

Numbers 6,9 and 11 are the ones that hit home the most with me. <br /><br />Number 6 I actually got so much better at after NaNoWriMo. No I spent much less time agonising about it, although it still bugs me. <br /><br />Number 9 literally drives me nuts because for some unknown reason I always get my best ideas in the car/on the train or bus. I don't know what it is about transport but it always gives me inspiration. So my phone is chock full of reminders and inspiration!!<br /><br />Number 11 I still haven't overcome. Even as I write this comment, I am also looking up cover designers and dreaming about the day I will be writing my book in the tropics because I won't need to be doing anything else!<br /><br />At least now I know I'm not alone in the craziness.Lanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00002224549199474383noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4683638078189398634.post-50550545208554785182012-06-22T21:20:35.162-04:002012-06-22T21:20:35.162-04:00I write poems out of anger/frustration/irritation....I write poems out of anger/frustration/irritation. I was just going through mine last night and chuckling to myself over how many of them seem either depressing or mad at the world, lol.<br /><br />Hahaha!

I don't think you're alone. We're...LOL! I don't think you're alone. We're all a little crazy. I find that I write better when I'm pissed at someone. So I go around picking fights and then racing to the computer when I'm all worked up. <br /><br />Love the self photo!

You make me smile. :) I'm so glad to have a writing friend like you to keep me remotely sane, or is it because we're insane together that we think we're sane? Hehehe!<br /><br />I think I use the backspace key a lot too... then I realize I needed that line and have to undo my backspacing, LOL.Jessica L.
