Just because I don't have nearly enough stress in my life, I'm considering assigning Tristan to be my National Novel Writing Month project for 2010. Think I can get all of Knight of Sorrows written by December 1? No, I don't either. But we'll see how far I get.

I guess this is me sort of kind of throwing down the gauntlet and challenging myself. I wonder if the imaginary people in my head will cooperate.

Full disclosure: I've often tried to do the NaNoWriMo thing, but I've never succeeded. In theory, if you write a chapter a day, you can finish a novel in one month (no promises for quality). I've just never been able to do it.

We'll see. Maybe this is the year.

Ugh.

I just got the final versions of the ebooks for Nightchild, Sacrifice, Collected Poems and Collected Stories. I made the mistake of reading some of the poetry and scanning the stories.

Ugh. I hate them.

This is why I try not to re-read my work, and if I do, to never do it when I have matches nearby.

Things in my day-to-day life have been challenging of late, and naturally, that means that I have begun to give my writing a vote of no confidence.

Something tells me that this is a good time to step away from the computer and just go play in traffic for a while.
