NaNo, Day 26

[adonnchaid]

I'm having a terrible time with the writing, and I think it's the season. Dark in the morning, dark by afternoon, all I want to do is hibernate till Spring. Maybe I should channel that feeling and write some "it's winter and they're stuck in a cave" fic...

I know others of us have mentioned having trouble writing this NaNo, any thoughts about what the cause is?

Too much to do? Absentee muse? lack of sleep?

Those are my excuses, though I'll be glad to share!

Lack of will-power/motivation. I know my problem, I just haven't really found a way to get past the problem. I'd hoped that NaNo would be a way for me to push myself to write, but that hasn't happened. I've got all these ideas swarming around in my brain, but no interest in putting them down in writing.

I think one of my problems with the lack of interest is that my mind keeps harping on one particular fanfic I read a few years back, and what my brain would like to see/read in a sequel. I'll start to think about works I have in progress, and the thoughts go back to that one particular sequel idea(s) to a fanfic that I didn't write. A fanfic of a fanfic.

I might try writing it, or at least starting it, and maybe then the idea will leave me alone and let me work on the stories I want to work on (grin).
