Momentum of the Muse

Two things:

1. I am going to be posting in a series over the next week. It’s tentatively poised to be a five part series – so far – about creative writing exercises to help when you’re “stuck”. I’ve had the blahs in blogging lately and I figure it will shake me up, make me more regular in posting. Put some fiber in my posting consistency – (Ew) – and maybe help out a fellow NaNoWriMo participant. Which brings me to my next point.
2. I am going to humiliate myself and post my NaNoWriMo progress. It’s my first time participating and my first time writing a novel. At first, I was all “Wow, this could magically be the best novel of all time! Like that one time I wrote my anthropology paper worth 25% 3 hours before it was due. Then I ended up getting a hundred percent even though I had made the entire thing rhyme as a joke, because I had already succumbed to the realization that I was going to fail. And the next day I changed my major to Anthropology because the teachers are all whacked-out hippies and I love it. Except then my prof drew the line when I brewed a tea full of hallucinogenic drugs that are generally used for shaman to get high out of their skulls and fight demons and invited class members to participate.” But now, I’m all “Wow. This is the worst novel in human existence.”

So, yes. I figure if I post my progress up here, I’ll be more accountable.

Any other NaNo veterans or virgins?
