NaNoWriMo

You know how I thought I was going to post more but didn't? Yeah... haven't done that before, now have I.

Here's the super super abridged version of a long story: I've been home since the beginning of July. I had a really rough go at school last year and needed some time to rest and recover. Since then I've been feeling a lot better. Unfortunately, things that have not happened much include, but are not limited to: poetry, prose, and basically anything creative.

Until now. Inspired by a few friends who did it last year, I'm doing National Novel Writing Month, or NaNoWriMo for short (don't ask me how to pronounce that third syllabe; the linguistic marvel that is this acronym goes beyond my phonetic understanding). I'm a little behind because I started about four days late, but I've gotten so into it that I'll be back on track in a matter of days. I'm SUPER EXCITED, YO.

Anyways, here's a link to my profile.

Feel free to follow me if you're planning on doing it. I'm also probably going to post chapters/ excerpts up here, so look for frequent updates! I SWEAR I'll get to writing poetry again. I half-wrote a poem like a month and a half ago and it's been just sitting on a notepad being like WTF U DOING BRO. It's very stressful.

Bottom line, it feels great to be writing again. I'm so proud of myself for undertaking this project. And for those who have supported me throughout the years, thank you. Behind every writer is a support, be it a person or a handle of scotch. In my case it's people, thank God. Scotch isn't all that fun to talk to.
