Has it only been a week? I swear, sometimes it feels like it’s been a month and other times it only feels a couple days.
This November has been a bit of a time filled… time… No, I don’t like that, no, no, no. Let me just say it’s been busy. Most of the 8th and 9th were spent getting to and from places so my writing totals took a hit. The 10th was an incredibly busy day but I did finally get to go to Meow Wolf in Santa Fe. It was pretty amazing. By the way, if anyone happens to go there make sure to check the mailbox at the very beginning.
The 11th was an eventful day as I got to see my wife be awarded for being awesome, but then it was followed by a snow storm and us being stuck in New Mexico. Oh those crazy winds and those narrow mountain passes. We did get back home on the 12th and then everything was back to a relative form of normality.
But yeah, my writing times and totals took a bit of a hit.
On the plus, I got more on this one done this one week than I did when I attempted this last year in the whole month. So yay! I haven’t quite doubled my overall output for last November and this April, but it’s within spitting distance.
So what have I learned? As always, writing seems more exciting as an idea than as an activity, but the stories still want out! Typing in a car with heavy wind and icy roads is about as much fun as it sounds. It can get cold and lonely in the “chamber of words” as the day turns into night.
And the last lesson for now is, “I love it when my characters talk to me!”
