Nanowrimo nothing

I have a confession, although it is certainly not wrenched from my breast with great unwillingness.  I have made no - ZERO - Nanowrimo progress in the last 5 days or so, I believe.  Nothing.  Sitting in front of a computer all day, through lunch, and then running home to sit in front of a computer and wrack my brains for creativity has burned me out. 

I still want to write.  I still have ideas I want to get down on paper.  But staring at a screen all day and then into the night is actually becoming painful. 

So, peeps, I may not win at Nanowrimo this year.  We shall see if I get back on the horse to limp towards that finish line.

Maybe you need to handwrite it and get away from the computer screen for a bit! Picture a cozy nook, lots of blankets, tea and a notebook. May be just the thing to move you sideways towards your goal! xo

Have you considered using a voice recognition app to dictate your novel? Also, for a crazy change of pace, have you considered using a pen on paper? What about painting or sketching a scene? Or taking a series of photographs? Or a little video? I'm just trying to brainstorm ideas to keep you going because I am so proud of you and so jealous and so recognizing my own complete inability to write fiction. Love, Essie
