My, oh my. How the days differ. The way that I have been feeling lately is quite odd. I have this residual urge to write and just continue writing regardless of quality. Then there is this urge to world build and expand on the idea in my nanowrimo novel.
This is getting pretty difficult as I want to make sure that I keep up the practice of writing everyday in this world but I don't want to mess things up. I suppose that I should have a takeaway from nanowrimo about this. Meaning that I should just write to get it done and then fix it later. When is that time to go back and edit or create the world? How much time would be best to put aside for world building and character development and plot arcs and and and...
I suppose by this point you should be able to recognize that I am the type of person that likes answers. Being a seeker of finality is a part of my character. It is who I am so not knowing why this race thinks this way (or should think this way) gnaws at me night and day. What gets to me is how little a time there is in the day to think and write for me.
So many ideas and so little time! The creation machine is a beast and to tame it I need time and effort. I have the effort but the time seems to escape me more and more with every passing day. This is not meant to be a bitching session or a time for venting even. What I want to say is that I understand that these are my issues, and I have to find a way to get past them one by one.
Now on to the
Write Daily for yesterday. Ironic that I talk about difficulty writing daily and I am a part of Write Daily on Reddit. I know. Sad. Ouch and stuff. This theme is foreign dialect for this week. I have been trying to create a range of situations where the writer can expand their abilities with this in mind. I hope it works.
Today our prompt is Master/Slave. This means that you will need to have one of the characters have a foreign dialect while being subservient or a ruler. You can make the story about anything or anyone but make sure these key components are there.
I know that NaNoWriMo is coming to an end as of tomorrow so I hope that we have more submissions soon enough. Everyone else that has submitted lately has done a great job of participating and writing daily. This is just a means for you to wake up and get your mind rolling forward with ideas for your stories. So, please take these prompts and roll with them to make them your own or incorporate them with existing ideas that you may have.
Also, please feel free to link us to your blog or another site holding your work. You do not have to type or copy/paste directly into reddit. It is up to whatever you would like to do. I hope everyone enjoys their last day of November and continues writing after our nano novels.
Keep on writing.
Today's
Write Daily is all about the empathy. Hopefully, next week the theme will be more embraced and enjoyed. I tried experimenting with this week's theme and prompt combination and it feels like it is flopping. That is fine as you can only learn from failures (of this type).
Empathy is your prompt for the day. Create a scene where empathy is emphasized by a character toward an object or person. You could also make a scene of dialogue where the two characters have empathy toward something else entirely or one another. Anything goes so be creative. Enjoy yourself and show your true colors here.
Have fun with it and just write it down!
That is all for today. Adios.
