Clearly, I’m out - Day 28 - I think
Aaack.
I don’t know what happened there. I just had nothing. Nothing. Squeeze me and I’m dry like a sponge that someone left out on the deck all summer long. NoMoNaMos. I haven’t written a word of the novel. Not one. And really, those last half dozen posts were such crap. I mean, who am I kidding?
I stopped referring to my list of post ideas when my family arrived. I didn’t want to be in the basement hunched over the keyboard when I could be with my people.
My domain renewal is due…toying with the idea of letting it go. But letting go is not my strong suit.
"All through the long winter, I dream of my garden. On the first day of spring, I dig my fingers deep into the soft earth. I can feel its energy, and my spirits soar."

Well, I would miss it if you gave it up but understand the time demands can be daunting. Gently, gently. Novels come when we’re ready and have the space for them. And when we don’t we can always write shorter things!

Honestly, I don’t know how people blogged through Thanksgiving weekend.
So you had a stretch where you had nothing to say…I’m sure the writing bug will bite you again, and it would be nice to have your domain handy.

Yep, it’ll be fine. I just hate to not meet my goals. But I so often set myself up with way more to do than is humanly possible and there’s nothing to do but fail. It’s a disease.

Glad you decided to keep your domain.
The whole NaNo thing was a bust for me as well. Bascially, I rebel when I feel I have to do things.
