swestrupEver since the beginning of August I've had ideas for short stories bursting into my head unannounced. I haven't been able to motivate myself to write any of these stories. Mainly, I'm just not in the right head space for it right now.
Maybe I should write down a few sentences of each idea, so I don't completely forget them. On the other hand, I did that once and when I came back to the fragments I had written years before, whatever spark they had once had was long gone, and I had no interest in the stories.
It makes me wonder if I'll be participating in NaNoWriMo this year. I certainly WANT to. I enjoy the writing and my productivity in November ends up being over double what it is in all other months combined. What I don't need to do is set myself up for failure by agreeing to take on a challenge that I know I have no chance of completing...
