Mistaken Identity « Feeding The Need To Write

Mistaken Identity

12Oct09

I haven’t written in a long time that I think I might be rusty. I just can’t seem to commit. I wanted to finish some writing things before the beginning of November. But I haven’t even looked at that stuff. I’m on fall break this week so maybe something will happen. I’ve been thinking about Mistaken Identity for my NaNo novel, and there might be a bit of a problem. I just think it will be the best choice to for a full length novel. The more I think about the story the more I worry that there’s just not enough conflict to carry it. And if I try to force it, it’ll become another DYTCiYC. And I’ll give up on it halfway through.

But if I change stories I’ll have to redo all the planning that I’ve done so far. The character interviews, the setting researching, the brainstorming, all that would have to be done again. Granted I still plan on writing Mistaken Identity at another time.So it’s not in vain, but the time wasted is huge. I still have three weeks before November gets here, but I’ve got some projects due in that time.

I guess I need to do some more thinking about it. Work on the plot some. There are other things I can do before November. Like work on my writing play list. I use to just have a series of movies I would watch while writing, or if there was a marathon of a favorite tv show I would watch that. Anything that I’ve seen before so I would be less inclined to get sucked in. I’m going to go for half and half. Also need to figure out where I’m going to do my writing. I don’t have a desk at the moment. I know where I’m going to put it once I have it but I probably wont be getting one until January, maybe I’ll as for one for christmas. I could write at my kitchen table but the chairs aren’t that comfortable. Mainly cause they are folding chairs (pink and black and really cute). Right now I do everything in my bed, its large and comfortable but maybe a bit to comfortable. I haven’t really done much other than write posts and surf the net. It’s not as great for my back. I need to get one of those lap tables or something.

I need to figure out my snacks and my reward. It would have to be cheap and something I really want. Hmm maybe a desk XD! Well I’m gonna go get some Halloween decorations, laters!
