My thoughts today

            Grrr! Grumble, grumble, grumble! NaNoWriMo started off pretty well. There was even a day I wrote 2,600 words. I the past five days I have written a total of 1,812. It isn’t writer’s block—I’m actually at a pretty exciting part. I have been thinking about this scene for over a year. I’m not afraid I’ll get it wrong or that it’s too big.
            I don’t feel like a writer. And the oddest part of that: the only thing I do need to do to feel like a writer is to write! Writers write. No amount of coffee, tea, or pinning writing inspiration else will make me feel like writer than just writing would.
            Instead of writing, I want to have an adventure! My life seems so small right now. I want to do something for the first time (there’s plenty I haven’t done). I want to get my hands dirty. I want to be awed. But I can’t think for the life of me what I want to do for the first time (Well, I can. But they aren’t things I can do right now with where I am in life…). I need a good jump—a risk to take that for better or worse will give me inspiration. Close my eyes. Spread my arms. Fall.
