Saturday, November 05, 2005 The Pitch: It's like I Am Meets I Am Not! It's a few minutes after noon on Saturday. Sorry I haven't blogged since my strong initial recovery--I've been trying to keep a handle on Nano, plus the email list, plus work and a lot of extra socializing this last week. I should be writing but I'm not (except in this here post, which is where my creative title comes from).There are patterns to my Nano experience that I'm noticing over the years I've done it. On day three, I'll switch tenses. On day four, I'll fall behind but it won't be noticeable because I've built up a bit of a lead. On day five or day six, I'll catch up. Around day twelve, I'll fall behind. That's the part I'm really worried about because last year, I fell so far behind I gave up until the last five days. So, on the one hand, I'm incredibly driven to write as much as I can today, catch up and get ahead, and head off the inevitable upcoming conflicts from writing this month's newsletter, working a bunch of make-up time, dealing with holidays, etc., etc., that seems pretty inevitable. People bitch about Nano being during an inconvenient time of the year but I always liked the idea that if you could write this much during this month, you could write any time in almost any condition. On the other hand, I'm not writing. I'm waiting. I'll be at lunch in forty minutes and I figure I'll be writing then. But, you know, what if I'm not? Unfortunately, this sort of thing goes on in my brain all the time. posted by Jeff Lester | 2:21 PM | |
