NaNoWriMo...

 I've given up on NaNoWriMo. I wrote a little bit over 3,000 words, which may seem miniscule to all of you, but it's the most I've ever, ever written in my whole life for one project. That in itself is a major win. A few nights ago, I was just lying in bed at night, wondering why exactly I was writing. I don't want to be a writer in future. It wasn't fun, to be honest. Thinking of stuff to write about, to move the plot along, was difficult.

I don't think I will be participating next year. I'd much rather read instead. Sorry if I let anyone down, but there's just so many review copies I need to get through, as well as books that are piling on to my TBR. I have almost 50 books, I'm sure. It's pretty insane how many books are still coming to my door. Not that I'm complaining.


So yeah, I'm giving up on NaNo. There's just too much else I want to do (other than reading, I want to actually GO OUT with my friends and walk my dog and go shopping, etc), and not enough reason for me to continue writing. I've already got 6-7 pages on Word, and that's enough for me. Maybe one day I'll re-visit the story of Nat and Amanda and Mike. :P


GIVEAWAYS

Elevensies Love ♥ (international) | Stork & Girl Parts ARCs (AU only)

Both are ending on the 20th of November. :)



Note:
For those still waiting for me to send something by, let me explain. The weather has been bad, so I've been feeling all iffy about heading out to go to the post office. Also, my mum has just gone back to work, so now I can go out whenever I want, realistically. I will get them out sometime this week.

Hahaha. Yeah.

At least now I can finally move ahead with my reading! :D
Aww, I'm sorry you're done with Nanowrimo, but I'm glad you stopped when you realized you weren't enjoying it. Why do something that just isn't fun? Have fun reading instead =)
Ah well! At least you gave NaNoWriMo a shot, right? I tried last year and didn't write anything...all I have to show for it is a flimsy character chart (which I still carry around in my notebook but...eh...) Have fun reading though! :)
there's no point in doing it if you're not enjoying it :)

mine is going pretty lame. i can't really force the enthusiasm.

i dont think i'll make the 50k, but it really doesn't worry me.

love ya!
Atleast you tried! 3000 words is still a lot.If you enjoy reading more, then there's no point in it anyways.
You tried. That counts for something :)
