Once again, I've had a dream that has inspired another new project. I love them, but I'm so frustrated at the same time because I need to write some of these projects and I can't keep up!

I finished NaNoWriMo this year. I did it last night, actually. I still have a lot of writing to do, though. My heart is wanting, but my brain is quite sleepy. That's what coffee is for, right?

Feeling pretty blah with the world today. I'm sure it's just cold weather funk mixed with being overwhelmed, but I needed to vent somewhere about it. You all got to be the lucky ones. Sorry. 😬

I'm helping my child dive deep into the #nanowrimo community. GWAHAHAHAHA!

Okay, I did all the things! GO ME!

This seemed to work. I might have to share things more often.

Sorry in advance...

Okay, I seriously need to figure out how to do this accountability thing better. I keep saying I'm going to be annoying with my posts here to put things into the universe, and then I fall off the face of the earth for a while instead.

I need to do better.

Here are my goals for the day:

1) Clean up my desk.
2) Update my bullet journals.
3) Do not take a long nap.
4) Work on some NaNo Prep.

Posted on my blog about needing accountability. I'm happy for ideas!

@JakeA Added back!

@JoyfullyDazed Never hurts to try and see what happens. :) I like the push to write every day if nothing else. Helps me get back in practice.

I've got my NaNoWriMo project decided! Come add me if you want!

The day job starts next week. I really need to learn how to write while working it.

The day job is starting up again in about two weeks, and I'm really worried it's going to cut me off creatively...again. I know a lot of it is that I need to get my priorities fixed. But still...idk, just need to vent my frustrations.

Today is a day for thinking and planning. I've got some series to name, so I might put up a poll or five. I also need to learn how to outline better.

Live footage of me trying to write:

Small victory: The groceries came and have been put away!

One thing to cross off my agenda list.

Time to set myself up for some accountability today. I find I do best with my goals when I have a reason to stay awake (checking in somewhere), and can celebrate my victories for the day.

So you all get to be my test subjects! Sorry!

The Agenda:

- Stay awake until 2pm
- Make word count
- Babysit some puppies
- Put the groceries away

Those top two are going to be the hardest.

This month, I have doubled my word count for the entire year. It's been a long time since I've written a draft of a book in a month. A long, long, time. #amwriting

I think I'm starting to like writing again... I think... It's been a while.

Okay. I am going to stay awake. I am. I am. I have too much to do to nap.

I'm making an attempt at staying accountable today. If you want to pop in and say hi: http://twitch.tv/jillysriser

I don't know how long I'll be streaming for.
