HisDumbBunny Posted November 1, 2017 Report Posted November 1, 2017 Is anyone participating in National Novel Writing Month? (50k words in 30days specifically November for anyone who doesn't know) I've been doing it for years, but this year I don't have any inspiration or motivation... it's really sad... I love to write, but I'm not sure what to do... (Ps. if anyone wants to get into it, it's NaNoWriMo.org )
Littlest_Bee Posted November 1, 2017 Report Posted November 1, 2017 I've been meaning to get into it for years but something has always happened to keep me back. I definitely want to try this year though. But I know it's going to be hard. If you feel burned out maybe you should take a break - do things you always wanted to try instead, maybe the inspiration and motivation is back next month and you'll be able to write a better story then. Best wishes ❤ 1
Guest Juju Posted November 1, 2017 Report Posted November 1, 2017 I think I'm gonna give it a try this year! Lack of motivation or inspiration can really bum you out when you're trying to work x Are you struggling more with getting the words onto paper or coming up with an idea in the first place? One of my tricks to get my imagination going again and to practise my skills is to take one of my dreams or just day to day event (no mater how mundane) and develop it into a story or an excerpt. It helps me to practise and I've already got the base of what has happened figured out xx Even if you don't get around to doing the challenge this month any writing is worth doing! xx Good Luck! 3

Best wishes ❤ You should do it!!! We can all do it together! If we motivate each other, maybe we can all stay on track? 1

I've been having issues with coming up with ideas... I think I have a half-baked idea now, but I don't know if it'll carry all month. Do it do it! I believe in you! 1
