NaNoWriMo - Or November As I Like To Call It

[lupestripe]

If I was being honest, I have probably given up on writing. Part of the problem is that my job as a professional editor is far too similar to being a writer. Plus the thought of being sat in front of a computer after a day of doing the same at work doesn't really appeal. Put simply, I have lost my enthusiasm.

About 18 months ago I was a reasonably prolific writer but a couple of home truths have knocked me. While I have learned some good writing tips, I feel my non-yiff and politically charged tails wouldn't be particularly interesting to the majority. Furthermore I have no real inspiration these days and accept I am simply not good enough technically. And I don't have the time to practice with everything else I have going on in my life.

November is a very busy month for me so NaNoWriMo is out. I may pick up writing again in the future but I doubt it will be under the auspices of the Fandom. Never say never though, although I doubt I will start writing any time soon.

Success is a relative concept of course. I think some feedback would probably motivate me but that's very rarely forthcoming. The main problem is simply time though, I try to balance a job, a relationship, travelling, a social life and overtime and there aren't enough hours in the day. I would like to start writing again but I have to rediscover that enjoyment and at the moment, I am not sure how to proceed. Do you have a link to your podcast, it seems a good place to start.
