Dropping out

November 7th, 2005 in Uncategorized | leave a response

I have officially decided to drop out of National Novel Writing Month for this year.

I just don’t have a clear enough vision of what I’m doing, I’m not enthusiastic enough about it and there are other things I probably need to work on this month instead. I proved last year that I’m capable of doing this, but this year I just never got a good foothold.

Thanks to all of those who sent words of encouragement or support.

Story, to see his treatment of dialogue. It's screenwriting, but as I mentioned in the email, the way he pulled apart the scene from Chinatown was some of the most exciting writing I've ever encountered.

February's another month too. A good one for a contest to create the most horrible "History of St. Valentine's Day" story. I have an old one - from a time when singleness had me about ready to drive into a bridge embutment - I'd enter.

March is good too. And April. And before you know it, you'll be able to do November again.
