Life as of late. It's novel writing month!!

But I'm not going to write a novel.. just trying to write daily. Off to a bad start! I was going to put this post on WordPress, but it's not loading.. I guess it can go here. All my november stuff is going to go here because I think it could answer some questions about who I am as a 20-something about to be 30 in a couple years. Even if it's not quite the idea I had as I created this new "blog" idea... Anyway!!

National  Writing month

I admit, I am already a few days behind on the fact that it is writing month. But since I have some time right now I am just going to free write for a while.

Things have been pretty busy for me the last few months, mostly the month of October, to be totally honest. I have been trying to get into a good workout routine in the month of September which worked out for a while and I think I was getting some good results. Then in the month of October I helped build a haunted maze out of pallets with some pals who love Halloween, because I’m just that good of a person or something. I must admit, I hadn’t planned on helping at all but it felt good to be doing something worth my time and always feels great to help folks achieve some goals. I even acted like a weirdo in the very first room of the maze. I’m not too into acting but I had given it a good run. Halloween season was definitely busy busy busy and quite tiring to say the least. I officially quit drinking for a while!

And now we are into November, and it is that novel writing month. I am not going to write a novel but I will try and write something on a daily basis. I think the goal for a month is 15,000 words which divides down to 500 words per day. Since I am supposed to be on day three today, I guess I should maybe write 1500 words to makeup for the missed days? (I might have made up those numbers, to be honest, but it seems like a decent goal for someone who never writes who is going from zero writing per day to trying to write at least a little of something every single day?)

We find out who the next president of the united states will be here pretty soon! I am so dang nervous about this. We have Hillary Clinton vs Donald Trump, essentially. And so many people seem really serious about voting in a sexist, racist, classist prick.. I really cannot deal with it! I already voted so all I can do now is wait and see what happens on the election date next week. The last couple years have been insane. I’m just so glad and anxious about the ending of this crazy period of time. I feel like we are being pranked, to be honest!! But that’s really all I am going to be getting into on this. Nobody cares about my political opinions. Or facts. Or what is good for the country. Or anything, it seems. *shrug*

I feel like so much more has been going on in my life, and perhaps there has been a lot more going on that I just kind of jumble all the things together into this very vague entry about the months as of late?! And maybe over the next month of writing I will reveal more about some specifics but right now I cannot come up with much. I may grab a random writing prompt off the internet and write a second post today. Keep real life separated from the writing prompts, but keep writing in order to meet the daily word counts I had mentioned previously?! I do need to think about going to bed soon but I have fallen victim to the post workday nap, and not totally all that tired at the moment.
