At the Moment

I'm currently deciding on what to write for my November Nano. Obviously that's a few months off, but I kind of want to have a good idea so I can pump myself up to write it. I sort of want to do my failed nano from last year, When It Rains, because I've been looking at my notes/plan & reread what I wrote, and I'm really into the idea.

idk about the cover though


What I'm scared of is losing steam? Like I'm going to try and do it again and do as much as I can in the beginning so that when I get to Act II, I'll have a good portion of my word count. The first act and the third act will be the longest, probbaly around 20-ish K each? And then Act II will be fairly short like around 10-15k.

At first, I thought this book would be super long, but now I'm thinking it'll be around 60-70k which is decent sized for a romance novel.

So that's kind of where I'm at.

but at the same time, I kind of want to write one of my paranormal stories (there are several) or the story idea I had recently, and then there's Pathos, and Circuited (though I want to take my time with this one. I don't know if Nano is the best idea for it).

SO. MANY. DECISIONS.

Right now, I want to go with WIR. I feel like I need to write more of it though (pre-Nano) so that I can get into it more so that when November rolls around I don't spend time getting frustrated.

And then there's the matter of I'm doing full time college classes/applying for college at this time/marching band will be coming to a close around this time/the 1000 things I'm sure I will have to do.

I failed Nano last year, which was lame, but I just didn't have the time. And so I don't want my grades to tank in favor of doing Nano. So whether or not I'll do it is still a big ???

I always feel like I have so much to do and then I never do it. I hate that about myself. I mean the ACT is in three days, and I still can't make myself study. I literally suck.

  1. I fail nano every year except when I do camp nano (I only do a couple thousand words though so not actually sure if it counts).
