Writing Month

 Most years, but not every, when it gets to this time of year I end up thinking about writing and occasionally even do try and start it up again. Like most of my attempts to create a habit around writing this never lasts. But while I've learned over the years I really do not have it in me to write a novel, at least not with my current mindset, I do keep coming back to wanting to write fiction or at least have some sort of creative outlet. Apparently it's good for you or something.

Anyway, NaNoWriMo is wrapped up in yet another controversy, but a friend linked to the fairly bare bones Writing Month website where you can define your own project of a novel, short stories, whatever in terms of words, pages, stories etc per day. So I've set myself the goal of one blog post a day for the month of November, which feels achievable as the post doesn't have to be a set number of words. I may cheat slightly and try and finish a couple of started stories, and some days I may just manage a sentence of two about how my day went. But if I manage to write something, even a few lines, every day, it might help me get back into the habit.
