Direction

I must confess, lately, I have no idea if I'm coming or going. Adulting is sucking up so much of my mental capabilities that I can't seem to carve out anything other than waking up day after day. I'm sure a few of you here can sympathize with that.

Tomorrow, Nano starts. Does it really matter? No, not really. I participate every year, but I already know that this year I will not be "winning" Nano. I'll be going through the motions. Sometimes, repetitive motions are all we have. And no, I don't mean that to be negative. It just is what it is. This year I will be using Nano simply to keep myself writing. I don't much care what it is, as long as it's something. I haven't been able to muster much lately to even be able to write. That's ok. Sometimes things happen things that just require you to go on autopilot until you're through the slop of it all.

I hope everyone gets what they need out of Nano this year. I do encourage people to try it at least once. It can be very helpful, and in some cases liberating. Happy Nano-eve everyone.
