I have no title for such a late update
If I have to apologize each time I don’t write in one of my blogs for three months, this is going to become tiresome, because I don’t see things change in the upcoming couple of years. So no apologies. Just know that I always come back to the Y Logs sooner or later, m’kay? 🙂
Somehow, it seemed like a good idea to do a short update now, because we’re slowly nearing November and, this year again, I have finally given in and signed up for NaNoWriMo.
I’m not going to ‘win’–I don’t think so, since I have so much school assignments and personal work to complete. I’m not going to work on a completely new idea. In fact, I’m going to start from scratch again with my one-shot project. I have no intention of letting it rot after NaNo, or of taking that as a pathetic excuse to not edit it thoroughly afterward. However, the fact is that currently, I’m not writing a lot in terms of creative works (assignment and crapping out technical manuals don’t count in that regard). I haven’t been writing much at all since I’ve moved to my new location, in fact, save for a short story aimed at a call for submission (and a second one that I didn’t send: silly me misplaced the date for the deadline). Therefore, I’m placing new hopes, so to say, in the whole NaNo hype to pump me up for a time at least, and allow me to resume a more regular rhythm of writing.
I must add that my imagination pool has not dried, nor am I growing disillusioned or uninterested in writing as a whole. It’s just that when I finally have time to write, I’m usually quite tired, or feeling guilty because I’m not using that time to do more school work or go exercise or whatnot–and then I don’t write. It sucks, and I know I have to choose my priorities, but seriously I can’t make everything a priority at this point in my life. There just aren’t enough hours in a day for that! Unfortunately, what gave was writing. In three months, though, it may be something else. Who knows.
Anyway, I’m not going to post daily NaNoWriMo updates here–I wouldn’t have the time. But I wanted to bring back some life here all the same (expect a new playlist soon, too). And I hope that with NaNo incoming, I will have a couple of things about ‘writing’ in general to say. That would be a nice change, wouldn’t it…

It’s always good to hear from you, even if it’s only once every three months. Good luck with Nano. I’m out this year.I moved my blog back to:http://fredcharles.wordpress.com

Thank you. I wish it wasn’t only every three months. If only I had more time, or at least more energy every day, to really think of posts more interesting than those ‘updates’. Sometimes, I wonder if the prospect of having to write the posts in two different languages isn’t part of what’s keeping me away; on the other hand, well, I don’t exactly want to give up on either part of the blog, so… (Maybe I just need to write shorter posts?)

I got through spurts with blogging. I’m just starting to pick back up again after a dry spell of a few months.

Aye, we really do have similar problems with that, don’t we! Although I must also admit that it was easier to post often when I had time, during the day, to think and ponder about posts. Now everything I write here has to be done the spurt-of-the-moment way, and it’s not always exactly great…
