nano progress is back on!

so...my word count has been crawling slower than a slug in the freezer, but i've been working my butt off!

i hit a wall, my first real big wall since starting this book. normally, or rather id like to say previously, this would have meant months of nothing in the keystroke department, but with a climbing target on my stats page and the little stair of progress acting more like a plateau i knew i needed to keep trudging along, trying everything in the book, in order to break that wall. I did, cleaned the debris and am using the nice flat surface i've made as a runway.

so my biggest nano victory to date is having punched this wall, (called by some writers block, but i don't believe in writers block...ill post a thread about it)...right in the face until it crumbled.

this is why it took me some 6 years to finish my first novel. id hit a wall then sit on my brain for months on end. finally id get an idea and get back to work...then id hit a wall again.

the good news is creativity can be forced, "writers block" can be kung fu-ed in the neck and brutally decapitated like a Quentin Tarantino movie. and while nano hasn't really taught me this, it has forced me to really implement it, to an eye opening degree which i believe i shall not lose.

here's the next line of the next bit of my post-wall word monsoon...

“I’d kill for some air right now!”
