I picked the wrong month to have a busy but sort of dull life

[owlmoose]

This is the problem with NaBloWriMo: finding time, a compelling topic, and inspiration all at once.

I could write about the second concert this afternoon, but since it was very much like the first, except a little better, there doesn't seem to be much point going into any more detail. I could go back to politics, but it seems like it's all been said until something actually new happens, instead of lots of rehashing to past. I haven't had time to work on fic, really, which is too bad because I owe muggy_mountain a story for the excellent Kinoc piece she wrote for our impromptu fic trade, not to mention all those "Out of the Comfort Zone" prompts I haven't touched yet. Work has been busy, kind of stressful, but not in any way that would make for interesting stories. I have read books and watched TV (being one of the half-dozen people who has not yet given up on Heroes, and Top Chef started last week) and movies, but nothing so inspiring that I feel moved to write them up really.

So, apologies for a blah and uninspired November so far. Still a week to go; maybe things will turn around.

"maybe things will turn around"

Let us hope not. All too often interesting things are disastrous. Be content that your life is rubbing along in a reasonably decent fashion with no surprises. Think of Pepys, he had some really lively stuff but most of it was commonplace and it is for that look into the real and ordinary world that we so greatly appreciate him now. ;)

True, I would rather not have my life turn "interesting" in the "may you live in interesting times" curse sort of way. ;) I'm more hoping that my energy and inspiration levels will turn around, so that I, too, can make my everyday life seem lively again.

Really, there's no hurry on the fictrade!

I agree with Ikon in some respects, it can be nice for things to be slow.

But also, sometimes we don't realize how interesting our life is until we write it down --and ideally, share it with others.
