I’ve had several ideas for new posts and, yet, none have come forward as a reality. It’s something that affects me greatly: I plan my posts for so long that it is extremely difficult to me to press that “publish” button. The same applies to all my writing: most of it stays in my mind as I perfect it in a complete mental, cerebral way, until I realize I have a notebook and could probably use a little jotting down things.
It is an issue that NaNoWriMo corrected. For that month, I may not have written every single day, but I did get used to put down whatever was in my mind. The quantity was there, but how about the quality? I’ll be judge of that, since I’m the only one with access to my story, of course ^^
I had more to say about the subject, but I best resume my normal activities. Expect more interviews and posts from me in a short period!

I never knew you had a blog! Now that I do, I shall become on of your regular visitors! *w* <3
I am glad to hear that NaNoWriMo had such a positive effect on you, an effect I wish it had on me too. I found it to be a wonderfully inspirational experience, but sadly I lacked the self-discipline required to fully complete such a daunting task. However, I know that you do not: you have the energy and passion required, and that is why I know that even if you may have found some blog posts hard to write, this does not have to be the case. You have the seed within you to do wonders, and having browsed your wonderful blog I am in no doubt.
Happy writing!

It is a pleasure to have you as a reader! ^^
Thank you for the positive words which have brought a wide smile to my face. Even if I’m only replying almost a week later, I have read them at least four times during these days and they never failed to make me happy. You’re very flattering =)
Self-discipline is a must in NaNoWriMo. There is no other secret to win it and that’s probably how it helped the most: by teaching me that I do not need to think so much, at least for the first draft. The only thing I need to do is write. That costs to everyone who likes to perfect each one of their words. I know I found is strange at the beginning, but then it felt really good – a complete freedom.
Thank you too for commenting. I have told you this more than once, but maybe next year we’ll be doing NaNo together.
