I’m bored. Who else has or is trying to read Billy Budd?

October 29, 2023 at 2:07 pm #161447I have a problem…
So I have a WIP that I’m going to write for NaNo and I’m really excited to write it. But the thing is, I’ve been making really good progress on my other WIP. Since I’ll be writing so much for NaNo, I don’t think I’ll have the time or energy to write anything for my other WIP during November. I’m afraid though that I’ll lose my momentum with it by the time NaNo is over. I don’t know what to do. 😅 I’m for sure participating in NaNo with a whole new WIP idea, but do you guys have any ideas on how to not lose my momentum with my other WIP during it?
Um… tags. Let’s see here… (and if you can’t think of anything, don’t feel like you have to reply XD)

October 29, 2023 at 2:10 pm #161448Hmmm… That’s a good point.
I would maybe try to write down your ideas for your current WIP and think of some scenes you’ll be excited to write after Nano. It’ll probably be hard to get back in the momentum for the first day, but after you’re writing it again it’ll probably get easier.
I’ll be interested to see what other people say about this too, since I can definitely relate. I usually just work on the project I feel like at the moment, which doesn’t really work for a writing challenge like you’re doing.
Anyway, I hope it goes well!

You can pronounce it however you want.
October 29, 2023 at 3:09 pm #161453Ok, that’s a good idea! I’ll probably try that.
Thanks!!

Its always great to have a motivation, that seems like the best way to get back to your WIP! 🙂

October 29, 2023 at 4:51 pm #161467Oh I see! I think the best thing you can do is after you’re done with your challenge/exhausted on the new wip, force yourself to come back to the old one. If the old one is something you love to write/worldbuild for, you can always come up with new ideas that will make you excited to write again 🙂 If you don’t feel like writing the old one, just make yourself do it, the inspiration usually comes part way through a project for me. Hope that helps!

October 30, 2023 at 8:47 pm #161888It’s okay!
Personally, I’ve never played either. So I’m not really sure what to expect.
