I haven't written much in a few years. And definitely not consistently. It's been something I've struggled with a lot. I want to write. I love it and I miss it, but due to life and mental health it just hasn't been happening.
Last year, I was thinking about doing nanowrimo to get myself in gear again. I immediately gave up. It was just too much. I tend to do that whole thing where it's all or nothing. I didn't write enough the first day and couldnt catch up the next and soon, everything was ruined.
This year I wasn't planning on acknowledging November in any special way. But then the lovely people in the FAW discord decided to do wamaucmo (write as much as u can month) instead of nanowrimo and I found myself intrigued.
"As much as you can" doesn't necessarily have to mean a lot. Maybe some days as much as I can is one sentence. That's still more than I've done in months! I decided to try.
Now I've written for three days in a row. Every day of this month (so far) I've opened up Scrivener and managed to put words on a page! It's not many words. And it's definitely not good words (I'm so rusty it hurts). But I am writing. And it feels so fucking good.
