Welcome to December the 1st. November is gone, far, far away. NaBloPoMo is over. NaNoWriMo is over. I finally got sleep last night! Apparently I had to be air lifted to bed at 9 o’clock but I remember nothing. Let’s just say November finally caught up on me. I think I posted everyday although I could be wrong. And I definitely got past 50k on my NaNo novel…including the 5k that little man lost on me yesterday. *Grumbles quietly to self*
So now what? I’m at a loss. I’ve been so used to getting up with a plan that now I don’t know what to be doing. And what I did before doesn’t seem fun anymore. Hmm….
I even found myself looking out for other things to take on throughout December. Because Christmas isn’t enough for me…:/
Oh, I did fail something actually. I failed my November Reading Challenge miserably. I was supposed to read three books set during a World War. I started to read Band of Brothers which is really good by the way but everytime I tried to read it, I started to think about my NaNo novel so lets just say it didn’t go very far. Maybe I’ll try and do it this month. If a certain book arrives this month, I may even get to take part in the book club on blogcatalog.
So now it’s December, which means I can no longer ignore Christmas and I’ve been thinking about the new year. Yesterday, I sort of decided to make another blog or else incorporate what I’m doing into the other blog I already have. You may have noticed that I love to write, but I’ve never tried to get published…yet I give other people advice on writing. So that doesn’t really make much sense. I wondered how I could be of use to people that are trying to get published. I’m including short stories, poetry, open letters, all forms of writing in that.
It’s kind of a stupid idea but I sort of thought about having a year long challenge where I try to get things published online and in print and let people know how it goes, if I get a response, if that response is personal, how long it took, that kind of thing. Then at the end of the year, I could stop and be like well, I tried, now I can write for fun and forget about anything else. I could even invite other people to give their stories along the way. I don’t know. I feel like I need a plan for a change. This way, I would have an excuse to keep writing a lot 
I used to do a little bit of freelance writing online and although I enjoyed it, I craved fiction. But I gave it up because of problems with Internet connectivity. Since then, I’ve felt like something was missing, I’ve tried to fill it with my other blog but it didn’t really do the job. It made the feeling that I was missing out even stronger. NaNoWriMo sort of filled the void a little. So this new idea is my solution or resolution for next year if it still sounds like a good idea by January.
So, what are your plans for next year if any? Do you make New Year Resolutions? I think this will be my first one if it’s feasible!
