An Update On Everything
I’ve been neglecting this blog for a while.
First, NaNoWriMo. Some days, I didn’t have enough words to write a letter, much less a blog entry. When I did, I rather wrote a letter. The good news is that I got my words done on a steady pace, and I’ll get the 50K by the end of November.
Then, some days, I thought that I was a non-writer who just can’t get her words straight or her thoughts across. That there was some trick to writing, something really obvious that everybody else knew and didn’t even think it would be worth saying, and I didn’t know it and because of that, I failed.
Just when I’d become convinced that was the case, I got my first acceptance for a story in English. The best part about that is that they want a Latvian version of the story too–for me, this means a lot, as I still think of myself as a Latvian writer who’s sidetracked by the bigger, bolder English-speaking market.
And a couple of days later, when I was obsessed by the thought that I won’t have an idea for anything new after I finish NaNo novel, I got struck by inspiration. But that’s a story for another post.
