NaNoWriMo Update - 11/03/2016

Well, I'm at 7,853 words now. I got a staggering 2,316 today while I only needed 1,667 AND, I killed my first character!!! No details, sorry.

I wonder if I should George R. R. Martin this thing...

Hey blog? How ya been?

Well, it's obviously been a LOOOOOONG time since I've written anything here! I'll have to go through all my old posts to see if there is any gold I can salvage from those old ramblings.

What am I doing back here? Well, I started the NaNoWriMo project. I thought I'd make a blog to chronicle my attempt at such an ambitious writing project and post my progress, failures and experiences along the way. Something that I can look back on when it's all done and see where it likely went off the rails!

 I'll say ahead of time, this novel is going to be a wreck. I usually write poetry. This will be the longest thing I've ever written clocking in at around 50,000 words. I'm using an idea I had for a short story and half-ass developed. Hopefully I can create some interesting subplots and get a little more mileage out of it.

At any rate, you can follow my progress here if you're so inclined: R.D. Crocker

I've also got a Facebook Author page you can find here: R.D. Crocker Author

Blogging about writing... I know how redundant that is. Trust me.

Before the world you know was like it is
I held a lover once and I was his
And we walked along the river in the sun
But he's a lonely man, so this was done
The only place we had to meet was night
While the sun he sleeps in shadows we can hide
On the mountainside we spent our time together
but it is gone when morning comes

And you are the wolf
And I am the moon
And in the endless sky we are but one
We are alive
In my dreams wolf and I

How many days and nights will come and go
While the only light you'll see is from my glow
There will never be a dawn that breaks the spell surrounding us
Til the earth dies with the sun

And you are the wolf
And I am the moon
And in the endless sky we are but one
We are alive
In my dreams wolf and I
(Repeat)

Oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh (4x)
Aaah aaah aaah aaaah aaah (2x)

In the endless sky we are but one
Hmmmm mmm

Quote for today

The fact is that the average man's love of liberty is nine-tenths imaginary, exactly like his love of sense, justice and truth. He is not actually happy when free; he is uncomfortable, a bit alarmed, and intolerably lonely. Liberty is not a thing for the great masses of men. It is the exclusive possession of a small and disreputable minority, like knowledge, courage and honor. It takes a special sort of man to understand and enjoy liberty - and he is usually an outlaw in democratic societies.

H.L. Mencken, February 12, 1923

Irrationally held truths may be more harmful than reasoned errors.

Bored!

I'm so damned bored right now. I've been sitting in a McDonald's leeching their Wi-Fi for the last three hours waiting on my car to get fixed.

PLEASE HURRY UP! I CAN'T TAKE ALL THIS MINDLESS CHATTER HERE AND THESE SNOTTY KIDS CRYING ARE DRIVING ME CRAZY!!!!!!!!!

Sunshine

Its a great day outside, the air is crisp and cool just like I like it. Its starting off to be a shitty day though. I've had so much going on lately, so much utter bullshit with my kids and my hearts broken. I don't know what my problem is today, I just wish I could enjoy how wonderful it is out there.

I feel like I'm drowning. To bad its not in the sunshine.
