Had our first Artist's Way meeting last night, which was mostly just organizational and talking about the process rather than Doing The First Chapter even. And I got up and did my morning pages like a good girl, started getting dressed, came in to check Teh Intarweb weather reports...

...and instead wrote the beginning of a story. Something I haven't done, nor even attempted, for what, ten years? This is scary, in a good way, I think. But also just scary.

(The true test, of course, will be if I can write the middle of it. But to have started at all is...yeah.)

I always had problems with that until this last year when I doggedly forced my way through NaNoWriMo last year. It seemed like I had a much easier time writing the middle because I was able to keep everything in my head and so I could actually make sense of the story I was trying to tell.

And, yes, I am going to do NaNoWriMo again this year. I just hope it's not like last year where I saw a "Started NaNoWriMo" post from someone on my flist and said "Right. What am I going to write?" closely followed by a discussion about a ShadowRun game I was going to participate in closely followed by writing a story about a post-apocalyptic Cleveland.

Yes. My NaNo submission was about a post-apocalyptic Cleveland. Don't ask.
