Pre-NaNo jitters
Oct. 31st, 2012 11:23 pmSo -- a week ago I was all genuinely excited to start NaNoWriMo! I had an outline and little character sheets for all of the key characters, all nicely typed out and ready to go. I figured I was as prepared as prepared could be...
...and, tonight, half an hour before I'm allowed to start writing, I just want to go hide and not have to write anything again ever. :) I haven't been writing regularly since...gah, nearly the beginning of the year? I'm out of practice. I vaguely know the story I want to tell, but I'm not sure I'm capable of telling it well enough.
I'm sure I'll be fine, that this is just performance anxiety...but, bleah. I can complain about it on the Internet if I want to. So I'm complaining about it on the Internet right now. :)
