National Novel Writing Month 2015!

Happy NaNoWriMo! Or in the writing, happy exciting hell month to us! I know many of you know what this month is all about so I won't go into details or at least the long ass ones. But, this year, I'm making time to make blog posts about this joyous event since I'm no longer in school. All of the information I'm gonna give you are going to be dates I'm going to be posting in relation to this so we can interact with each other as writers and maybe do random sprints on twitter if you're interested, of course. ;)

Originally, I wasn't going to take part of this, I was planning to stay hidden in the writing cave to work on it with no pressure from the limited time. Life can affect the writing and 80% of the time, I don't have the ability to balance stuff until its too late. However, once I saw the famous book tubers talk about this event, I realize that I can't do that. I needed to make a goal and kick ass like the rest of you can with your novels. In my writing, I'm a messy one that likes to work multiple projects at once instead of sticking to only one. Last year and 2013, I worked on my Reaper series and surprisingly I had success in it, including getting to 50k each time.. (Maybe its the calling novel? Just wait and see haha), but this year I have a messy method on writing various chapters of my bucket list stories. You heard me folks, I'm gonna work on my bucket list stories as a 'novel'. Twelve stories with multiple chapters, 50k, simple right? Maybe, maybe not. I just hope that things are gonna do decently and kick ass with you all on this monthly journey. So let's give each other the  motivation we need and enjoy ourselves because if we don't write, our minions (characters) are gonna kick our butts in our dreams lol.

Thank you for being a part of this post. I'll leave all the dates and twitter hashtag down below for you and let's be great writing friends on NaNoWriMo as well. Keep kicking ass and I'll see you guys with a book review on a random book in my shelves. Good luck and happy NaNoWriMo!!!

The randomness of My Writing (Take One)

Hey guys. Since today is the release of my anime review blog, I'm not going to post a new book review for you. But instead, I wanted to talk about my writing process. This blog is not only a book reviewing blog, but a personal writing journey one too. So, I figured why not talk about my journey as a writer on here too. So, let's do it.

Let's consider today's title, 'randomness take one'. Like many of you writers, I'm a crazy one. One that is truly confuse about which solid project to work on and stick with for a extended period of time. Especially when a event is occurring outside of the writing life. Now, don't get me wrong, a lot of my confusion has to do with laziness and self-doubt. With the laziness, it is the lack of motivation to write because of my self doubt. I self doubt a lot of times and when I do have the motivation to write, nothing happens. And that's my fault.

The randomness in my writing involves a lot of wolves and what ifs. Plus, it involves me daydreaming when I'm probably not suppose too. And that's fun and all, but is it truly productive? Nope. The randomness should be involving the bursts of jolting shit down on paper or on a word document like I'm doing now for this blog post. But instead, it brings me to wondering if I'm meant to be a writer or someone that can teach about writing. It's truly random when you think about the crossroad, but it doesn't mean people like you and I are quitting.

We want to write, we want to teach the full aspects of writing that doesn't involve text books, we as writers want to be random and pop out a book that's fun for readers instead of treating it like a business. Its wrong of me to have doubts, but its going happen to me and to everyone else. So maybe this post isn't about our bursts of randomness in writing, but maybe in the random sets of self doubting. I'm saying its okay to feel this way, but we as writers and artists have to work together to get out of the ruts and into being what we are meant to be, writers.
