ishime...I suck at NaNo. No really, I do.
I suck like 7th day and barely 400 words - and I'm starting to wonder what possessed me when I thought that giving it a try might be a good idea. NaNo definitely doesn't help with my writer block.
Well, at least I don't suck at sucking at NaNo. If you fail, better fail fuckin' epically, eh?
But then again, periods never helped, either, NaNo or not. Seriously, the damn things just kill my inspiration every fucking time. And it was painful, too. How could anyone consider that the symbol of their womanhood is a mystery for me. And a rather scary one, at that.
Oh, and I just found out that NO, I can't "write crap and not worry about editing". How do you guys even do that? Writing crap knowing you're writing crap and happily going on to write more crap? My brains just plain denies me that blessing. I need my words to feel right, otherwise I'll get stuck.
...So yeah, until now, NaNo has been an epic fail. I'm left considering dropping the fic and going back to having fun writing other stuff, rather than procrastinating to avoid what I should be writing for NaNo. I guess I'll wait until next week to see if I can manage a wordcount a little less pathetic.
And now, back to procrastinating!Screw you, guilt. Writing should not be such a chore anyway.

Date: 2010-11-08 01:46 am (UTC)pourrie! :)Dans les faits, non, je ne trouve pas que tout ce que je fais, c'est de la merde (sinon, bonjour la déprime... ;-_-). Seulement, ça m'aide à ne pas arrêter d'écrire de me dire que je pourrai prendre le temps plus tard d'améliorer ce que j'ai fait.
J'ai de toute façon plus de facilité à écrire un genre de 'squelette' d'histoire, plein de trous, et de le compléter ensuite pour en faire un tout cohérent. Si je fais un plan, je ne le respecte pas : je démarre plutôt avec une idée générale et je développe au fur et à mesure. Pour moi, c'est plus important de prendre plaisir à écrire que de produire un truc qui soit réellement bon (ce qui est quasi impossible vu la sévérité avec laquelle je juge ce que je fais).
J'ai l'idée que je me prends assez la tête dans la Vraie Vie que je ne vais pas me faire chier à tenter d'écrire 'parfaitement bien'. Au final, ce que je fais ne sera jamais publié et, au mieux, lu par à peine quelques personnes : si ces personnes-là ont autant de plaisir à lire que j'en ai eu à écrire, ça me satisfait.
