National Novel Writing Month, Day 15
Word count: 5,181
I did not write today. I didn’t even think much about the story. I think in its present shapeless form it’s a non-starter. I won’t say it’s dead because there’s a germ/seed/substitute-your-own-thing there that could be nurtured into a proper story but as it is now, I have neither the will nor imagination to prop it up, flesh it out or just plain wing it.
In a way it’s a relief to realize this year’s project is going nowhere at the halfway mark, because I can go back to my other writing projects that much sooner. Which I will do, for real!
I may have a brilliant revelation overnight and take back everything I’ve just typed out but I would not bet large, small or any sums of money on it.
