NaNoWriMo Day 14: Not feeling it, second part in a series

National Novel Writing Month, Day 14
Word count: 5,181

I didn’t write today, a day I could have devoted a lot of time to making up lost ground. There were a few reasons behind the non-writing. Some of it was lack of motivation. I was feeling lazy and unambitious today, not just writing-wise, but in general terms. More concerning, I’m not feeling much from the restart of the story. It’s not bad, but it’s not really grabbing me, either. The spirit of NaNoWriMo says sit down, start typing and see what happens, because something will happen. But at the same time I think you have to know yourself and decide if that hour or two or three spent writing (or trying to) will yield anything useful or not.

I’ll see what happens tomorrow and mull the story tonight. I’m not confident that this revised version will fly, but there may be a kernel there that I can use…somewhere.
