It is crazy when all three kids and the husband is gone how quiet it is in the house. Today was a half day of school and the kids went mountain biking with their dad. I am sitting here in silence. I did go do a little shopping, cleaned up the much neglected kitchen and I though I should use the remaining time to write in peace.
I have been researching notebooks and how to organize my ideas. There is a bullet method that I am not going to adopt 100% but it looks like I will try some bits and pieces in my Camp NaNoWriMo
2017 notebook. I start a new notebook for every NaNoWriMo challenge. I will let you know how it works for me. The one idea that stood out to me is start with an index and number your pages so you can find things. I have to say this is genius and not sure why I never though of it before and I am hoping it will help me find my randomness I want later.
I am researching ideas now so that come April I have a ton of ideas and websites bookmarked in advance. Toying with trying to write a fantasy novel. The past few of my writing project have been dystopian. When I start doing research on my ideas for dystopian stories I kind of scare the living day lights out of myself. I think that a little fantasy will do my soul some good. I need to create a utopian world to repair my brokenness of dystopian research. I love to read dystopian but I can't seem to handle the research behind this type of writing.
I have kicked around an idea for a very long time. It was my first year idea for NaNoWriMo in 2013. I had no idea what I was doing and I got sick in week two and gave up writing. I never gave up the idea. I wanted time to process it and give myself enough space from that project to start over. I think with time you forget what you wrote the first time but hold onto the ideas you love. I am not going to start where I left off. I am going to start a new project with some of the same ideas. Four years seem like enough time to start over. Wish me luck.
