The NaNoWriMo Chronicles: Day 9
Today was a lot like yesterday. Writing was harder than I thought it would be. I've heard about people getting into slumps when they hit Day 10 or around it. I can say that I've hit that slump, but not for the reasons I think most people do.
It's not that I've hit much of a snag with my story. I am at a slower part of the story that is taking longer to write, but it's my personal life that's been affecting my writing. My husband's job is moving him to a different location, so four days out of the week he's going to be away working and three days a week he'll be home. Which doesn't sound too bad, I know, but it is an adjustment for us, and it's his new schedule until January. We just got married a little less than a month ago, and I don't think either of us thought this was how the first month would go.
I've been trying to use my emotions for my characters, especially my main character, because she's going through life changes too, and she's uncertain about them. On the one hand she wants to be happy and excited about her new life, but there's a lot of hesitation about it too. That's how I'm feeling now too. A lot of uncertainty, but I'm happy for my husband and this new opportunity. Hopefully my writing doesn't take too hard of a hit with all these changes.
Happy writing y'all! I'll see you tomorrow!
