izmeina: (oro)
Saturday 13th was the date when the usually annual Astrorest was held at the local university.

It is strange that I have barely darkened the door of the place since I bought my ill fated plane ticket for my long ago cancelled Amsterdam Adventure at a travel agent there back in March 2020. That was just days before the whole Covid thing blew up around the world and did not blow over but like a juggernaut  just got bigger and bigger.


From an absence of almost 18 months, I turned up there 2 days in a row.

I was supposed to post this on the evening of Monday 15th November. The half way point of Nanowrimo. But at this stage, I guess that’s not going to happen.

The official word count at the half way mark is of course 25,000. I am at 28,888 so just over 2 days ahead of schedule and I intend to keep it that way.
Unlike the last 5 years where I had a serious case of Writer’s Block and was completely incapable of telling a proper story, this time it is more like a case of the Writer’s Runs where I simply cannot keep up with all the ideas begging to be set down upon the page.

At this stage I have a prompt list of some 15 ideas and have managed to cover only 3 of them.
Once again I am not writing a proper Nanowrimo novel with protagonist, antagonist and assorted side kicks. It is more like morning pages on steroids but that’s just fine by me because I have learned that sometimes the actual story is not the one you make up but the one that is happening in your own life.
