NaNo — Day 13
Wow, some Nano-ers have already passed the 50k word mark! You guys are really a huge inspiration to me — just putting it out there. 
Already it’s the 13th day into Nanowrimo! Two more days until the halfway point of November… It’s really surprising. The past two weeks really zoomed right by. Two weeks of writing, coffee-drinking, finger cramps…
The third week is always the worst, at least for me. It’s that point in the month where I get bored with noveling, suffer from a severe case of writer’s block — even though the 50k word mark is right around the corner. Of couse, Nanowrimo isn’t only about writing 50,000 words — that’s just a goal for one to achieve. It’s about making the time to sit down and writing the novel you’ve always wanted, the struggle to shove procrastination to the side, ridding yourself from the pesky inner editor for a month. It’s about letting your creativity and imagination collide and wreaking havoc all over your novel, letting it take over like a monster. In the end, it’s not about whether or not you’ve written 50k words (though you surely should be proud of yourself for doing so); it’s about unleashing your mind to the depths of noveling freely and imperfectly.
A synopsis of Lucky Red Envelopes (not sure if this will make sense:
It feels so much better
Letting things go
Until you realize
They might never come back
But you just can’t stop
Until everything you have
All those precious memories
Are gone
And you’re left with nothing
To cling to
A blank
Empty
Slate
And no
Undo
Button
For
You
To
Push
And no luck
Or good fortune
In those red envelopes
For you to keep
Basically, Lucky Red Envelopes is a Chinese-American girl struggling to find her own place in the world. Some people think she’s mental, others think she’s crazy, and one person even thinks she’s a goddess. (Heh, heh.) Then she discovers not everything in her life is an illusion, and reveals the key to the sky.
o.O Wierd, right?
