Well, I have employment until the end of the November, so for those playing at home, that’s another month on this project. While it’s nice to have work – I’ve been told the company has nothing right now – I was looking forward to breaking free of this place. There was a staffing shake-up last week and now I’ve been saddled with more responsibility. The department’s working better as a team, but I liked it better when I could coast through the day without having ten billion documents come flying across my desk.
At the same time, since I will be employed to the end of November, I have an opportunity to do NaNoWriMo this year. If I’m going to be stuck here, I might as well as make the most of it, right? Writing at work is really the only way I can “stick it to the man” around here anyway. Potentially, my office buddy is done at the end of October, unless they extend him, so that would mean I would have my own office. No one would be around to notice that I’m not working on something work related. I mean, I would still be working, but I wouldn’t have to worry about switching windows constantly. I really do want to try NaNoWriMo this year. I spend 8.5 hours a day sitting in front of a computer; I’d be stupid not to be writing during that time. Though, if I do decide, that means I should probably start planning the plot of a story. Writing by the seat of my pants probably wouldn’t help my daily word quota.
As much as I enjoy writing fanfic, I haven’t written any original stuff in ages, not since my Creative Writing class. While I don’t feel like I should be creating original worlds, because I hate world building, I kind of miss that thrill of creating something that’s yours alone. We’ll see. I could become crazy busy starting next week for all I know.
