The Best Laid Plans…

… are nothing compared to laziness and writer’s block.

I tried – I really tried – to get a novel done this month. I thought it would be fun, exciting, and would fill me with a sense of accomplishment.

Alas, writer’s block, life, and laziness got in the way. I froze up. Couldn’t think of things for my main character to do. And instead of working through it, I played around online, or shut the computer off and went out, or vegged on the couch while watching Julia Roberts movies. This is how, while I aimed for 50,000 words in a month, I only got 22,000.

Sigh.

On the bright side, I did finish up a movie review for The Better Drink – this month I did a “New on DVD” film, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. So at least I accomplished something.

And there’s always next year to finish my novel, right?
