So I've been trying to make inroads into authorship lately. It's not the first time I've tried writing creative stuff but I think I don't try doing it often enough. Also, out of the many times that I have actually made attempts, there have been only a handful of occasions where I have successfully produced something. Mostly, I stick to poetry and short stories because those were things that have always seemed manageable to me. I have now and then also tried writing longer forms of fiction in the past, mostly for Nanowrimo, and those have all failed. I am currently attempting to write a novel (or two or more!) in order to enter it into a competition. Such gradiose ambitions. I don't even know if I'll really make it in time for the deadline. I guess for now I'll just be content if I can have a manuscript written out. Perhaps nothing much will become of it, but if I could just write one and complete it, maybe something magical will eventually happen. And...
