GSWC- Day 20

Hey Everyone!

The challenge for today is just to write a blog post. I've been doing a lot of that lately with the Get Started Write Challenge- attempting to blog and do the challenges every day, so that's not too hard. However today I just wanted to take a step back from all of that.

This month has been crazy busy so far, and I've really surprised myself. I've managed to sit down and actually do these writing challenges. I didn't think that I was actually going to be able to get through them. That being said, it inspires me to keep going on my novel, and I need a little motivation. It's been hard ever since NaNoWriMo. The whole month of November I had this urge to keep writing -CONSTANTLY. Like every minute my novel was on my brain.

Now, as graduation comes closer and school is getting harder and I am working more, it is taking a back seat. Motivation is difficult. Especially if I am working on a difficult scene and the characters aren't speaking to me. That being said, the fact that I am completing this challenge (though a month late) I think is a good motivation for me to get back to my writing. This is something that I am passionate about, something that I love to do. I want to (if possible) make a career out of this, and that means writing even when it is hard. I think I'm going to head over to my tumblr and see if I can find some motivation, or maybe twitter. I have a lot of great people who help me out there. If you're interested, come check it out!
