So, after a lot of introspection, I have decided that part of my issue is burnout. I’ve been working 10 hour days, volunteering, and going to school full time. Though those are all things I want to do, I need to switch it up and spend some time on my creativity. I felt wonderful when I won NaNoWriMo in 2010, so I looked into it, and there is a Summer Camp version of the competition! So, starting June 1, I will be participating in another NaNo. I am honestly very excited about this. I remember last time this really helped my creativity flourish, and was quite a wonderful experience. I look forward to it helping me out of my slump, while giving some of the non school and work related things that have been bumping around in my head an opportunity to get out.

My mate and I are discussing doing this together, again. I’m working on my characterization at this point, trying to nail down ideas about how this will go before the story gets started. I am also collecting sponsors, to help fund this little adventure in novelization. The website for my sponsorship page is: http://www.stayclassy.org/fundraise?fcid=198395
