Camp NaNo goals and random updates

So. I still have not written. At all. Nothing. Not one freaking word on any of my stories so far this year. It’s driving me nuts but every time I try nothing comes out. I’ve decided instead of trying to force myself to write new things while my muse is apparently totally on vacation, for Camp NaNo in April I’m instead going to focus on editing. My goal for April will be 20 hours of editing, on anything I can focus on… Amanda-story, Amanda-sequel, Remy-sequel… heck, maybe even Alexz-story if I can get back into that character’s head enough. My hope is that editing will get my head back into the stories and maybe I’ll end up writing a little something sooner or later.

I also have not read a book so far this year. Not one full book. I got 5 (6?) books from the library a few weeks ago and I did start reading one, and it’s actually a fairly good book (from the Dog Diaries series that I totally love) but I just never feel motivated to actually sit down and read.

My stepdad is coming to visit mid-April for a week, which will be fun, it’s always tons of fun when he visits… And the local fair is next week and hopefully I’ll be going with a group from the housing assistance program I’m a part of (I went with them last year). Got my income tax refunds and put most of it away for our San Diego trip this year, whenever that may be. Our last San Diego trip was last August and I *still* haven’t gone through and cropped/resized all the pictures… I’ve done a little over 400 of them, there are 1,450 in all. Ugh.

I’m not sure if I’ve ever talked about my love for the show Once Upon a Time on this blog… That show has been a very big part of my life for 6 years now. And recently it was announced that the current season will be it’s last. That’s been hard to deal with… On one hand I’ve been very vocal about how much I hate this season and the time-jump and half the main cast leaving and the focus shifting so much etc etc. On the other hand, as long as there were new episodes I could hope that it would get better… Only a handful of new episodes left now, forever. I’m disappointed that SwanQueen, my favorite ship, never became canon, but I’m also disappointed that I won’t be able to see these character’s adventures anymore regardless of who they are with romantically.

Easter is the anniversary of my grandpa’s death and it’s usually a very hard time for me and my mom every year. I’m feeling okay so far this year, but it’s definitely on my mind.
