To Write or Not to Write

I said earlier that I was going to take part in this year's NaNoWriMo. Or at least that was the plan. But, you know, things don't always go as we plan.

I tried to make preparations and all, I really did. I have the story planned in my head, and I made a few drafts, mostly about background information such as history, culture, mythology and language of the people in my made-up universe. I also drew a calendar for making notes of my word count. And I  started to do the thing, I wrote every day on the first week. But the thing is that during that week I realised that I don't really have the mood for writing.

It's not that I don't have enough time. Recently, I have plenty of free time - too much of it, actually. I also have lots of basic ideas that I really wish I could write sometime. But I don't feel like writing now, and I don't think it's a good idea to force it, because if I do so, I might grow to hate the story. So, after writing only about 200 words per day (which is practically less than nothing; one should write at least 50 000 words in 30 days) on the first week of November, I decided to quit the whole thing. This is not for me. Not now. Maybe next year.
