I wonder if there is a pattern

For some reason, probably the newness of reading web pages on my new iPod touch, I started reading my blog archives tonight. It dawned on me that perhaps it might be an interesting exercise to trace the ups and downs of my creativity. There are so many posts here where I have a tendency to whine and complain, but others mystify me. You know the syndrome: Did I really write that? The words flow so smoothly and hold my interest to the point that it seems probable that someone who can write hijacked my blog.

Some of those posts are centered on prompts, and others simply on AWAD, which is how I started this blog in the beginning.

So maybe that should be my focus. Blog a new word every chance I get. Increase vocabulary. Practice. Maybe come up with interesting facets that could be used with characters.

Anyway, this is post #500. I wonder if I could design a graph to see if there's a pattern to any of this. It has been a dry, dry summer, creatively speaking, and truth be told I haven't missed it all that much. There just wasn't room in the brain to worry about it. Now I'm starting to feel the hunger coming back. The longing for a character and his/her story to tell. I even have a name in my head but I'm not speaking it until I know what that name connects to. After all NaNo is really just around the corner, right?

Then there's the editing that needs to be done. And the submitting. :)
