Oh now really. This is beginning to get on my nerves. My Writer has been having far too many problems with her sleeping and her medications and whatnot, and its getting in the way of the words I'm trying to give her. There's a block in her mind, the words are traveling and getting there, but each time she goes for days without breaking it open, the day she finally does they fall upon her like a blizzard. Tuesday she wrote furiously, getting 6.9K in one span of waking hours. But the few ones before and the one after my words have only been able to trickle through a small window in that block. Yes, she has magnificently validated me by reaching the 25K NaNoWriMo before the midpoint of November, but that isn't what I want.

I have been shut out for the last three days. My writer had a lot of bad things happen for her, one that completely blocked the words I was trying to give her. I wanted to beat her over the head with them, but the Characters stopped me. Even the bad guys.

I'm a muse. I may be fickle, jealous, and flighty, but when it comes to writing I forget my Writer has as many emotions as the Characters whom I work with do. But they got me to see how bad off she was, and if I gave her words she'd only take them to kill everyone within five pages. The Characters would not be happy, but it would be me they would haunt, so I let it go.

NaNoWriMo has started, and I've finally gotten a chance to sneak in. Sorry I'm late in posting this, but my Writer wanted to do other, non writerly stuff. I didn't approve, but she didn't listen.

In October she wasn't listening to me at ALL. She'd tinker with a piece of dialogue or play with the characters, but she wouldn't pay attention when I was trying to tell her the next scene was. She tweeted, blogged, chatted and ignored me. So I finally decided to wait and let her get nervous and then sneak up on her. Hehehehe boy was she in for a surprise.

My Writer started getting worried about not finishing the first in a series before NaNo started. Finally she found out she could do NaNoRebel and finish it, and I was pleased to see she also wanted to start the sequel during NaNo too. But I waited to give her the words. She made me wait, so I was going to let her squirm a bit.
