The first month of the year is over! Whew! It kind of feels fast, but looking at all the entries I made for the past month — wow.

Writing everyday for a month is not really a new thing for me, as I’ve been a part of NaNoWriMo for the past five years. But writing a new thing everyday, something that could sort of stand on its own is hard. I felt like I was pulling teeth at the start of the month, and I don’t know if I have enough material or ideas to continue writing for the remaining 300+ more days of the year. All I know is that I need to write.

I recycled a lot of my NaNo characters here and you will be seeing more of them for sure. Guess who are my favorites. Also I noticed a trend in the themes of what I’m writing, but I think I won’t be having changes with that. At least not now.

It’s been an interesting month, and I am looking forward to February (plus there’s fewer days, but like that would matter). I’m thinking of picking up on more challenges, making another series and possibly trying out a new genre. Let’s see where this would go.

Oh, but I’m picking up on suggestions. Like, what to write, or if you have any prompts or whatever, I’m more than willing to accept them. The more ideas, the better.
