First off, I wanted to say Happy Thanksgiving to all our friends out there in the USA. Here’s hoping you count your blessings and give thanks for all the wonderful things that have happened to you over the past year.

I finished NaNoWriMo 2006 with 50037 words and 11 days to spare. On schedule and before Thanksgiving. Huzzah! Go Team NaNo. However I noticed something interesting happening in my writing style this year. And it distresses me a bit. My writing has gotten much more rigid and focused. I try and keep a certain pace, making sure I hit every “plot” point in my outline or… create a new point that sounds and works better than the old. Unlike past years where I had an idea for a story and a start and an end in mind and then tried to meander through some world to tie the two ends together so they became a novel.

I can write and write and write without stopping to think. Which is exactly what a good NaNoWriMo is, to silence the inner editor so that you can constantly write and work towards the final two words of your story, The End. But I’m noticing that this alone tends to produce staleness and blandness in my writing. At my friend’s house, we wrote and shared paragraphs and ideas from our novels and her writing was much more relaxed and fluid and fun. Mine seemed old and uptight and well, bland. I wanted to write what she had… her’s just seemed more fun and interesting than my psycho-dark fantasy thing.

I think what I do need is to loosen the grasp on the pen and look through things in a new light again. But I am not sure how or what to do? How does one put the *umph* and fantasy and fun back into writing again. Even when your whole life and world revolves around writing every day. Because that is what I do, write at the day job and write a lot when I get home. I wonder if a part of my stigma is because my writing at work tends to be more focused and concise than the fun, personal writing I want to see develop from my mind and scratch across the written page. So, this time I am turning to you for ideas. Do you have any ideas of how you would loosen up some stiff and dull writing? I’m all ears.
