Without a clue

Today's 100 words:

"Growing older hasn't made me any more certain of my place or purpose in this world."

Feeling restless after a long day, I tweeted these words last night as I aimlessly surfed the Internet. As a teenager, I thought that by my current age, I would certainly know what I was doing in life. After all, my parents seemed so self-assured; they knew what life was about and how to live it. But the truth is I don't know, and I still feel like a kid fumbling her way toward the future without a clue.

NaNoWriMo uncertainty

There's now a possibility that I may not be able to participate in NaNoWriMo next month. I can't really get into the details right now, except to say that someone very close to me has discouraged me from making the attempt. I've been having a lot of fun brainstorming and prepping and have really been looking forward to working on my project, but I'll need to see what happens in the next few days in order to decide if it's going to happen this year.

Just don't count me out yet. ;)
