I'm at 18,000 words

Hello my dear readers,

Finally another blog update… I don't know where to begin. I kept myself busy with writing a lot. I am really determined to keep this "project" going for at least 30 days like a little Nanowrimo only that I'm doing this now and now in November. I feel driven to take notes of me and the things, anything that is related to hearing, my experience. I wonder if I already have this experience but I feel like doing it so I'll do that. As long as I keep writing anything it is good, it keeps me going. I still write here and there a few poems but not that much as I did last month were I wrote 3-4 poems daily. Yes, can you believe? I am still amazed that this was possible. Somehow I like it when I have a deadline or something that pushes me to go to the limit, this is very good for the creativity. I've been thinking again about the surgery which I still don’t know when I'll have it or if I'll have it at all since I do hear again with my hearing aid. I have to wait a bit more than a week before I will speak with my surgeon and then I will hopefully know when I could possibly have that surgery, until then I will use every free minute to write. I feel really blessed that I can do that right now. I am not sure how things will look next week whether I'll have to go back to work. I am sure many things will change after my surgery, I don't know how but I know it will all be good.

I was in a dark mood last week why? Oh well let's say I just wasn't feeling so well. I won't go much into detail here since some of my Austrian friends are reading this blog too, that's the bad thing of letting them know, you can't write privately anymore :P just joking it's fine, eventually they have to find it out. There are other friends whom I will tell because I will share here my "ci journey" here and I will use youtube and post videos from time to time so I will slowly let them know. There are some whom I want to know and read this here. It's good to keep the in touch this way rather than sending emails. You just copy and paste this link and ta-da they can read and hear what's going on.

At present I feel quite okay. I'm outside enjoying the warm weather and I wrote almost 2,600 words today. I'm on a good track :) I think I'm at 18,000 today which is where I need to be. I'm sure that most of my writing is not interesting to my reader but I need every word so I will leave it there and later some time I can go back and edit all this here. (I mean the story, I'm currently working on) ;)

In the past few days I read so many great blogs about other people and their journey or their experience with their implant. I love it. I have bookmarked a few sites so I can check them out again and hear their stories. Each of them is unique. Most of them are quite positive, only from time to time I read that some of them had a negative experience, not with the implant itself but rather with the nurses at hospital who were not so hostile but all was relatively positive.

There's one question I have. Can a defibrillator kill you or your implant rather than helping you? I know this is a horrible thought but can that be possible? Huh, what a thought. I'll use this as my writing prompt for my writing.

Have a nice day.
I'll write to you very soon! :)

Nanowrimo| Are you stuck??

Hello! A short update on my nanowrimo challenge. It's my 4th day and yesterday I felt a bit stuck and not really into the mood to write so I wrote something a bit off track. I am sure that I will do a lot of cut and paste after this month but that should not be my worry at the moment. Editing is for December or whenever you feel ready to do so.

Today I was a bit more productive but I still need a few more words and then I'm done for today. I had this wonderful thought.

Remeber when you were at school and had to take an exam. There was this tricky question and you just didn't know how to answer it but but then you thought if I do write something as an answer anything at all it will still count.

The teacher can then decide if he gives you a point or not or just half the point BECAUSE you have written somthing. See the same goes for NaNoWriMo. If you do write something you can later decide if this can be used for sth. your story at the end of this month or not but I you haven't written anything at all then you can't do it. Does that make sense? So each time you feel blocked just tell yourself "I'm going to write something anything, even if this currently does not have anything to do with my story. I can delete it later after this month. If I have something written then I can also choose if I'm going to keep some of the paragraphs or not." :))

Well, I hope that makes somehow sense. I'm quite into it and feel already a bit scatter-brained but it's fun. :)) so keep writing!

Have a great day
