Wow I haven’t done a post like this in years! Three years, to be exact. I logged into the NaNoWriMo site to make a new project and realised that my last NaNoWriMo project was from 2016.
I’ve pretty much lost the daily writing habit sometime in the last three years, so I’m hoping that this NaNoWriMo will be the kick in the pants that I need to get writing again. I’ll be doing another rebel NaNoWriMo – it’s probably going to be a collection of random short stories but we’ll see how it goes. I’m pretty excited because Nutcracker King started as a rebel NaNoWriMo story that was then developed into a novella.
To make sure that I don’t fail right out of the gate, I’ve organised a writein (my first!!) for the 2 November, so that even if I don’t manage to write anything on the 1st, I’ll have something by the 2nd. And of course, I’ll be posting weekly updates here to motivate myself to have something worth writing about.
Anyone else doing NaNoWriMo? If you are, all the best and let me know if you need a beta reader after NaNoWriMo!
It’s been aaaages since I attempted NaNoWriMo. Like 8 years, at least. I never made it past day three, I think because I always skipped any sort of planning and only had a vague idea of a story. I’d like to try it again in the near future though.
Good luck this year!!!
Thank you! NaNoWriMo is hard! I think I almost gave up that first year, but I did have a community and I didn’t want to be the first one out :p somehow, I made it through
