I had aspirations for completing a new novel during NaNoWriMo but I forgot two essential things, I work full time and I have two children with complex needs. So, I decided to do something that works for me instead. I am writing, drafting, watching webinars, joining critique groups and many other ‘writerly’ things I usually wouldn’t manage to fit in on a daily basis. Including researching and entering competitions!
So far, it is going really well. I’ve written a number of PB texts, redrafted some, edited query letters, written the beginning of a new book idea, researched new ideas. These are all things I would aspire to do, but never get round to doing. As the days pass, my momentum is increasing!
I suppose my reason for posting this is that it doesn’t matter if you can’t keep up with huge word counts if you can make writing a part of your daily activities and make some positive changes for the better during NaNoWriMo month. I am hoping the next month half is just as productive and inspiring!
