Hello, writer friends! Well, it's happened again. I am not sure if I am sabotaging myself, or if it is just a pattern in my life that I have to accept... Nah, I don't have to accept it. Actually, I think I can still kick this thing in the butt.
Everything truly started going downhill on Day 10. Which was the day I had hoped to have 15,000 words in my project total. But things came up. I went to the movies, I had guests over. I visited with friends for dinner. I have also been taking care of 5 kittens. These are the things for which I allow exceptions during NaNo. And all of my TikTok buddies (oh my gosh, I have over 1,000 followers now!) agree with me that it is perfectly fine to take a break. This helps avoid burnout and loss of motivation.
Today is Day 16 and I keep giving myself the goal to write 5,000 words as a means to catch me up. I just need to be within range of the project goal for today and I will be happy.
This is all I have for now. I hope your NaNoWriMo is going well for you. If you are interested in daily NaNo updates and other bookish/writing clips, check out the links profile I have in the sidebar for my TikTok. You can also add me as a Buddy on the NaNoWriMo site and I will cheer you on.
