Nanowrimo is Officially Over!

So it is now officially December, and I am pleased to say that I did complete Nanowrimo 2015 by writing 51,234 words. YAY! Oh stop it you!


That being said, I still think I'm going to stick to my guns from my previous post. Writing isn't just about one month--it's about writing every single month. I plan on self publishing my first book in late February/Early March and a second somewhere around May. There may be a third book done by the time the year is over, but I don't want to put the cart before the horse.


In any case, congrats to everyone who participated in this year's Nanowrimo. Don't ever stop writing! It's simply the best.

Nanowrimo 2015

As I'm nearing the end of the second week of Nanowrimo, I'm met with a mounting sense of apprehension mingled with doubt. Can I finish 50,000 words this month? 

You would think that since I managed to finish my first book already that that would provide a way to move past the self-doubt, but it doesn't.

Here I sit at a little under 16k words. 5k of those don't count because I wrote them in June. So, that leaves me with just 11k and I'm almost feeling unequal to the task. To get it done evenly for the 30 days in November, a writer should write the recommended 1,667 words per day. That makes me 9,000 words behind! Sigh.

Wish me luck!
