NaNoWriMo START!

[sankseas]

Last year, I kinda unofficially?? did NaNoWriMo to get back in the habit of writing ( It worked!! ) This year, I'm doing it again - not joined the site since it's weirdly stressful for me, but! I'll be writing the whole month :')

[ Goal ] Write at least one scene in one project, every day!

[ Projects ] PROJECT BB ... REWRITE IV ... WELL-MET

Starting out strong, feeling So Pumped to Write!!!

Are you doing NaNoWriMo or have any projects you're working on?

NaNo Day 1 - Starting Strong!

[sankseas]

eheheheh I'm really really starting strong >:'D

I know there'll be days where it doesn't go this well, but that's fine. I'll run with whatever I've got & today!! was a very good writing day!!

I wrote: 3 scenes in WELL-MET, copy-pasted some already written scenes in place, & realized a better way to transition between two chapters!

NaNo Day 2 - All Progress is Good!

[sankseas]

Worked on BB & IV today, which I'd last left off in tough spots. Wrote out some ideas for the next scenes, but something's off. Still figuring out what needs tweaking ... Reminding myself it's all progress lol.

I wrote: 1 scene in PROJECT BB, 1 scene in REWRITE IV, & some very snappy dialogue >:3c

EDIT: Already figured out how to fix the BB scene & know how to open the next scene!

NaNo Day 3 - Last of the Daily Comments?

[sankseas]

Today was busy & I am so tired ... but that's why we make "at least" goals hehehe!

I wrote: 1 & 1/2 scenes in PROJECT BB, fixed that scene that wasn't working, & got an idea how to shake things up for it's up-coming scene!

On another note ... I didn't mean to make these progress comments daily X'D so, this will be the last. May make a progress post & add to that, instead.

I'm not doing NaNo (got scared off) BUT I'm going to try to blog/post something every day! Either here or at my site!

[sankseas]

Understandable :'D I tack on "unofficially" to make it less scary for me lol.

Good luck with posting!!

[tozka]

Thank you! I’ve done “post every day” marathons before, but usually I end up just doing nonsense posts by the end. This time I’m going to try writing substantial posts, or at least ones that inspire discussion or provide useful info. I think just getting back into the habit of writing a post regularly will help, and then maybe I can tackle NaNo next year.

[sankseas]

Nice!! That's a really cool goal :D Good luck, especially, towards the end - I know that monthly challenge burn out all too well. Here's hoping, we can make it!!

Yeah, last year's goal was just "write at least 1 sentence a day" & it actually made this year's goal doable.

Very nice! As you know, I'm also doing NaNo. ^^ I've done it for the last couple of years and I'm using it to (hopefully) add a chapter or two to some ongoing fanfics or finish drafting a few others. Most of them are for Vanitas no Carte with a dash of Dragon Age.

[sankseas]

*high fives* Yeah, each time I do NaNo, it's for multiple stories at once lol. Here's hoping we both knock a lot of stuff!!

ooooh super nice!!!! i know it's way past the first half of november but i wish you all the best!! hang in there!!!

i can imagine the official site being weirdly stressful. sometimes not having to commit to others participating in a daily event is a lot better.

how are you doing so far?

i still wanna commit to finishing ch1 by january but *looks at calendar and is shocked*

[sankseas]

Thanks!! Honestly, later in the month is when you need the encouragement X'D

Having to check in with others / measure against their word count ... is not always motivating lol.

I'm doing pretty well!! Only missed 3 days, so far, but I'm not stressing bc I needed those days off :')

Good luck with ch1!! GOSH I know your pain - keep flipping through my calendar like "??? There should be mORE PAGES, THOUGH?!"

[riocu]

THAT'S TRUE. marathons are exhausting once you make it through half. i hope you managed the last ten days!!!!

oh that's super great to hear! and yeah, taking days off for health is something i tried to do very consciously for inktober too.

thank you! hahaha, oh absolutely. it's so weird bc even now, today doesn't feel like the last day of november??? the second half of 2019 has been very weird for me personally... *squints*
