The good and the bad of Nano is that it is a huge challenge and a big boost when you win, but a big downer when you don't. I feel that. I made a challenge for myself at Nano where I was only going to open my manuscript. If I did daily, I won. It was such a great thing for me, my productivity, and my confidence because just sitting down (to me) is the hard part. Big big hugs!
Me too! High five! ❤ it’s ok. It happens. I got five days in and realised that I wasn’t enjoying it as much as I thought I would. I reckon next time I’m going to set a three month goal and have a weekly word count to take the pressure off and to allow me to have those days where I can’t write for toffee, and other days where I can write for England!
Exactly! So true! High five 🙌🏻 we got this. We tried, right and sometimes realizing it’s not for us helps us set other goals and expectations so we CAN hit those goals 💜 setting a weekly word count goal sounds really good!
You're a Writer, you love writing, you are Going to write with or without nano. Once the bad outweighs the good you no longer need to feel bad about letting it go.
It’s so difficult to not take on too much. I hope you’re able to find a way to balance things, and you’re doing a fantastic job with everything! Thanks for sharing your experience ❤
Haha thank you! I feel like I get the organization comment often lol, not that I feel super organized all the time but it is nice to hear 🥰 somehow this year’s November in general got to a lot of us 😅
You did amazingly well, took me a long long time to get to the point of doing NaNo and even then writing is my day job so I have all the time. Therapist is right you're doing a whole lot and should be proud of yourself ❤
You're way ahead compared to zero! 🎉 but sorry you didn't hit the goals, keep moving forward 😊
Yes! Thank you! 💜💜💜

Thank you so much! Same hope for finding a good balance 🥰
NaNo is a really tough challenge, especially if you're working as well.x
It is 💜
NaNo is hard and it's better than not ever trying!
Exactly! Still an achievement for sure 🥰
Your organization is amazing! I'm jealous. I think a lot of us bombed on nano this year. But good on you for prioritizing your health!

Exactly! Thank you Joey! 💜 Sometimes I guess I just need a few people to tell me it is a lot before I realize it 😅🙈
I'm proud of you Hananya ❤
Thank you Phylicia! 💜
