NaNoWriMo is National Novel Writing Month and is held every November. It’s a challenge to write 50,000 words of a novel in thirty days (or 1,667 per day). Writers and wanna-be writers come together with a common goal to write novels, short stories, memoirs, whatever it is they’ve been putting off or need a push to get started. This year I decided I would document my daily writing practice as I strive to finish a draft of a novel I’ve been taking far too long on.
Day 12
Words Written: 149
Total Word Count: 17,450
Goal: 50,000
No question, the worst writing day this month. But… again, I’m away from home, was super busy all day with the family, and knew I wasn’t going to get a lot done. Still frustrating to see the progress bars but… I’m still writing and I have more than half of the month to make up for these days. So staying positive.
Until tomorrow,
-Mackenzie
