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 15

Words Written: 1,851

Total Word Count: 22,273

Goal: 50,000


Easily hit my daily goal today but I’m still behind on the total. I had some trouble focusing on the work today even though I am getting excited about upcoming parts that I’m writing. I think it’s just fatigue. Hopefully I’ll write more tomorrow and hopefully I’ll have more to say here.

Until tomorrow,

-Mackenzie
