I made it! It was a rough month full of all kinds of obstacles IRL, a lot of stressors that really sapped my creative energy. There are plenty of days just getting my 1667 was a ~slog~ and those passages are likely absolute trash, but I still pushed through. It's been mentally exhausting and I wasn't sure I was going to make it at one point, but hey...

... I did it! \o/

sigh I was so proud of myself the other day for writing over 5K words in a day. I thought I’d finish my 50K words today.

Whew, finally hit 45K words. It was real touch-and-go there with my dismal daily word count mid-week, but I rallied and pulled through.

I definitely need to get back in the groove.

Any other #writers sabotaging themselves? I’ve been in a great #flow using the #Ulysses writing app. It does everything I want on all my devices. But I’m about to have to renew my subscription. I don’t like subscriptions for apps like this. So today, instead of #writing when I had a chance I started trying out new apps, so that I won’t have to pay. #nano2023 #nanowrimo #nanowrimo2023

I've had a few days this week where I managed 1 sprint, which was nowhere near enough to stay on par. Having said that, I'm still within the realms of recoverability!

Wish me luck, let's see where I get by day 15...

The worst part about doing NaNoWriMo is having a million ideas for OTHER pieces but having to work on THIS one.
