That’s it! 🤯
I’ve completed draft 1 of my 1st #SF novel #Volition 🚀
It’s been a goal since 2015 when I completed my Eng Lit degree.
I’m thinking, “Shoulda done this years ago!” but that’s irrelevant, as I’ve done it now 🥲
Still heaps of work ahead, but that’s tomorrow, today is for enjoying this. 🥳
Thanks everyone for the support! 😀

A bit over 2.5k words to go. Good chance I’ll get to 50k tomorrow.
My main concern is finishing off the narrative. I’m right there, at the end, 61 chapters, just now, and maybe I can wrap it up in another 5 or 6 chapters I think.
But I’m almost scared to finish. This month has been a personal phenomenon. I don’t want it to end.

I’ve finally caught up to my schedule. But that feels beside the point right now, as regardless of the schedule, I’ve got 4,818 words remaining to write in the next three days to successfully complete NaNoWriMo in 2023. 🫠
Not there yet, but a few weeks ago it seemed truly impossible. No celebrating yet, but soon- 🤭

Still cracking along. My writing is at the point now where while it’s a little hard to get going again, once I have started it’s not too hard to just keep going. I’ve never written like this for so long. It’s becoming very satisfying.
Tomorrow I will catch back up to and then exceed my projected word count again.
Onward and upward!

Today’s words mean that over the last four days I’ve written 10,179 words. This is easily the most productive I’ve ever been in such a short period.
The best thing is I’m loving the narrative right now. It’s flowing out. 😁 14k words to go and I can see it’s all coming together.
One week to go, everyone! KEEP IT UP!

Just a quick update today because it’s midnight and I’m buggered after working a full day, going to the gym this evening, and then writing 2,611 words 😁
Couldn’t be happier really. Still a good way to go, but I’m starting to believe I might make it.
Never stop chasing your goals!

Still trucking, and still in with a realistic shot of getting this over the line.
Had a slow weekend as I meandered down the long and boring narrative road, but some adjustments and two chapters rewritten and it’s firing once again. Tension building, excitement too.
Keep on writing everyone! Still a week to get your goals met! 😅
The hardest thing about #NaNoWriMo is the continual effort of invention.
Even if you know where the narrative starts and where it ends and the big events in between, many more small events are needed to fill 50k words.
It also needs to be engaging with a sense of building tension. This is where one’s craft comes in.
It’s an amazing experience, a humbling fire consuming old mental structures yet powering the creation of new ways of thinking.

What a roller coaster!
Mentally draining, when reaching a narrative point not knowing how to proceed. I’ve learned to take five, let it percolate and trust the way forward to come to mind.
Emotionally draining too, feels great when I pull ahead, stressed when I fall behind.
But still where I must be to succeed. 🥳
KEEP IT UP EVERYONE! 😁
