Participate in NANOWRIMO

I’ve reached half way and I am calling this done. I’m not going to get to 50,000 and that is more than fine because I have achieved what I set out to do with this writing project and I’ve reached the natural ending. I am very glad that I participated even if I didn’t finish because I have found a greater peace and catharsis through writing about things that have plagued me and held me back.

I am very happy. I am not a novelist. I never set out to right a novel and that is fine with me. Partaking got me writing and that was just what I needed.

So, at 16,115 now.

Had to put in some extra time to get to this, have been making sure I write more than the daily goal of 1667 in order to catch up eventually, I hope!

Still behind and closing the gap for sure.
I’ve got some excitement back about it too as I was starting to have a few doubts about my project…

So 20% of the way there but still quite behind :S

Enjoying the process, it’s really making me think about a lot of important things. Kind of like morning pages in a way but something more than that too.

<3

But I intend to spend this evening doing some serious catching up :D

My project is on memory & getting to know myself better through writing and wow, all sorts of things are coming up that are just reminding me so much of the essence of what/who I really am. It’s really great.

I’m well on target too :D

I’ve written 2189 words today :)

I’m writing about things very close to home & am using this as a healing experience which will maybe make it harder but I have made it so deliberately.

I’ve enjoyed day one. Been waiting a while to be able to start…

I officially signed up a couple of days ago & I am actually really impatient to get started so I am going to probably end up putting a lot into the planning process!

My writing is going to be semi-autobiographical & I have loads of ideas :)
