Day Twenty Three: 150k in a Month #NaNoWriMo #My150NaNo

I’m up to 115,160 fiction words for the month. That means another almost 35,000 words to go. Have I mentioned that I’ll be glad when May 1st rolls around?

I’ve learned a lot through this month and look forward to writing a post reflecting back.

A few tidbits for now:

• 3-4k is really my sweet spot for a day’s writing.
• Those last 2k are like pulling teeth if I haven’t properly prepared (ie: this whole book that I’m on!!)
• Taking breaks and having fun is important.
• Saying you’ve written a lot is far more glamorous than actually writing a lot! There are times the procrastination bug hits. (Hence watching things like this when I should be writing.)
• Exercise is important, even if it’s something as simple as walking through the neighborhood or playing tag with the kids.

That’s it for now. Onward!
