How I Smashed My NaNoWriMo Goals

What is NaNoWriMo? NaNoWriMo stands for National Novel Writing Month, which occurs in November each year. It’s a program designed for writers (or would-be writers or never-before writers or anyone who wants to give it a go) to aim and accomplish the goal of writing a novel in a month (or 50,000 words of it). By signing up, you can use the website to set milestones, record progress, and interact with other writers on the same journey.

Journal Entry #1 10 th January, 2019 Fortnight at a Glance The last two weeks have been very fulfilling. After a very long break, I am finally back to working on my current project. It has been almost two years without writing and not much reading. It’s not that I did nothing, it’s that I went from writing every day to writing something maybe once or twice a month. My project was in the final stages of editing and yet I couldn’t bring myself to work on it and I’d never felt less like a writer because I simply didn’t want to do it. I worried my passion had died. In the last two weeks, however, I got back to it. I’ve been writing/editing every day and, best of all, I am enjoying it again. I read so many blogs and articles about getting back after a hiatus, all with good advice, but I was so disheartened about writing that I couldn’t even summon the energy to do the steps to get back at it. Very similar to my reading habits. It took a bit of pushing on my end...
