Final View

Week 4

And just like that, I’m behind.

I didn’t write for 3 days and now I’m hovering over 30k instead of over 40k…

but…

I persevere.

STRUGGLES AND SUCCESSES

I’m looking toward my next reward and using that as motivation to catch up this week.

Fortunately, I have some time off. I still don’t know if I’ll win this week, but I guess that’s part of the fun.

The not knowing.

I finally started dumping into my readable draft, which means it’s not so readable anymore, but I’ve resigned myself to the fact that I have to make a mess before I can clean it up.

REVELATIONS AND RESISTANCE

This week is the final push. Nano ends Saturday.

Are you still in it? Will you win it?

I’ll let you know next week, but I have hope.

Did you know I do creative coaching? I’m scheduling the new year so if you’ve got a project that needs help, please reach out. I’d love to work with you.

Let me know if this sounds like you:

  • You have “plenty” of time, but can’t seem to make progress on your novel/project.
  • You have a GREAT idea, but no concept of how to START.
  • You have a manuscript or part of one, but you have no idea what to do NEXT.
  • You have too many things to do, but you really want to write that great idea.

I’m here to help.

I help writers (and other creatives) find and devote time to their writing practice, make progress on their drafts, and keep a consistent writing routine so they can FINISH their work, whatever that means to them. I’m a superstar. You should really book now.

Until next time

Onward

Week 3

What’s up?

…my word count…

I think I’ve got the rhythm and am making progress

…all this is progress…

so forward march; onward.

STRUGGLES AND SUCCESSES

I feel like I don’t have anything new or interesting to add this week but the good news is that sometimes there is no news.

I still haven’t added many more words to my readable draft, but I am adding words every week and that is what matters. Even once a week is consistent, and consistent is good enough for me.

REVELATIONS AND RESISTANCE

I’ve had to choose, and I need the freewriting. As the name implies, it makes me feel good and I’m grumpy when I don’t do it. November has always been a freewriting month, and it feels right to keep the ritual.

So. I can make the readable draft the focus of another month (maybe next month?)

What kind of progress are you making? Have you made it to the halfway point?
