wednesday november 30th
I have to write 6,800 words today. Compared to last year this isn't such a big deal, so I think I've got this!
11:00 am - Okay, I did the things I had to get out of the way to start writing. Let's go!
1:00 pm - I just participated in a 1k30min challenge in the NaNoWordSprints twitter, and I got 951 words! I was so close to getting the 1k, but still this is good!
1:21 pm - Total word count is currently 45,016. I'm going to go eat something, clean up a bit, and then come back.
3:52 pm - After an unexpected run to the post office, I'm back and writing.
5:53 pm - I have 3,968 words left to write, and about 6 hours. There's a 1k30min coming up at 5:55, hopefully I can get close to 1,000 more words.
7:36 pm - Only 3,000 words left!
9:36 pm - Just finished another sprint, and I'm up to 48,582 words right now. I'm getting there!
10:32 pm - Had some pizza and got up to 49,063. Ahhh!!! I'm so close!! I'm gonna go put on my winner shirt that I pre-ordered and at one point thought I would have to throw out.
11:17 pm - I did it. I actually did it. I won NaNoWriMo for the second time with 50,061 words written total.
words written: 6,861
total words written: 50,061


summary // november 2016
This month was insane to say the least. I knew I was setting myself up for a challenge attempting to take on NaNoWriMo once again. This was my third year attempting it and I thought maybe last year's win was a fluke, so I needed to prove it to myself that I could do it especially a year where I had an idea for a story that I loved. I hit a point where I honestly thought that there was no way I was going to make it. That time during the election and the week and that follow were really tough for me. I didn't feel like writing anything, and when I did I was just pushing myself to write anything for the sake of writing.
Then I hit a point around Thanksgiving where I was stressing myself out in more ways than one. Work was killing me. The aftermath of the election was constant. The holiday/gift buying stress was beginning. And then ultimately the panic of whether or not I  could catch up with the word count.
Overall I'm glad I did it. It pushed me in more ways than one and I proved it to myself which is the most important part of it all. I also now have a base of as story that I can continue to work with.

nanowrimo 2016 | week four | freaking out

tuesday november 22nd
I got some coffee with my sister after a long day of work that went on even longer than it should have. I was so tired that all I wanted to do was take a shower and sleep until November was over, but I had to get to writing.
words written: 1,054
word count: 31,060

wednesday november 23rd
I had to work today, but it was only a half day and even then I couldn't write that much more than yesterday when I actually had like the craziest work day ever.
words written: 1,514
word count: 32,574

thursday november 24th

Happy Thanksgiving! And now onto the sad part...
I think the stress of falling behind has finally hit me, and I'm sorting of freaking out. I thought I would be able to catch up, but I just keep hitting these slumps. It's weird because there are days where I feel like writing 2,000 words is so easy and then there are other days where I'm struggling to get like 100 words out. Also saw Fantastic Beasts today.
words written: 1,306

word count: 33,880

friday november 25th
I really had nothing planned for today, but somehow ended up with almost no time to do anything. I thought I wasn't going to do the whole Black Friday mall shopping thing and then I found myself at the mall for like three or four hours. Worst. Idea. Ever.
Also Gilmore Girls: A Year In The Life came out today and that just destroyed my writing time. Do I regret it? Not right now.

words written: 646
word count: 34,526

saturday november 26th
Okay, so a little recap of the past few days. I was exhausted. Big time. Physically and mentally. Which you can probably tell by the amount of words I got done yesterday. It was painful. This month has been one of the craziest, most exhausting (can't think of another word) ones of my life. I can't wait for December. I could really use some holiday cheer right about now.
Now onto what happened today:
Today I was actually a lot busier than I have been, but somehow managed to get out words. I think that was partially due to the fact that I went to a cafe with my sister and we hung out there for about an hour. That kind of got the story flowing, and made it easier to just keep writing.
words written: 2,334
word count: 36,860

sunday november 27th
I stayed up past midnight on Saturday and kept going with the "flow" I was feeling and wrote another 1,000 words by 1:00 am.
words written: 3,337
word count: 40,197

monday november 28th
At this point I'm just pushing myself to write. There's moments where I remember why I love my story, and that helps motivate me to keep on writing. But then I look at how much time I have left, and I start freaking out. Again.

nanowrimo 2016 | week three | things are looking up

tuesday november 15th

Today was the halfway point of NaNoWriMo and as we all can see by my word count and its progression, I am nowhere near the halfway point. I'm going to go and try to write now without feeling like I'm drowning. k bye.

words written: 1,070
word count: 17,158

wednesday november 16th

I attempted a new approach today and did some writing by hand. I've noticed I'm able to concentrate more on just the content when I write by hand. The only thing is my hand cramps up and then I have to either count the words or type them up after to add them onto my word document. Also, I feel like I could have gotten more words in since I didn't work today, but I mismanaged my time and here we are.

words written: 1,851
word count: 19,009

thursday november 17th

I did some more hand writing. I didn't get much words in. Ugh! I'm digging myself into a deeper hole.

words written: 921
word count: 19,930

friday november 18th

12:24 pm - Well, hello. We're back with the time stamps today. I've been trying some of the NaNoWriMo twitter word sprints which have been helping a ton. Don't underestimate the power of word sprints! I've written 1,186 words alone on just sprints. I don't have to work today which will give me more time to try to crank out words.
9:45 pm - I wrote about 1,000 more words in the past hour or so. I'm going to try to get 1,000 more for today.
I'm slowly, but surely catching up. Thanks to the word sprints!

saturday november 19th
I ended up having a busy day, and didn't get time to sit down and right until around 7ish.
words written: 2,411
word count: 25,433

sunday november 20th
I had planned to spend a large chunk of time writing today, but I ended doing some stuff with my family and just ran out of time. I at least got the minimum word count in for the day. I sort of calculated what I have to do to catch up and figured out that I have to write 3,000 words each day for the next three days if I want to catch up before the 30th. I don't know if that's going to happen because tomorrow I have a crazy work day. Tuesday is another crazy work day and then I was planning on going to see Fantastic Beasts that day as well. So, I don't know how this is going to go, but I'm going to try so hard to win.

monday november 21st
It doesn't seem like it, but I really struggled to get the words down today. I did a lot skipping around, but at least I hit the 30k mark!

nanowrimo 2016 | week two | not much to update on.

tuesday november 8th
I wrote nothing.
words written: 0
word count: 10,463

wednesday november 9th

So yesterday I didn't write a single word. It was election day in the United States, and it was stressful and crazy and I couldn't find the energy or the motivation to write anything for my story. This morning I woke up and found out the news and feel so drained and sad. It's been a long day and I've been torn on whether or not to push myself to write today.
words written: 322

I finally got around to writing today. Not as much as I wanted, but after having a few very rough days I'm glad to be getting back into the swing of things.
words written: 1,480
word count: 12,265

saturday november 12th
It's getting easier to want to write, but I feel like this weekend is a bit busy for me that I might not be able to catch up just yet. I'm really trying to push through and write as much as I can everyday.
words written: 980
word count: 13,245

sunday november 13th
I still haven't caught up.
words written: 1,405
word count: 14,650

monday november 14th
words written: 1,438
word count: 16,088

I'm going to try to update better this coming week. We're at the halfway point and I'm just using all my energy to try to catch up that I'm forgetting to update. Election day and the day after really screwed me up and from the looks of it, for a lot of other people in the United States that had the same feelings regarding the results. Here's hoping that this coming week is a hell of a lot better.

NaNoWriMo 2016 | Week One Updates

Tuesday November 1st
12:15 am - Here we go. I'm going to try to write something, but I don't want to stay up too late because I'm waking up early tomorrow to try to get words in before work.
9:00 pm - I overslept this morning and didn't end up writing anything before work.
11:54 pm - I'm trying to write as much as I can right now. My computer kept freezing, and after some googling I found out that it's one of the extensions on the chrome browser. Back to writing for the last few minutes of day one!
WORDS TODAY = 1,507
TOTAL WORD COUNT = 1,507


Wednesday November 2nd
3:55 pm - I'm just starting to write right now. I had the day off today, but I woke up late and had to do some stuff before I could sit down and write.
7:01 pm - I forgot to update earlier, but I wrote for about 45 minutes and got about 300 words. I went to Starbucks, and got some coffe and am getting back to writing now.
9:18 pm - For chunks of time I sort of find my groove and write a slew of words. Then at some point I hit a wall. Also I was watching NaNoWriMo vlogs, and I can't remember which one it was, but when I have time I'll look for it and add it, and she mentioned something about changing the color of the text to represent something you want to edit later on. So for me I've done red text for stuff that I possibly want to cut out, purple for stuff that I need to move around, and blue for stuff that I need to expand on.
11:31 pm - I'm going to stop writing now. I'm at 3,405 words total which means I met the word goal for today. I don't know how tomorrow is going to turn out. I have to work until pretty late, but I have nothing planned for the evening which hopefully means I can crank out 1,667 words.
WORDS TODAY = 1,898
TOTAL WORD COUNT = 3,405


Thursday November 3rd
9:34 pm - I am just getting time to write, right now.
WORDS TODAY = 1,417
TOTAL WORD COUNT = 4,822


Friday November 4th
9:03 pm - I forgot to update the rest of yesterday and this morning, but I wrote around 700 words this morning. I did a couple of the NaNoWriMo hosted word sprints which helped me get about 400 words. I've also been updating my outline and bullet journal as I go. My outline slightly changed since yesterday, and I hadn't written it out so I lost my way for a bit, but I've re-outlined some parts and I think I'm back on track.
10:10 pm - My current word total is 6,703 and I want to see if I can get a few hundred more to reach the 7,000 mark.
11:02 pm - I'm going to stop now. I wrote a little more than I had to just in case, but I haven't watched an episode of Gilmore Girls in four days so I'm going to do that now.
WORDS TODAY = 2,179
TOTAL WORD COUNT = 7,001

Saturday November 5th
Bad writing day.

WORDS TODAY = 708

TOTAL WORD COUNT = 7,709

Sunday November 6th
I had sort of the same writing day as yesterday. I haven't hit a wall within the story, it's just one of those days where I felt like I was pulling the words out. I didn't feel like writing and I was forcing myself to just get the words on the page.
WORDS TODAY = 934
TOTAL WORD COUNT = 8,643

Monday November 7th
12:46 am - I have a super busy day today, so I'm trying to ride the momentum of what I was writing right before midnight. I've already written half of what I wrote yesterday in 45 minutes. I really hope I don't fall behind. I'm going to try to catch up while the word count difference isn't that big.
8:45 pm - I've been writing for a little bit. I worked until 6 today, and then I came home ate dinner. It took me a minute to settle down and start writing, but I've been writing at steady pace, hoping to keep this going.
11:24 pm - I hit 10,000 words! Finally. That was yesterday's goal, and since there's only 36 minutes left in the day, I highly doubt I'm going to reach today's word goal of 11,666.
WORDS TODAY = 1,820
TOTAL WORD COUNT = 10,463

NaNoWriMo Survival Kit

As soon as Preptober began I was on YouTube looking for any and all NaNoWriMo related videos including survival guides. Everyone preps for NaNoWriMo differently, so I thought I would share my own survival kit and tips.

Notebook

I have a problem with buying more notebooks than I actually need, especially since I'm not in school anymore. Most people probably use their phones for taking notes and write in their laptops which I use too, but writing in a notebook helps in a different way. You can write down and cross out things that you don't like anymore. Scribble notes here and there. It's a different way of working that really helps work out ideas.

Bullet Journal

I'm listing this separately from the notebook, because it's slightly different. You start out with some sort of notebook, but the way that it's set up is a little more organized than just scribbling random thoughts onto a page. I don't have mine set up as nicely as some other ones I've seen. Right now all I have are a few lists of things that I need to get ready before NaNoWriMo, a progress tracker, and a calendar. If I can get myself together before Tuesday, I'll hopefully have a list of my characters, character descriptions, and important plot points.

Pens/Markers

I feel like I'm kind of a newbie in this department, but I bought a pack of thin Sharpie markers in every color that I'll need and hopefully that's a start. I've been using this pen that my sister gave me, the 0.5 gel PaperMate InkJoy, and I love the way it writes. I want to get a few more that I've seen people using in their bullet journals like the Micron, and Staedtler pens.

Coffee/Tea/Water

Caffeinated drinks are a must during NaNoWriMo to get you through those long hours of staring at your computer screen. It's also important to remember to balance all that caffeine with a little hydration.

Snacks

I don't know exactly in which direction I'm taking this. The adult part of my brain says get mini carrot sticks, hummus, and other healthy stuff. Then there's the 5 year old in me that says get all the bag of chips, and cookies that you can find! I don't know. Maybe I'll a do a little bit of both.

Comfy Clothes
Pajama bottoms, cozy socks, and comfy sweaters are essential when writing 50,000 words in a month. I'm going to start pulling out all my comfortable clothes and keeping them upfront and center for November. This also means I'm going to have to make some time to do laundry.

Music/Playlists

This year I'm in the middle of making two playlists. I know some people don't like listening to music with lyrics when writing. I don't usually mind it, but I've been finding some good music that are both with lyrics and without, so I'm making two playlists so that I'll have one depending on my mood that day.

Pinterest
Sometimes I think I spend more time looking through pins than actually writing, but having a board dedicated to your novel can help during those moments when you're not feeling it. My pinterest board is fully of pictures that make me think of my characters and setting, and helps jolt the writing urge when I'm uninspired. It helps to have it ready and full of pins before November 1st, so you don't waste time looking through endless pins.

Candles

I hadn't thought about this previous NaNos, but a part of setting a great writing environment are candles. November is a great month to buy candles, because most stores still have all the fall scents and at the same time are bringing in a lot of the winter holiday scents. Those two seasons have some of the best scents in my opinion.

Laptop and Charger
This should be a given if you are going to be typing your NaNoWriMo novel (yes, there are people who write out their novels by hand). I had to order a new charger for my laptop, because I fried my last one and sometimes one of the best things to do during NaNo is to get out and go write at a coffee shop or even the library. You can't really write at a coffee shop if you don't have something portable that's charged.

I'm probably forgetting other things, but these are my top ten things that I need in order to get through November and write 50,000 words. If there's something that has worked for you during NaNoWriMo let me know. Good luck to everyone participating in NaNoWriMo this year!

The NaNoWriMo Tag

The NaNoWriMo tag was created by Kirstina Horner on YouTube!

1. How many times have you done NaNoWriMo?
I have done NaNoWriMo twice before, so this will be my third year participating.

2. How did you first find out about NaNoWriMo?

I heard about it through the BookTube community. I can't remember exactly which video it was, but I'm pretty sure it was one of Kat's videos (Katytastic). She seems to be one of the first people on BookTube or YouTube to make videos about it.

3. What was the name of the first novel you attempted with NaNo?
I never ended up giving it a name, because I never finished it. Sad.

4. Give a one sentence summary of what you're writing this year.
Early 1900's abandoned hotel discovered by a girl who wasn't supposed to find it.

5. What's the best writing advice you've ever been given?

I don't know what the best writing advice I've ever gotten is, but one good piece of advice I got from a professor one time was to try to step away from whatever it was we were writing for some time and then go back to it. Sometimes we get so caught up in the writing that it's good to take a break, and come back with a fresh perspective.

6. Did you ever take a year off from NaNo? Why?
No, but I did try Camp NaNo one time, and I haven't tried it again.

7. What's your biggest inspiration when figuring out what to write?

Listening to music. I used to do this thing when I was younger where I would listen to a song, close my eyes and visualize a music video for it. I guess you could say I kind of still do the same thing. Music videos sometimes have story arcs in them.

8. The first sentence from one of your novels.

"No one should be up at this time except for those people who need to be somewhere." I don't like it. This is from my NaNoWriMo story from last year, which is basically my only completed novel so I didn't have much of a choice. I've never gone back and revised it, so it's just stayed that way. 

 

9. Why do you love writing?
I love writing, because I get to create stories and characters of my own. I get to go to these places that I make up, and become other people who are completely different from me.

Are You Doing NaNoWriMo?

It's almost that time for NaNoWriMo again! If you don't know what NaNoWriMo is it's National Novel Writing Month where writers all over attempt to write a novel of a minimum of 50,000 words in the month of November. I know that sounds crazy and insane, and it's because it is. Of course it's not supposed to be a finished novel. I don't think there isn't a book out there that hasn't gone through revisions a bunch of times before becoming the final book that we come to read and love. The novel you end up writing is more like a REALLY rough draft of a potential book, but NaNo is a way to help stop the procrastinating and putting off that story we know we can rite, and helps get those words down onto the page.

This will be my third year participating in NaNoWriMo. The first year was a complete disaster. I had no idea what I was getting myself into especially because I was in school and working part time. I fell behind and that's one of the worst things you can possibly do during NaNo. Last year, my second year, I knew what to expect and how to plan my time. I also wasn't in school anymore and was able to win NaNoWriMo! I flew through the month of November by the seat of my pants. Sort of. There are two types of writers, pantsers and planners. Pantsers, don't plan their stories in advance and planners do. Last year, I was a pantser. I didn't plan or outline what I wanted to write about, I just went in with a general idea I had for a story and wrote whatever came to me everyday.

Although I liked doing that then, I don't think that's the approach I'm going to be taking this year. I've had this idea that has stuck with me for a while now, and I haven't gotten sick of it which is great. October is known as Preptober to those who like planning out their stories before November comes along. I have already started outlining, plotting, and detailing characters, but I am more nervous now than when I didn't have an outline. I think it's because I know the work that I'm going to have to put in whereas before I was kind of going in blind. Sort of like by not outlining I was in denial that it was actually happening, so I faced the fact that I had to write 50,000 words on November 1st.

Anyways, in preperation for NaNoWriMo I wanted to do a series of posts on how you can prep, and some of the things that you may need to survive NaNoWriMo. I'll be updating my progress throughout November, most likely I'll do the same type of posts as last year with the daily updates condensed into a weekly post, but who knows I might change my mind in a couple of weeks.

NaNoWriMo is National Novel Writing Month which takes place in the month of November. The goal is to write a total of 50,000 words by the end of the month. It isn't really about writing a complete and finished novel in a month, but more of a very very very rough draft.

Sunday November 29 and Monday November 30

Day Twenty Nine
I have to write 5,000 words today and 5,000 tomorrow in order to finish. I have to stop thinking so much and just write.
Words Written - 2,474
Total Words Written - 41,548


Day Thirty
Like previous days I wrote a lot of this right after midnight. I also had done some free writes through out the month by hand that I typed up and added which helped. Also, had some notes when I couldn't get to a computer and added those in.
Words Written - 8,514
Total Words Written - 50,062


WRAP UP
This was a crazy month. So much happened outside of NaNoWriMo that kept pulling me away which lead to me doubting myself. It's the first time I have ever attempted to write a complete story/novel. Although I don't have a complete novel I'm so glad I stuck through it and have 50,000 words to show for it. The story is far from done and I'm going to stick with it through revisions.
For now I'm going to take a little break from writing and get back to reading. As much fun as this was I've missed reading. It was hard to get reading in with all the writing going on. Now it's time to work on that Goodreads Challenge.

NaNoWriMo 2015 | Week 1

I kept going back and forth on whether or not I was going to participate this year in NaNoWriMo. If you don't know what NaNoWriMo is, it's National Novel Writing Month which takes place in the month of November. The goal is to write a total of 50,000 words by the end of the month. It isn't really about writing a complete and finished novel in a month, but more of a very very very rough draft.

I didn't do very well last year, and sort of gave up. I was in school then so it was a little hard balancing work, school, and attempting to write a novel in a month. I thought that this year I'd post weekly updates. I'll start it off a new post at the beginning of the week and then just update it everyday.


Sunday November 1 - Saturday November 7

Day One
I didn't write a single word.
