Everything I read about recovering from burnout is like “it takes months or even years to fully recover” and it’s like okay…. I have a weekend before I gotta clock in on Monday

me every day, beginning A Task: agony! despair! woe! every moment on this wretched earth is filled with suffering! death! death! death!

NaNo 2019 Update

So NaNoWriMo is over for another year!

November was ROUGH for me. I had two separate bugs that kept me in bed for 4+ days each, and due to some chronic illnesses, I felt generally unwell most of the month. On top of that, it was report card season (complete with parent-teacher interviews). And even when I’m not sick, those tiny humans I work with tire me out!! 

On that note, I didn’t write nearly as much as planned, but it’s okay. I went into NaNo expecting that I WOULDN’T hit 50k, and honestly, writing 50k wasn’t my goal. It was to write as much as possible while also maintaining the quality of my writing. 

I’ve completed several first drafts of novels by now, and I’ve done major revisions on projects. I know I CAN write a complete first draft now. I love NaNo, but I also know that when I do NaNo and SOLELY focus on wordcount (which is fun sometimes!) the quality of my work suffers. I was a rebel this year and continued working on an already existing project. 

I wrote just under 7000 words this month. 

But it’s December, and I’m continuing to write. That’s what matters. That’s a win.

might fuck around and read a 500 page physical published book in one sitting like it’s 2006 and I’m being bullied in middle school so I take refuge in the library and inhale books at a frightening speed that I have not been able to replicate since

That's because we cant even use them to recoup. We've gotta use them to do laundry and dishes and grocery shop and get the house cleaned up and carve out some time for friends and family who we haven't seen all week long because we've been at work. We don't get to recover. We just have a never ending list of stuff that needs doing
