trolley does nano days 16 (?) to 29 - IT’S DONE!!!!!!
i have continuously forgotten to update here because work has been frantic and writing around a full-time job + a bunch of other crap has left me with zero brain power for other things however!!! 50,000 words have been written!!!!!!!
i got behind from the 20th due to real life nonsense plus general nano burnout, and i’ve kept writing consistently but stayed behind the goal every day until today! i finished yesterday on 45,775 but was determined to finish today - i set myself a tall order but i had no plans and thankfully my motivation stayed with me to churn out over 4k and finish NaNo 2020 with a whole day to spare!!
you can see the unevenness of my graph, but i’m just phenomenally excited that i actually managed to hit the goal 😭 earlier this week it was looking like i’d be close but just miss out and although that’s obviously still way more words than i would have had otherwise, i wanted to get that winner badge!! finishing today also means i have monday to thursday free to prep for the job interview i have on friday, so that’s another stress off my mind in knowing that i won’t have to worry about writing tomorrow 🙏
i was continuing work on an existing project so technically bending the rules of nano, but i only counted new words in november towards my nano count. my total word count is sitting at 147.5k, and the november spike on my graph is just extremely satisfying. i’ve completed three full chapters and two half chapters this month, meaning i’m (checks notes) almost three quarters through the whole thing! there’s still a good 50-60k to write if my predicted total stays accurate, but my plan for december is to give myself a break, get this job interview out of the way, and do some work on my planning spreadsheet so that i can move forward into ‘act three’ of the story (which starts at the end of my current chapter) knowing a bit more detail about what i need to be writing!
alrighty i’m gonna stop going on about this now but thank you for putting up with me!!! i did the thingggggggg!!!
