I'm hyperventilating, I had never come this far without stopping for a while. What kept me going? Four things:
—A story I love, with which I had been dreaming and working with since months ago.
—TK, or the method of not doing research while writing, which I heard of on the first day of NaNoWriMo thanks to Tumblr.
—Group sprints on the Discord channel of NaNoWriMo Argentina. I had never written in group, nor had I done sprints ever in my life. Turns out it's just what I need to get writing. All my NaNoWriMo words so far are from sprints.
—Writing Analytics, a writing software developed by @writingdotcoffee . I can't tell enough awesome things about this. It's saved me, and the editing lock... I didn't know I wrote so badly on the first draft until I used that feature. My text looks like a monster. But I can't delete words. This has added immensely to my wordcount, and I'm keeping up with the NaNoWriMo schedule for the first time in my life.
