Well done to everyone who participated. Even if you only wrote 1 new word for your WIP, it’s 1 more word than you started with!
I hit 50,000 words on the final day. This year my aim was to wrap up a few WIPs that needed finishing, and my self set challenge was not to move on from one project until it the draft was completed. Did I succeed with this? Partly, which I’m counting as a win. This is why: 5 WIPs completed, 4 had a sizeable amount of work done on them, and one of my novel WIPs has been restructured. Woohoo!
It feels good to get some of those unfinished projects finished. And now I’ve got finishing fever. That novel that has been restructured will be my focus project for December. And, that first draft should be finished by the end of the year. Fingers-crossed.
Along with my writing goal for December, I’m already thinking about what I want to focus on in 2022. I have a few ideas: there are some WIPs I want to finish, some sequels to stories already written are calling to me, as well as some books I’ve already outlined, and some new ideas too…If you haven’t guessed it by now, I want to write ALL the stories 🙂
If you participated in NaNo this year, how did you find it? Did you reach your goal? Has anyone else started thinking about writing plans for 2022 yet? Do you have any writing goals for December?
I kind of bailed on NaNoWriMo, though I did make a leap or two and was more productive than I would have been had I not signed on. It was worth it for the jumpstart and I will keep going with my project.
Congratulations on all your productivity!

Congratulations! I was going to do the WIPs like you did but the newest story took over. Now I still need to work on WIPs for December and 2022. I love NaNoWriMo for the inspiration and push. I’ve adopted it for all year in one way or another.

I agree – NaNoWriMo is great for inspiration. New stories do have a habit of taking over – which is why sometimes I have to put my foot down and not let them have a drop of attention until I’ve finished what I’m working on. Otherwise I would never finish anything 🙂

I haven’t figured out which foot to put down that doesn’t cause me to trip. 😅

Congratulations on hitting targets. And such prolific projects. Meanwhile, in this past month I have edited out some 7k words from my WIP and set a definite publication date (15th April 2022)

Congrats! Hitting that 50K is hard: I know. Never have made it, but it’s so fun working along side all of you who do. And I totally get the that urge to “write them all.” Kudos! Kisses! Hugs! Celebrate and rest.

I must admit, I find it much easier to hit 50,000 words on multiple projects than on a single one, at least in a short space of time. Thanks so much, L. K. 🙂
