Hit 50,000 words!

One thing I've learned through writing my book is you're going to hit a lot of walls. May that be from life getting in the way or create blocks that squash any potential for words to transfer onto paper, it's a bit of a trip.

I recently hit 50,000 words in my manuscript and it's been bittersweet. There is still so much story to tell and I feel myself hitting that wall of distain. Where I hate every word I've put to paper at this moment.

Then I remember this is the roughest of rough drafts. It isn't going to be perfect. It's going to have cringeworthy scenes and dialogue which may result in me wanting to fling myself off a cliff (hypothetically of course) but it's part of the journey.

I'm proud of making it this far. Soon I hope to begin the revision rounds which are so desperately needed.

I did it! My first #nanowrimo I’ve ever participated in. I really enjoyed the structure of this. It made daily word counts doable and I’d like to continue the habit soon. . . #authorsofinstagram #writersofinstagram #nanowrimo2022 #50kwords #selfpublishedauthor #writing #nanowrimowinner https://www.instagram.com/p/CljnXx8Pzpv/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

I FINALLY FINISHED READING TGCF AND HOOOO MY DIANXIA I AM GOING FERAL OVER THESE MARRIED IDIOTS FKSJDFLJHFKDGG

Daisy remembers dying. It's a red thing. A hurting thing. It lasts too long and too short, and she doesn't like it at all. The dying. Not the remembering. Remembering was merely a fact of life. Like sunshine. And soft grass to eat. And the rough-handed man.

I guess this is the first new fic of the year.

It's been so incredibly long since I've been posting stories to ao3 that I made it my goal to post 50kwords of oneshots and fic updates before the year is over. I'm hoping to double that number, honestly, but 50k is the minimum!

So I’m gonna hit 20k words for nano tonight 🔥🔥 holla 🔥🔥

02Dec2020 This has been quite the challenging month of completing the NANOWRIMO challenge. Thankfully I have had the community of both my mother and my students. We have pulled ourselves through writing this month despite our struggles facing the challenges presented by the pandemic. By hook or crook we pushed through a national crisis and still produced solid manuscripts. That says a lot about the dedication and determination of my students. While not all of them were able to successfully complete the challenge, over half of my students were able to complete at least the 50k word count. That is truly a testament. Now I will be perfectly honest. This current manuscript is a REALLY rough draft. It still needs a lot of work. It is completely unedited. But for the purposes of NANOWRIMO and what I taught my students is that in 30 days you need to have a solid rough draft with a complete story arc, which I was able to produce and so were they. Is it ready for a beta reader at this point? No. I am going to need to hard edit it several times before even a beta reader sees it. But I do have a solid rough draft with a complete story arc on a memoir. Backstory: Day 29 57,071 total words I am truly amazed I was able to complete NANOWRIMO this November 2020. Most of the month, I had to dictate in my manuscript speech-to-text because I cut then sprained my right hand. It has been an interesting challenge juggling different responsibilities during this pandemic, writing and pulling through a new and continuing group of NANOWRIMO writers. I am proud to say that during this pandemic, over half of my students were able to complete the 50k word challenge in 30 days despite the challenges in their lives because of the pandemic. I am so proud of them. #nanowrimo2020 #nanowrimo #memoir #poetry #creativenf #prose #cancer #survivor #unity #cultural #usa #california #socal #ie #riverside #50kwords #novel #30daychallenge #writersofinstagram #veterans #educatorsofinstagram #poetsofinstagram #international #uk #maryland #newzealand #london #sandiego #cameroon #southafrica @CelenaDiana @oceanmoonspirit @islands4writers @cancer_inform (at Riverside, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/CISqmzQg7Ev/?igshid=149xyentil1wx
