idk if you ever answered this but why/ how did you end up being a germany fan? as in why do you support a team that isn't your country's, especially since brazil isn't like... bad (i mean it depends on the occasion 👀) also this isn't supposed to sound judgemental hajsghs i'm just genuinely curious...

KLDJAKLS no its alright i get it!

WELL IT ALL STARTED WHEN I HAD NOTHING BETTER TO DO ON JUNE 13, 2010... i did not care about football at the time, never had, but the tv was on and it was germanys first match at the world cup. and as a good whore i fell in love with mesut during the fucking anthem. u know a very sexy moment. very sexy tune dlksjdslk no seriously i just saw him and i thought he was cute so i decided to watch the whole match just for him 😭 ive never been valid !! thank god mesut is a good player tho imagine how embarrassing that would have been !!!!!!!!

so germany won that match 🥰 but not the following one 🥰 so things were looking awful for us 🥰 i dont remember exactly the maths or how the table was looking, but it was a messy group, it came down to the last day to decide who was going to qualify and basically wE HAD TO WIN !! and we did bc of mesut 🥰🥰🥰 his goal literally qualified us like leons goal did at euro 2020 dlkasjdkl BOTH OF THEM ON THE SAME DAY !!! june 23 !!! CRAZY !!!1!!!!11! so what was i supposed to do? not stan the man? thats when i really fell in love

so i kept watching germanys matches in the wc and rooting for them like crazy and getting my heart broken in the semifinals.......... but we won 3rd place 🥰and i of course discovered the other gnt players lmao and kept being a mannschaftie since (not really bc i did retire when mesut did. but now i came back for whoreish reasons. yet again. ill never be free.) bUT TO BE HONEST i deserved a break bc if i did not watch a germany match from 2010-2018 its because i simply couldnt. i even stopped at a restaurant to watch the euro 2016 penalty shootout against italy yes it was a very public embarrassing moment for me. keep scrolling.

so brazils nt was never. even. an option i never cared about them 💀never had a reason to...

#love that u were the one asking the question cuz idk if anyone else will understand me being this crazy about mesut lkjKLJDLK #asks #ozilette anon

Nano Closing Thoughts: 2019 vs 2018

+ November 29 WC: 2,179 // November 30 WC: 5,562

WIP blog: @thesecondmoonwip // Previous nano updates: week one two three four

If you’re interested at all about the details of these graphs, I keep all my nano stats in this spreadsheet

Total WC: 2019: 50,198 (2018: 50,051)

Average daily WC: 2019: 1,673 (2018: 2,176 [avg not counting the obvious outlier of day 23: 1,880])

Average daily WC not counting days with WC of 0: 2019: 2,092 (2018: 2,275 [not counting day 23: 1,969])

Most words written in a day: 6,027 Nov 27 (2018: 8,700 Nov 23)

Least words written in a day not counting 0: 347 Nov 22 (1,000 Nov 16)

General Thoughts

Nano is really interesting because I think it’s a really fast way to learn things about yourself. When you set a goal, do you mean it? Are you good at making plans and schedules that work for you? And when you make a plan, do you stick to it? Do you procrastinate, are you always writing furiously right before bed or trying to write 15k on the last day? I’ve noticed that when I answer these questions, they don’t apply only to nano, but to writing and actually lots of things in my life.

You can tell by taking a quick peek at my graphs up above, but my nano this year was a little more chaotic than last year’s. Last year, I sat down and wrote the same amount every day, but this year I tried to be fancy and set different daily goals based on my work and school schedule. It... sort of worked. It worked really well the first week, but what ended up was I never got in the habit of doing it, and I ended up getting behind. At the start of the month, I was like, “oh, I know I couldn’t write 1,667 words every day, I’m too busy on Thursday, and I have so much more time on Wednesday” and etc, but by the end of the month? Writing 1,667 words seems really easy and I was cursing myself for not just sitting down and doing it every day.

I’m a better writer than I was last year. I’m better at writing itself, and I have more stamina, I can sit down and write faster and I can write for longer without getting tired. However, I’ve realized that nano isn’t really about that. Last year I went in after finishing my first book, and I was used to writing 400 words a night. I still walked out victorious, and it was because nano can be easy if you just sit down and write 1,667 words every night. That’s really not that many words when it comes down to it, and that’s the fun of it. Anyone can win nano (some people have really really busy lives and literally do not have the time to do it, but I’m not talking about that). It’s just about dedication.

Last year my takeaway was that you can write a lot more than you think you can if you set your mind to it. My takeaway this year is that the most important thing really is sitting down and writing every. single. day. That’s something I used to know, I used to hold it dear to my heart, but The Second Moon is my fifth book, and I think sometimes I get too caught up in trying to be cool and write a lot in one day and stuff like that and I forget about the basics.

What next?

Although I hit 50k, and I’m counting that as a win in terms of nano, the book actually is not finished. There are only 40 scenes in TSM, and some of them used to be two scenes but now they’re one long scene, or they’re important so they’re longer etc, but as a general rule, my scene comfort zone used to be about 1k, so that’s what I planned for. Most of the scenes in TSM are longer, though, so I hit 50k without actually finishing all the scenes. I’m not far off, I’ve only got one scene left, but I’m a little bummed, I didn’t really want this issue to run into December. I think if I can get it on my shelf before winter break starts (Dec 14) I’ll be alright with that, though.

Once I format it and design a cover, I’m going to use Amazon’s Kindle Direct Publishing to get my book printed. If you haven’t heard of it before, I’d highly recommend it, it’s super cool. I used it to print out all my books, and they all sit proudly on my shelf.

I know it’s bad practice to write a first draft and call it done, but I see nano as more of an exercise than anything. It would take an immense amount of time and effort to turn this draft into something I’m really proud of, and I’m honestly just not passionate about the project to do that.

I’ll be jumping back to my main project, Pseudonyms! I haven’t worked on it for a hot second and I am so excited to get back to it. I finished the first draft around six months ago (?), and it’s time for a complete rewrite! I have a lot of ideas, and I’ve grown as a writer a lot since then, and I’m really excited.

As for doing nano in the future, I’m unsure. Now that I’m done, it’s easy to look back and say, “hey, that was easy, and we got to get a book out of the WIP queue.” (because I have a lot of books I want to write, and when I can take a month and get one out of my head, that’s always great). However, I vividly remember a lot of times over the month where I told myself I would never do nano again. It’s difficult to say.

However, if I do end up doing nano again, I think I’ll set a higher goal for myself than 50k. Nano really lacked spice for me this year, I went into it feeling very complacent that I would hit 50k and I was rarely too stressed about it. Idk. I just feel like it’s not nano if you’re panicked for the whole month, + I don’t feel nearly as accomplished as I would if I had set a higher goal.

And that’s all I have to say on that! I hope everyone who participated in nano had a good month!
