Stylistically, it‘s a mess but 1st drafts are messy. I‘m so close-just under 5k words to go. One more day off before I have to go back to work. Hopefully I can get it done tomorrow, or at least mostly done. #ivegotthis #nanowrimo

Early morning encouragement from my sister. 😂

julesG We all want a signed copy, please. Go tell her, or will she get a heart attack. 6y
CocoReads @julesG lol—I‘m the one with the panic attacks. I finished it on Monday and just gave her s copy last night. 😊 6y
julesG Sorry. Anyway. I'd like a signed copy. 6y
julesG And please don't get a heart attack now. 6y
CocoReads @julesG—that‘s ok. No danger of a heart attack. I‘d actually told her a few texts later that I was feeling pretty chill. I‘m just happy to have finished it, I‘ve never finished anything I‘ve started before. 😄 6y

It's a pick even though I'm not sure this system is for me. I'm not a huge pre-planner and prefer my characters to tell me what they're up to but I do find some planning to be helpful. I can see myself using some of these worksheets though and making my own system. I'm not sure I can write a book in a month but I'm planning on doing my first nanowrimo this year, and I think it was s good book for prepping.

LiteraryinLawrence Good for you!! 7y
CocoReads I'm excited and nervous. November is a busy time at work and with the family but if I never try, I can't succeed, right? 7y
beccaeve NaNoWriMo is awesome. I've done it a few times. If there are write-ins in your area, I really recommend trying to go (you can find them on NaNoWriMo.org). The community really helped me make it through. 7y

CocoReads Right? I'm usually bad at those what's wrong with this picture things and I saw it too! It looks pretty good. 7y
Karkar I know I am going to feel dumb after asking.... help me find the error 🤤 7y
CocoReads @Karkar it's the calendar--there's two Day 28s on it. 7y
Karkar @CocoReads I cannot believe I missed that hahahahahahaha 😂😂 7y
CocoReads Honestly it took me a minute 3 weeks ago when my sister bought the same book. But now neither of us can get it out of our heads! 7y
Megabooks @Karkar I missed it too! 7y
