Whew! Seven days of consecutive writing! You might find this hard to believe, but I’ve never done this before in my writing life. I’ve always let something or another stop me from a daily writing practice. That’s why participating in this challenge has been so important to me. I really want to get in the habit of writing everyday, especially when I have a project in the works. While this is exhausting, I have never been more proud of myself. But even with the progress I’m making, I want to give full disclosure of my experiences, my triumphs and my trials.

Triumphs:

Writing everyday

Writing in my office

Scheduling virtual write-ins

Participating in in-person write-ins

Updating my progress on the NaNoWriMo site

Sharing my journey with others (great for accountability)

Searching for accountability buddies

Trials:

Making corrections to WIP

Rereading what I wrote the previous writing session

Forgetting to record my starting word count before I start writing

Constantly checking my word count

Making TikTok content during my writing sessions

Dipping back into my old previous WIP

What’s next? My second personal virtual write-in of the month. Join me if you’d like.
