November was a strange mix of fast and slow, creativity and drought, and work and play. It’s hard to believe it’s already over and we’re now in the last month of 2020.
Here’s how my month went and how much I accomplished:
November Results:
NaNoWriMo
NaNoWriMo 2020 went great as far as the straight challenge goes. I did reach 50K and “won”, but I did not reach my personal goal of 60K (or 2K/day). I did get nearly 75% through the plot though, so I’m taking it as a win.
Finish Several Open Projects
Not much progress was made on any other projects besides my NaNo project this year, but I planned for this goal to work through December too.
Read One Book
I actually did this one! I read The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue by V.E. Schwab and I absolutely loved it. Reading books has always been a favorite activity of mine, but I have never seemed to have enough time. It was really great being able to return to it.
Word Total: 54,182
December Goals:
Finish My NaNoWriMo 2020 Project
As I said, I got a good portion through the plot during November, and I would really like to finish it before the end of 2020.
Finish Several Open Projects
I have several novels and short stories to get through by the end of the calendar year, so I can start fresh once 2020 is over. I’m hoping I’ll make decent progress in these pieces (Ghost House Heart, Fan fiction part 3, and a few miscellaneous others) during the month of November and into December.
Read One Book
I’m hoping to get some time away from writing and refill the tank and read something new. I’m working through something nonfiction for the first time in a while, so we’ll have to see how that goes.
Personal Growth
The month of November has shown me I need to make some changes and do some growing and changing if I want to have the life I strive for. I’m not entirely sure yet what personal growth will include, but stay tuned!
November was really productive and I hope the streak continues in December!
