NaNoWriMo 2018 Wrap-Up
With a bit of delay it's finally here, my last video in my NaNoWriMo 2018 series. It's been quite the ride and it took me quite a bit of time to pour over everything I learned this past November, let alone put it into words both in this video and on my blog.
As it was a bit to much for me to put it all in this video, you can read the full review of my NaNoWriMo 2018 and my plans for the future on the companion blog post at innerdarlings.com/nanowrimo2018wrapup/
I would like to thank you again for following me on this first step of my journey as a writer.
How did you experience my journey? Let me know in the comment section below.

NaNoWriMo Day 28, 29 & 30 - The finish line
Просмотров 116 лет назад
This last stretch didn’t exactly go the way I wanted and this Vlog isn’t exactly long. But I made it. 50.258 words in total and I’m a NaNoWriMo winner! Hooray!!! I’ve learned so much and am looking forward to what is yet to come. It has been such a great ride and I’m so grateful for those who supported me. To properly head for the next phase in my writer’s path I will first be analysing the dat...
NaNoWriMo Day 27 - A bit of sadness
Просмотров 166 лет назад
The end is so close by and I was so looking forward to crossing the finish line. I had foolishly set my hopes on finishing today but when you’re ill, you have to rest. Illnesses are there to show you that something about yourself needs your attention. So I took the day off and recuperated and hooray, I wrote again today, over 1.900 words! Oh well, I still have time and I’m still as committed. I...
NaNoWriMo Day 26 - Ill in bed
Просмотров 56 лет назад
This day turned out a dud, word count zero. It couldn’t be helped. All three of us contracted a stomach flu but luckily the icky parts cleared over the day. That being said, we were very tired and aching all over, sore joints and such. Most of all, I couldn’t keep my head up in any position, no walking, no sitting. I laid down for most of the day except any moment involving the maintenance of m...
NaNoWriMo Day 25 - Meant to be
Просмотров 26 лет назад
I’ve always wanted to be a writer, since childhood, but does that make me a writer? I refer to myself as one, or as a wannabe-writer, but could I consider myself more of a storyteller? I have said many times that ‘if I could draw’ I would. But my talent lays in words and sentences. If I really, really, really wanted to draw, I could apply myself and learn. Yet it would not be fun road for me. M...
NaNoWriMo Day 24 - Pushing the story
Просмотров 46 лет назад
Today I really felt a drive to get further in my story. It was so strong that I thought about skipping scenes, which would have been pointless. But there’s a drive in me to complete this story so that I can share it with others. I desire to share my stories which, on one hand, gives me the motivation to write, but, on the other, makes me impatient. Of course there’s no point in pushing the stor...
NaNoWriMo Day 23 - Character's POV
Просмотров 36 лет назад
My greatest strength is visualisation. I can truly experience my stories, be in the rooms they are at and even at times feel what they are going through. But I’m still me, with all my knowledge. So I stumbled across a two-fold conundrum today: one, my wish to give a detailed description of the surroundings; and two, my lack of knowledge about that. I didn’t know the words or the specifics of wh...
NaNoWriMo Day 22 - I love magic
Просмотров 16 лет назад
My love for magic is what draws me to fantasy. It’s my raison-d’être, the thing that attracts me the most. But not fleshing out the magical system up front had led to me discovering new bits and pieces about it as the story progresses, but also to parts where I get too into explaining the nitty-gritty of it all. And that’s something that interferes with the flow of reading or the pacing of it a...
NaNoWriMo Day 21 - Life gets real
Просмотров 36 лет назад
At the start of the day I got some sad news which distracted me for the rest of the day. Happily, I did write and went over my day goal, got 2391 words in total. Writing did distract me for a while and it even gave some clarity. But that’s all it did. Reality came straight back with all emotions attached to it and I found myself at a loss for most of the day. I did make a decision and acted upo...
NaNoWriMo Day 20 - A slow start
Просмотров 26 лет назад
About a 100 words away from my day goal! That’s not a good thing but it doesn’t feel really bad either. It’s hard to know how to feel about this. I had a slow start in writing but I finished my scene and did not feel up for starting a new one. Somehow it feels like this was just about what I had in me today. So, I am disappointed for not getting my day goal, yet I feel satisfied. It’s just a we...
NaNoWriMo Day 19 - Back in the saddle
Просмотров 36 лет назад
After a lousy weekend, or much needed rest, I surprised myself by actually managing to write more than 1.900 words in a little over an hour. Although the fear that I was going to be stuck in a rut was there, I chose to focus on believing in myself. I really wanted to get back into the rhythm I had created before this weekend’s fallout and I did. But as always, without good support I couldn’t ha...
NaNoWriMo Day 18 - Zero
Просмотров 46 лет назад
It’s not working out for me this weekend. No matter how I tried, or my husband, I just couldn’t get myself to write. Being exhausted from constantly pushing myself forward, being a mother, and not knowing how I wanted to direct my story all coalesced into a big, fat zero as a word count. Of course I’m upset with myself. This isn’t good, and definitely not part of the plan. But it’s obvious I ne...
NaNoWriMo Day 17 - Too much force
Просмотров 26 лет назад
Writing really didn’t work for me today. The scene didn’t want to flow and all kinds of doubts kept creeping up on me. Thoughts like: is this scene worth it? Or why am I writing this? kept replaying over and over. At some point I realised that I had to push myself forward with every single sentence, all the while something inside me felt like it was going to crack. As I noticed that half an hou...
NaNoWriMo Day 16 - Pantsing or plan
Просмотров 116 лет назад
It was a slow day today, which was reflected in my writing. If it wasn’t for my husband I probably wouldn’t have written. My one-year old’s teething isn’t exactly a walk in the park with some moments where there’s absolutely nothing we can do. Luckily for me, my hubby persevered, took our son for a walk and told me to write. So I did. Getting into the scene took it’s time but once more I learne...
NaNoWriMo Day 15 - Scene Pacing
Просмотров 86 лет назад
Today’s writing was a bit tricky. I kept forgetting about half of my scene, better said background actions that had to be acknowledged. Thusly it ended up being peppered in between. This means that the pacing of my entire scene is off, and I’m not happy about it. Still I managed to write over 1.800 words in an hour again and I’m really hoping to keep that up. Wish me luck! Are you sometimes str...

NaNoWriMo Day 9 - Whose point of view matters?
Congratulations! 50000 words is an amazing accomplishment, and I have enjoyed following your journey for the last couple of weeks. I am looking forward to eventually reading your final product!
oh wow! what a great progress you're making! keep it up! I'm also in the last stretch! I just posted by update. I'd love to hear what you think of it if you have time to watch it!
just found your channel! awesome first video! keep it up!
The flu sucks! I am glad to hear you are feeling better. Will we eventually get a chance to read what you have been working so hard on?
I listened to this whole video, and I admire your persistence!
Sorry to hear about your accident! Wishing you the best. Subscribing.
Super cool, it sounds like today went pretty well! 😊 My characters are always nameless or have generic placeholder names until much later in the writing process. Sometimes, I'll have a block that happens, so I'll push all the writing aside and have a naming day. Its where I give all the characters their names based on what I know about them. After that happens, I feel more connected to them & so much more is revealed about them. It just works for me. Best of luck, yes, writing can be for you because it's something you love. 💕 Stick with it!😊
Yay!! Welcome to Nanowrimo, you can reach your goal. You can do it, just chip away each day. I found your channel from the Nano thread. Best of luck & remember to have fun. 💕 Tomorrow? Will you upload daily clips? O.O Well, I'll see you tomorrow!
Thank you for the encouraging words. I am doing daily updates to keep myself accountable and hopefully inspire others to keep going themselves. Best of luck to you too!
