    It's 4am on the 30th in Australia right now and I just hit my 50k, and as a bonus I finished my degree this month too! Good luck to everyone still going, you've got this 🥰🥰I had a lot of fun working on my stuff along with the vlogs this November

    38k and I am happy. Not going to push myself for the other 12k, I will do it somewhere in 2024. I did reward myself with the HB90 course and a massage, because I am worth it and so are you, whoever reads this.

    I just won, I just won, I just won! I didn't think I had it in me still but I had and I did it and I am sooo proud of myself - and I couldn't have done it without you and the Hearties. Thank you, thank you, thank you, Sarra!

    One of my favorite lines is from Anne of Green Gables: "Tomorrow is a new day, with no mistakes in it." It's okay to reach for goals and not always reach them. Sometimes it's the dream that matters most.

    This is the first year to attend to nanowrimo and it has been one of the most fun things I have done as an adult (a working mom of two kids). Thank you so much Sarra for your videos, they are a true inspiration for a fellow mom!
    I counted that for nano my realistic word count would be somewhere around 26 400 words (I write in Finnish and somewhere I read that in english there are 1,4 more times words in a similar text.)
    My story is now little bit over 26 600 words and I am so happy! Mostly I am proud that I wrote every day. So fun! And I will take a break for the whole month of December (I might not, if I feel the story calling me) and will start to edit it in January.

    Over the past couple of days, I realized that above and beyond the shenanigans that life threw at me this past month, fast-drafting isn't working for this story. It's a slow burn and quiet and I feel like it needs a more deliberate pace. Maybe that is only this project, or maybe this is my process changing as I approach half a century. Maybe next year I'll hit come back and draft 50K or maybe I'll have to figure out what kind of rebel I want to be.

  • @BrekkeEl
    @BrekkeEl 7 месяцев назад +7

    So proud of you Sarra! You’re doing great. My 4yo twins are both sleep regressing HARD. And a sinus infection has knocked me on my butt, so there was no way I could bounce back to “win” NaNo. But that’s okay! 30k toward my newest project is great and set me up to have momentum next month. ❤

    Can't wait for the notebook challenge next year. I kind of went a little crazy with black Friday and ordered a bunch of notebooks and journals. I am trying to figure out the best way to use the HB90 and a bullet journal (mostly for trackers/memories/etc rather than planning), but I know that your notebook channel videos are definitely going to help me stay consistent. :)

    Short notice, but this weekend is Dickens on the Strand in Galveston - several blocks of downtown are transformed into Victorian Londen. Lots of fun stuff - everyone is in Victorian costumes, there are parades, a bed race, street food, cool vendors, and there's usually a birds of prey show. Saturday is the best day to be there; I'm a volunteer on the Tallship Elissa and we'll be setting sails at the dock and showing off the ship. We might luck out and have a super foggy day, the weather is looking good for that right now. Moody Gardens also has a big holiday light display all month.

    Keep going! You can do it! I finished last night (28th) at 52,825 words. I really struggled through this month so to celebrate I took the family to Reno when I finished, which is such a fun city to Christmas shop in. Good luck! You got this!

    I understand what it’s like to not get all the writing you want in for a day. With kids, homework and working that takes up most of my day, this is almost every day for me. But, I’ve been trying to celebrate every win with an encouraging inside voice. Every chapter completed is that much closer to having these amazing books done!😊

    I hit my 40 task block goal, barely. My ultimate aim was 50 but that was a long shot. My reward was a new pair of Raycons. Due to my PCOS and migraines, I lost a week. I usually lose 2 to 7 days and of course this was the month for a 7 day migraine 🙄.

    When you said sometimes something doesn't get done...that's me today. I'm behind and am risking not finishing nano, but I had to take a mental health day today and really check in with myself. I talked with my hubby (after snapping at him this morning) and prepped beef stew for dinner (after barely cooking this month) and it just feels so good to be more normal instead of a crazy writer chained to a desk

    Wow, first there were 30 HB90 students, then 50, and now 100... and by December 10th, who knows? Congrats, Sarra! Can't wait to take control of my destiny and chase my dreams - I'm terrified but excited for what's to come :)
    The moon shots were beautiful; ask anyone who knows me, I'm obsessed with the moon; my best night is when it's shining into my bedroom and I can sleep under the moonlight. I even have my 5 year old nephew semi-obsessed always calling me to see the moon ^_^
    No surprise as we were both born on a Monday or as the Anglo-saxons called it "moon day". I finished the 26k needed for my short stories and wrote a little over 2k for my fantasy project (19k of my required 24k). I will write today and tomorrow and finish what I started :)

    I’m generally a fast writer (with no kids) so I’ve won nano every year I’ve done it in the past, but this year I actually released a book (my second) on Nov. 15th, so I let myself have a two week break after that and just started working on book 3. I’m cheering for you though and hope you hit your goal! I’d love to see a video where you set up your reading/watching journal. I’ve been thinking about having one for next year but not sure what I want in it or how to set it up. Thanks ❤

    I think you are doing awesome this year for Nanowrimo. I am deep in edits for my novel, so have been switching between developmental edits on it and two new stories so that I am excited to write every day. This year I am going for the writing everyday badge and the meeting goal everyday badge. I made the 50k a week ago, but am still going to earn those badges, lol. One more day and then I think I will take a day off and read to refill my well.

    Sarra, I hope that on Dec 1 or 2, while everything is still fresh on your mind, that you will take the time to do a detailed post mortem of all the commitments you took on in the month of November, how much time they actually took, and all the unforeseen demands that came up, and write a letter to your future self on how to better factor in contingency planning and margin next year, so you don't face a debilitating amount of stress at the end of November next year. Travel, taking care of the emerging needs of your kids and extended family, NaNoWriMo writing, and creating daily vlogs for your HB youtube channel seem like a full enough set of success goals for the month. Adding a last minute anthology project that is not part of NaNo, plus a podcast on the last day, seems like too much, and I hate that you are experiencing stress pain. Can you finish designing next year's planners in September? Can you say NO to taking on any extra projects that are not part of your November essential goals? Can you hold off on announcing a new release date until you have a solid, completed, draft ready? These all seem like easy changes that would support your productivity, add margin for inevitable emerging problems, and reduce your stress. I'm so glad you value yourself and recognize the importance of self-care, and I want the best for you. Best wishes!
