    How's it going everyone? The final few days! My next vlog will likely be my last of the month as I head to a hotel and aim for maybe another 5,000 words if possible and have some fun writing. I hope you've enjoyed these videos! If so, please give this one a like and let me know!

    Glad to hear you are excited about taking a hotel night to write more for the sheer joy of it and less for the word count. When I focus on the fact that writing fulfills me like nothing else, any purposeful attempt I make is worth the time I put into it.

    Nothing wrong with your focus, other things just make sense right now. I agree on the pov that putting pressure on yourself isn't going to help. I've barely got 14k but will have 50k in words by the end of the semester.

    As a mama of twin 2 year olds, I hear you on how family absolute comes before the writing. My toddlers have little colds and aren’t sleeping well. So, mama doesn’t get time for writing - that’s just the reality of being a parent and a creator!

    6:45 A completely unrelated comment: I used to do the same thing your boy is doing (sitting on the arm of the couch, fall back, get up, do it again)... but I had never seen another child do that. None of my cousins did it, neither did my brother. I know it's silly, but I feel so represented right now!

    Sleep is important. Glad you're taking care of yourself and spending time with your family rather than worrying about word count. I hated the teething time with my own girls. It was not a fun time.
    Congratulations on hitting 20K! That's an awesome word count.
    I have also been working on planning rather than writing the past few days. I am trying to come up with a plan for 2022 so that I can hit the ground running when the year starts. I can't wait to see the new HB90 planner.

    Your writing session at the hotel is going to be such a much needed reset for you. When you’re on the road with family there’s not a lot of time to yourself and y’all definitely have been rolling for awhile. Enjoy and may your words flow! ❤️

    You have great priorities. Glad Andrew is better. Sorry Evie is having rough teething.
    Watching this was my 45k reward. My words aren't a first draft probably a zero draft but I am proud of myself for what I have done.

    It's so lovely seeing your joy in reaching the 20k and feeling better about it because it feels right for you. I think it's easy to get under the millstone with Nano, and I get that that works well for some people but I am super not one of them and videos like this make me feel better about finding my own route forward.

  • @annelyle5474
    @annelyle5474 3 года назад +2

    Way to go! 20k is a great total, given how disrupted everything has been. I'm basically rewriting last year's NaNo, pulling in a few hundred words here and there from key scenes. That seems to be how it goes for me, particularly with the first in a series (as this is) - my first published novel contained about 5k from the NaNoWriMo version, with the other 135k completely rewritten from scratch!

    I hope she feels better and you get lots of words! Also I'm looking forward to HB90 but I don't need the whole 31 days to set it up so I (personally) wouldn't mind if it's a few days late.

    Never read the book the wheel of time but I am enjoying the series. Episode 4 was the best. I don't know why but I was expecting more in terms of what their powers are. But I guess that's what I get for not reading the book. Lol

      There are definitely a ton of changes from the books and the first episode was a shock in that but overall I am enjoying it! You just have to know going in that it's not really true to the books in the details.
