I decided not to participate in NaNoWriMo.
Writing 50,000 words in a month would be a tremendous success and a huge learning experience. It is a very important exercise to do one of these Novembers. But I decided that this was not the right November for me. Right now I’m focusing on building a business, creating writerly habits, and reading a lot. With the pressures of my day job weighing on me as well, I just felt like this would be too much.
I’m working, instead, toward my current goals:
- writing 2,000 words per week on my novel (I’m writing more in a typical week, but this minimum makes me feel as if my goals are achievable)
- pitching two articles per month
- keeping up with the schedules I have posted on both of my main blogs
I’d love to hear from people participating in NaNoWriMo. I think I will probably do it next November.
