If you've done NaNoWriMo, chances are you'll have a first draft now and think it's rubbish.
Because all first gos are terrible, right?
I'm a pro editor, and I don't believe that ☺️
Here's why 👇

Okay, posting all the past several days as one giant post! We made it past 50k in 30 days! FUCK YOU NANOWRIMO I CAN WRITE 50K WITHOUT YOU!! #noaiwrimo #50kwritingchallenge #fictions
And just like that, I've written 50K in a month! This one was tough, since I didn't write for literally half the days (15), but I still pulled it off! This was my 10th year participating, and my 10th year winning. I have the rest of the book plotted, so I better get to it! #noaiwrimo #writingupdate
#NoAIWriMo
It took me all month, but I did it! I hit 50,000 (and 2) words! That's 32,948 this month, less than I was hoping for, but honestly more than I probably should. I'm gonna set smaller goals in the future, lol.
#NoAIWriMo
Just hit 45k words in my document (28k this month)! Getting close to the wire, but I have two more writing days left and only 5k more words to my goal!
#NoAIWriMo
Did another 2571 words today, for 40k total (22k in November)! Happy with my progress. I finished the ball chapter as well as the intro to sports.

When people ask me how I managed to write 9300 words yesterday, I show them this picture I took of my view. We’re having a big snowstorm 🥶
But also, yay! I wrote three spooky chapters in a row, and I hope to keep up the momentum today. I’m still behind, but catching up! 🖤✍️ #noaiwrimo
#NoAIWriMo
More writing the past couple days takes me to 17730 words this month, which means I've officially doubled the amount of words I started the month with! Also made chapter headings for the ones that were complete.
#NoAIWriMo
Did another 2302 words today. Up to 14.5k this month, 32.5k total. I'm thinking I gotta revise my goal to being 50k total if I'm gonna make it. It'll still be a push, but a manageable one.

Early morning writing sprints, trying to catch up on #noaiwrimo! My starting word count for today is 18346 😅 But I’ve won 9 years in a row and I can’t quit now!!! 🤓
Also I got this mug at the Lizzie Borden house last week 😂🖤🪓
Some ways I've tried to write each day this month for my WIP even when I've not had the time or inspiration:
-make a timeline
-lists of titles or character names
-background bio on a character
-jump ahead & draft the epilogue
-list of next 5 chapter goals
-list of fictional cafe names

We're finally getting into long-term plot! Also, everyone's favorite drama queen returns. #noaiwrimo #fiction
#NoAIWriMo
Made a lot of progress today, 3431 words, for a total of 12,155! If I can keep this pace up, I might actually hit my goal of 50k words by the 30th.
Today's scenes were: a major side character becoming a double agent, and a sports game.
#NoAIWriMo
Halfway through the month, and I'm only at 7282 words. Thankfully I decided to use a bunch of my PTO to give me the next two weeks off, so we'll see if i can make up for lost time.
Gonna post both days together because 14 was kinda a bust. Ended up deleting a good portion of what I wrote because it didn't work. Anyways, getting into the MAIN PLOT finally >:D

I wrote a few sentences before leaving. On the way home, I did a different kind of #writer activity. I stopped in town and left a copy of each of my #books at the charming af #LittleFreeLibrary which can be found on a bricked pathway between shops.

Today I wrote 1374 words which brings my #NoAIWriMo wordcount to 4102.
It was next to impossible for me to focus on comic flats today because of anxiety about Trump and the GOP. I am hoping tomorrow will be better and I'll be able to make progress on a page.
Working hard on your writing – especially this month?

This isn't even any of the stories I should be writing on btw.
This is pure uncut stress writing on a book I'm screaming into so I don't fuck up my other novels.
Today I wrote 1700 words bringing my #NoAIWriMo word count to 1996 total.
Today I wrote 296 words, so my total #NoAIWriMo wordcount is now 378.
This last week has been a pretty terrible month so far.
Gonna log off my workPC so I don't get a migraine from looking at social media again.
And here's tonight's words! Managed to make it through the first week without much trouble, despite my busy work schedule. #noaiwrimo
