Nov 30th word count: 134
TOTAL #novelnovember word count: 3,840

I didn't hit my goal of writing every day. But it's more than I've written creatively in a long time, and I grew as a writer. It's not a total win, but it's far from a loss!!! 💛💛💛

Good job, self!

Learning program translates Arabic text "أحب الكلام عن الكتابة" as "I like talking about writing."

Duolingo calling me out for slacking at NaNoWriMo.

"I like talking about writing" indeed.

Now it's time to actually do it.

A line chart showing my writing progress over the past weeks. Between November 8 and November 25, the word count has increased from about 5.6k to 12k, with alternating phases of slow and fast growth.

Slowly crawling through my #NovelEmber project... I highly doubt that I'll make it to the badge, but eh. At least I am making somewhat steady progress.

Now I just need to fight the urge to re-write and improve everything before I even finished the first draft. 😅

#writing 🖋️🦎

It's been sitting with me all night... I wrote a book. That's amazing 😀 Now I'm taking some time to recharge after #novnov #novelember before beginning the editing process in December.

So early mornings are now #crochet time! 🧶 I need to get this sweater done as well as another scarf for a present.

Night twenty-four: Down we go, into the depths of a lab built long ago. And into a confrontation that will ultimately shake a friendship and leave our girl without an easy ally by her side #NovelEmber
