Life is full of expectations and hope. I had wished that I would get 50K words this November, but life has gotten in the way. If I struggled against that goal, only getting 1100-1400 words a day, I would, by now, just give up. I know my psyche. I like my story. I think it holds some fun things that suddenly go with the last book, almost a part two but few of the same characters. They will possibly meet in the end, but I am not sure how. Still, the story itself overlaps. I don’t want to lose the story to the word goal. Does that make sense? So, as of today, I have a new goal of 35,000, giving me a daily goal of 730. It’s so much more doable. Especially when I need more world and character-building. I want a stronger story. This is how I will gain it. I am rarely at the words “the end” on November 30. I have been writing NaNo-way in that I like busting out 30-50k words in a month. It pushes on my creativity. I have done my best with a vague framework ready on the first of the month whenever I choose to do the writing.

Now I can spend unguilty time doing yarn things.

How I feel now, 🙂
