I actually started editing the NaNo Empty today. There is more I need to write but going through bit by bit will help me see where parts of the untold story go.
Happy December!

Feeling accomplished and happy.
After all these years of NaNo writing, I finally have a line I like (It’ll probably need to be edited out)
“Still, they all felt that uneasiness that comes from paranoia brought about by valid fears.” All mine!
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.
Look what I got done today:
Who makes cakes when they need 4,000 words?
I do.
Okay. Time to write. Maybe someday I can play with this yarn!

My friend and I are both behind. We are finding zooming sprint sessions helps a lot. So we’re going to try one more this evening.
I’ll write a blurb as soon as I know where these characters lead me.
Tomorrow I have a doctor’s appointment, X-ray to see what could be causing my blood pressure issues. My friends have diagnosed POTS but we’ll see.
To make it worth our while, we plan on getting shopping done, and a battery bought, and dog hunt. I so miss Kali. I want another dog! So I guess that’s a couple requests for good thoughts and prayers.
