Trying to survive November with writing at least 50k words and hopefully this account will help.
Still looking for people who are also taking part. Maybe we can motivate each other? Or rant about our stories getting out of control?
What started as a writing exercise ten years ago is finally turning into a real book, one I'm now working on with my best friend. So excited, stressed and happy about it.

By the way... I finished the not Nanowrimo with 40k words, I wrote everyday in November and after November I still wanted to write more. Didn't need a break from being creative like I did in the last years. So not-Nanowrimo and doing at my own pace seems to be better.

I've just reached 6620 words in my personal quest to finish the Nanowrimo without the Nanowrimo. Gonna celebrate with a much-needed dog walk in the dark.

Is anyone else using this instead of the official Nanowrimo Page?
I am in need of some writing buddies. writingmonth.org

Just finished my writing for today. Still trying to get to 50k words. With or without Nanowrimo.
And now I will watch some shit on youtube because I deserve it.

Cancelled all plans because I wanted to write and now my motivation left the chat and is Not coming back.

It was 8.30 in the morning and we we were drinking our first beer.
But we are at the airport and on holidays. So different time, different space.

I ignored social media and the whole internet for a whole week because everything just felt bad.
I am here again. (still hating christmas time working in a bookshop. I really need a new job... People are so pretentious. Just read what you love and not what some critics command you to love)

When finishing Nanowrimo I can not write for weeks because I lost my words.
This morning when I went into the forest with my dog Orla I found my words again. And now I want to write a winter feelgood short story, that takes place in my fantasy-world. Which actually takes place in a desert. Well...

For #Caturday: a poignant photo by Paul Koudounaris of a beloved pet's grave. Despite popular belief, the cat's name was *not* Dewey (that was the family's surname).

"He was only a cat" but human enough to to be a great comfort in hours of loneliness and pain. 💔

Sooo.... This happened a few minutes ago.
Very happy and proud but the story is not finished yet. I need to write at least another 100k or something like that

I accidentally gave a character the name of a person I hate and now that I have noticed this outrageous mistake, I can´t unsee it and hate poor Matty with all my guts.

We are kind of lost in the woods but at least there is stuff like this:

I´ll write again tomorrow. Wrote 38000 words so far, so it shouldn´t be a problem to reach the nanowrimo goal, although I wasn´t able to do anything during the last 4 days because I felt like shit and had the worst headache in my entire life. I was in such a bad mood. Hated everything and everyone

There are people in the garden next to our house. Usually there aren't. Obviously this is a problem.

And my dreams are in point. I dreamt that my quails had babys and I lost them because they were so small that they could fit on my fingernails.

I really want some Baby quails. But normal sized would be better.

Got sick and did not write a word in the last two days. Didn't even think about it. Sleeping was more important and oh...how I slept. I am really good at sleeping. Should get paid for it, that's how good I am.

Wrote only 250 words yesterday, but I skyped with my bestie and we planned our trip to Prague and she also helped me to get unstuck in my nanowrimo story. So I hope I´ll be able to write more today.

Es ist schon sehr ironisch, dass ich jedes Mal googeln muss wie man das Wort beschreibt, bevor ich es benutze: in·tel·lek·tu·ell

Spricht jetzt halt nicht für mich. Ich bin die erste, die das zugibt.
November 12, 2023 at 9:57 PM
Only wrote 1294 words today but my word count is at 30k! Pretty excited.

Don´t know how that happened, but the soundtrack of my nanowrimo story is a random 1990s/2000 playlist on spotify. And I like it a little bit too much.

(Also: the story doesn´t take place in this era... it´s fantasy in a fantasy world. There is no Mmmbop)

I hate this emoji so much: 😉

My blood ist boiling right now because I just used it.
It should die a horrible death. It should be crushed, it should be quatered and gutted. Someone should stab in its stupid eye.

(I would love to know where my anger comes from, maybe I should sleep more.)
November 9, 2023 at 10:31 PM
Now I can go to sleep.
Yay! I am pretty happy about the way Nanowrimo is going for me this year.
November 8, 2023 at 10:57 PM
I am so tired. But I need and want to write a few words but I also need to sleep.
Living is hard.
Nanowrimo is hard.
And fun.
But hard.
