Trying to track my NaNoWriMo efforts here!
Just kidding, what the heck happened to you, NaNo??
Just kidding, what the heck happened to you, NaNo??
2025 hasn't been great for writing. We started the year sick (whole family) and kept trading the sickness around for months.
Then suddenly we were prepping our house to move, and then trying to find the right house.
Then the right house's basement flooded.
So anyway, here's my new office. Soon?

A month and two days into the new year, and my current 2025 word count: 0.
Really crushing it.
Sigh.

My television pitch was loved by two production companies! They asked me to email more content!
Now, I wait to hear back, if we're going forward. Probably into the new year. The suspense may kill me. 💀
Overall, it was an amazing event though, and I'm excited to see what happens for me!

Okay, how do people follow through on pitches without having a panic attack?
I got here through luck and weirdness. I didn't go to school for writing or television or anything. I assume they have classes for actually selling your words.
With less than a week to prepare... I feel nasueated. 💀

Regardless of what the officials are doing/saying, how goes writing for everyone else lately?
I'm cleaning up a series pitch for a network, that I was invited to submit. Phewwwww, it's heavy! About 20 years in the making, it's time.

They're my favourite sprinter from back when twitter wasn't a disaster. If they're done, nothing else matters. (You all matter, of course. Not the goobers who killed the site.)
Three versions of this post have been sitting in my drafts for several months but I couldn't bring myself to post it. You all probably knew but it's time. Peace out, #nanowrimo www.sushimustwrite.com/2024/09/02/d...

I will be tracking my writing progress and using that hashtag on social media in November.

The more I think about that Nanowrimo statement, the angrier I get. Like, they actually tried suggesting that underrepresented minorities need AI to break into publishing! Just say you think we're stupid, damn. Straight up bigotry, dressed up in SJ language, all to sell a scam.

I somehow missed that nanowrimo is now sponsored by a ChatGPT “writing” “aid”
Yep they are sponsored by ProWritingAid which is a ChatGPT powered "writing aid", which actually just writes for you.

Posting this here as well as Twitter. @nanowrimo.bsky.social thinks they can allow AI in NaNo and we have to follow along, and they are wrong.
I'm still doing NaNo this year, but I won't be using their website. I'll keep track of the metrics myself. I invite everyone to join me. #nanowrimo #noAI
