this leap ahead in the word count is brought to you by Election Anxiety™️ I was up so late obsessively refreshing the poll results that I used writing as a distraction.

Inconvenient Places Where I Have My Best Writing Ideas: #2 - THE KITCHEN

I’m excited and nervous because I’m not exactly known for my consistency, but I believe it’s never too late to cement new habits. Here’s to pulling at the thread of the novel in my head 🧡📙🧶

Ultimately, I want to mold something for myself, not for work or a paycheck (I expend a lot of creative energy in my 9-5 which I love). I’m not under the delusion that this will be good on the first try - I know it’s gonna be dogshit on a page at first - but the goal is to GET IT DOWN.

I’m not trying to write tragedy porn. There are already plenty of Pulitzer-worthy stories about suffering in Latino history, but that’s not the story I want to tell. I want to capture the hard-won beauty, resilience, & fun that runs through us like an inheritance - because that’s exactly what it is.

Before I dive into my 50k November Novel goal, I’m keeping a list of reasons why I’m doing this for the days when I get tired or lose focus: I want to write about the issues that shape our community, and celebrate the ways we find joy and victory.

Since NaNoWriMo’s gone, I’m doing my own thing this year - I’m calling it My November Novel.

No high-stakes budget, no word trackers, no predatory forum moderators. Just me, my document, and a promise to myself to hit 50,000 words before December 1.

Anyone wanna join me? - L
