Day fifteen. Officially halfway through the month of November and therefore halfway through NaNoWriMo (at least as far as days are concerned). This is the point where it’s tempting to give up, set the story to rest for a while and (probably never) come back to it later.
This is exactly the point where we need to push ourselves forward and continue writing. We can do this!
Whether you’re almost there, or just barely started, keep writing. Your story matters, and if nothing else, take it as an opportunity to get to know yourself by venturing deep into the recesses of your mind.
Happy writing! 🙂
A couple of days ago I was struggling with motivation, but yesterday my main character created a new situation for herself and now I’m motivated to write about what she’s been doing. How is your story progressing? 🙂

That’s fantastic! 🙂 I love when the character/story writes itself like that and just happens organically.
I also think it’s amazing how our Ni can connect things and tie it all together. It’s like the entire thing was already in us before we even knew it. 🙂
My story’s coming along. I’ve had a few days where my characters just kind of stall and don’t do much, but they’ve stepped it up a bit and I think I see the rest of it on the horizon and know what they’re doing next. 🙂

I agree, if anyone has considered doing NaNo, or wants to write a novel, they totally should try it. It teaches you a lot about yourself too haha.

I agree! I think writing or art in general can teach us a lot about ourselves. It’s fun to push yourself to finish something when you know that there are others working on the same kind of project. After this I think I’m a little more determined to keep up with writing in general. So many things to learn! 🙂

Having other people doing the same things is a really amazing motivator. I want to keep writing more too, even after November is over 🙂

It’s amazing to see how much can change through different edits of a story too. 🙂 It’s definitely exciting! 🙂 Do you think you’d want to try getting it published, or just writing for yourself?

Right now, I’m just writing for myself. If I’m really happy with it after editing, I might think about self publishing. I haven’t decided yet. How about you?

That’s great! 🙂 I’m not really sure what I’ll do with it. I’m mostly just writing for myself, but the idea of being published is also pretty exciting. 🙂
