Day 10 complete!

Today's WC: 27

Total WC: 13,431/50000

in my defense, Thursdays are my busy exhausting days and I legitimately did not have time to write until about ten minutes ago and I am so tired I just want to go to bed
but I also made a promise to myself that I'd write every day during November so here we are

Day 11 complete!

Today's WC: 110

Total WC: 13541/50000

I have good news, bad news, and worse news

the bad news is I didn't write much again
the good news is I figured out why I haven't been writing very much recently!
the worse news is that it's :sparkles: seasonal depression :sparkles:

so I'm going to be spending some quality time with my sunlamp tomorrow and hopefully get myself back on track :')

Day 13 complete!

Today's WC: 585

Total WC: 14539/50000

Favourite line: Behind her, slowly working her way up the inside of the tunnels after her, Makaria made a quiet moaning noise. That, too, was familiar, and Melinoë suddenly felt like a child again, scrambling through the forest with her little sister trailing behind her, tripping and stumbling over some of the bigger logs and tree roots, but oh-so-determined to keep up with Melinoë at all costs.

hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh I'm going to catch up someday I swear

Day 14 complete!

Today's WC: 441

Total WC: 14980/50000

Favourite line: Makaria didn’t care, though. She couldn’t tell the difference between fake and real nature. She just liked the plants.

I'm very proud of myself for writing every day so far, even if it's just a little bit. I haven't worked on a novel project in a while so my writing muscles are a lil' sore but I'm exercising them slowly but surely and honestly I don't care what my WC ends up being at the end of the month, all that matters is that I did something every day :)

Happy halfway point!! You're doing awesome, and I love your mindset of focusing on doing something every day rather than stressing about the word count :)
It does not do to dwell on dreams and forget to live.

Ask a Therapist!
I want to beta read your novel!


Ask me anything. Talk to me about anything. Seriously. My PM box is always open <3

Today's WC: 1713

Total WC: 16802/50000

Favourite line: “You ever tried to bite through a leather jacket, boy?” the Gardener asked, taking another sip of their drink. “Your teeth ain’t strong enough, and neither are theirs. Slather your arm in meat and go stick it in one of your Florals’ mouths sometime. See what happens.”

consistent word counts? never heard of them. I either write several thousand words or twenty words, no in between

Day 19 complete!

Today's WC: 7419

Total WC: 24437/50000

Favourite line/paragraph: Makaria always woke her up in the morning. She’d done it for as long as Melinoë could remember, both when she was living and when she was dead. Every morning, Melinoë would wake up to Makaria sitting quietly next to her, staring blankly, making soft growling noises to herself that would change to a delighted purr as soon as she realized Melinoë was awake. She’d poke Melinoë lightly, snaking her freezing fingers into Melinoë’s blankets to try and find her warm skin. It always sent Melinoë scrambling out of her blankets to try and get away and usually ended up with Makaria happily munching on a chunk of meat to keep her occupied while Melinoë got dressed.
