Well hello everyone, we’re back. It’s NANO time and we’re writing XENIA this year because its been a tough year and I need to expel anger and sad melodrama from my body like ASAP.
We’re FOCUSING.
Now that I’ve spent the year jumping from draft to draft on everything that needed (or desired) my personal attention and have 0 working drafts other than XENIA herself–
–yes this is a lie, I have plenty of half-chewed drafts whispering to me but we’re FOCUSING THIS YEAR.
This. Will be a single-draft NANO. And we WILL be finishing XENIA DRAFT 1 this year… so help me. I’m committing to the bit.
Even if I got absolutely derailed LAST YEAR.
Its fine. We’ll do better this year.
30 DAYS. 50,000 WORDS. 1 FIRST DRAFT COMPLETE.
So lets hop into it, yeah?
NANOWRIMO WC
Formatted JUST like my dailies. Heh. GREEN are goals hit (above 1,667 words) YELLOW for ‘at least we wrote SOMETHING today’ and RED for ‘i can’t believe you’ve done this….’

Ending it here
You know what? I’ve worked my ass off hard enough this year I think i need to cut this challenge here and do some picking and poking around on this draft before I jump into a proper big sprint.
I’m also just tired. I need a break. This year’s been a lot and while I’m happy with my output I think I’m in dire need of a reset, do some reading, take my time on a few more smaller projects I’ve been putting off.
It doesn’t help that Hal-con threw off my groove a bit more than I expected it to. Happy I did the con, I’d do it again in a heartbeat. If I hadn’t just finished a big project I might have been able to upkeep a wordcount but as it is I’ve created a LOT this year.
Thanks for following~
