Nano word count day 6 & 7

Been feeling sick (got my roommate's cold), so writing hasn't been as fun these last two days haha. Glad to finish out the week, and hoping it gets easier as time goes on!

day 6 WC: 1739

day 7 WC: 1672

Total WC: 12,334/11667

Nano day 5

wc: 1682/1667

today was a bit of a rougher one. I didn't really feel like writing, so I jumped around to different scenes that I wanted to do instead of continuing lineally. For anybody struggling with a scene, or with where the story is going, I highly suggest just putting (skip) and going to the next spot that you can come up with or an entirely different part. You don't have to write your story in order, and sometimes the best scenes are ones that you just drop randomly and put back in later.

Total WC: 7187 (14% done!)

Today I started chapter two of my novel that I'm writing. After transferring it over to a more polished rough draft doc, I'm sitting at 12 pages now.

FINISHED MY MANUSCRIPT AND YEETED IT AT MY LIT AGENT time to get some slee - oh shit NaNoWriMo is here.

Erm.

Right, so if you're like me and you have the opening line of your NaNo project and a vague idea, I'd still like to encourage you to take part in NaNoWriMo. A large number of responses I get at this time are people who drop out in the first week. You have a whole month! If you need some nudging to stay in the game, please consider:

Any writing done by the end of the month is more writing than you had before. The biggest benefit of NaNoWriMo is having accomplished something, be it 50000 words or a couple of chapters. Using NaNo as a tool to carve out writing time can be really useful, and it's worth giving a try if you've had trouble figuring out how to get things done.

You don't have to write a book. You don't even have to work on the same project every day! Whatever needs writing - those fanfic drabbles, that personal essay you really want to publish, those three ideas you can't pick between - can be written during NaNoWriMo.

NaNoWriMo is a great way to connect with other writers, both local and online. Listen, it's hard to find other writers. My current group is spread across the world and we have trouble pinning down Discord meetups. Sometimes finding an in-person group can really help, but how to do that is hard. NaNoWriMo can be a chance to find people you vibe with - or don't vibe with, but can sit next to for an hour to write in silence. Anything helps.

No writing is bad writing. Even if you never look at it again, sitting down to write is like working out. You are practicing and improving your skills, even if you don't realize it. The only way to get better is to keep doing it.

You don't have to win. You don't have to write every day. You can even lower your goals to 300 words a day and still being doing NaNo, because you're putting in the work.

You can jump back into NaNoWriMo at any time. Have a bad day? A bad week? A final exam you must spend all your time and energy on? Don't give up on Day 3, Day 15, or Day 25. Every day of the month can be a new opportunity to write, no matter how many setbacks you have.

If you've never done NaNoWriMo before, give it a try! If you've tried it before and pounding out a novel in a month doesn't work for you, make NaNoWriMo your own thing. A paragraph a day, a drabble a week - whatever keeps your words flowing, this is the perfect month to set goals and try things out to figure out your writing styles.

Good luck!

Completing the Pokedex

I'm trying to complete the (regional) Paldean Pokedex to get a shiny charm (since I enjoy shiny hunting). The last pokemon I need is Koraidon, and none of my friends have one. Does anybody have one they'd be willing to trade? I can trade my Maraidon if the person would be willing to trade it back.
