Did I succeed to write 25k words in one month? Sure? Even with a lot of work being done at the apartment complex, think painters, fixers, and so on. Making sure that from early morning till midday silence didn’t existed. Hence why I decided on a lower then 50k word scale. I succeeded. And it was quite doable with less than 1000 words a day. 

You have to adjust to the situation in the end. Nobody is at its mental top when the building sounds around you are many. 

In news: The National Novel Writing Month website is gone. People were warned about this by the organization itself. The organization is now really closing down. Just think of how many people gotten their first footsteps into writing through such. And how many are published now, even self published yes. Still the idea was great, and still is great so the spirit remains through other things. 

I remember finding out about it and trying it, 50k words in one month seems simple. Right… still I did hit the mark many times. And have written a lot of trash that way. Still some stories have reached a status of “this could be good” so are in being revised, reworked, and most important checked if there is even a market for it. But that is a whole other topic.

Ah, the forums, the different groups, the other writers you would meet. Many of which were not writing to get published that is fair. Or would publish on places like Wattpad or Archive of our Own.

Good times. Good memories. 

NaNo did a lot of good, and a few pretty bad stupid things. Let’s retain that spirit of a good idea and keep it moving along.
