*This app is free, and I’m not being paid for endorsing. It’s very new and there aren’t a lot — okay, ANY — of people talking about writing there yet, so it gets lonely when I listen to talks about life coaching.

I am better first thing in the morning.

Better at writing, better at recording. I know this. Now to do something with it.

Wordcount? I’m afraid to check. Few than 10k. More than 5k. Goal: 11666.

I was delighted to be talking about snacks today, when another NaNoWriMo writer joined my Wisdom stream.

(I haven’t said this, but one person joined and it was odd and he just wanted to talk about podcasting, so I cut that part. But this time it was a writer.)

So we talked self pub and Amazon Vellum and romance and pen names (he writes under a secret pen name with his partner, otherwise I would give him more of a shoutout.)

Today’s goal: 10000

5600 / 50000 words. 11% done!

And I’ll write now. Let’s hope for more words.

If you started NaNoWriMo by feeling like you’re at the top of a hill, looking down at the snowy path in front of you and thinking, how did I get here? You’re not alone. Just take it a little at a time and don’t let it bring you down.
