I rode the high of hitting my 50,000-words-in-a-month NaNoBlogMo goal for

exactly one day last week.

For one day I was over the moon! I did it! I wrote almost every morning for

one month, and came out with 50,000 words by the end of November. It was

like running a mental marathon! Combined with my October practice of trying

to write for 30 minutes each day, I had amassed 100,000 words of a book

draft. For those who aren’t word nerds, that’s about 350 pages

double-spaced. Definitely cause for celebration!

And then, as predictable as ever, the crash came. THE DIP.
