Wri50KInAMo Day 15
In light of the recent events happening at the NaNoWriMo, I will no longer be using or participating in the online event. Instead, I will continue to conduct my experiment on transparency and write 50K in the month of November on my own in a personal setting I’m referring to as Wri50KInAMo. I have deleted my NaNoWriMo account and will be keeping public accountability here on my Substack going forward.
daily summary 📅
Well, the news of what’s happening at NaNoWriMo is incredibly disheartening.
As a result, I have deleted my NaNoWriMo account and intend to keep accountability here on my Substack instead. For those of you who are also participating in NaNoWriMo and would like an accountability and/or commiseration buddy, let me know in the comments! I shall cheer you on.
daily process ⏱️
8:04AM. Dropped the bois off at daycare, got home just in time to let the furnace people into my house, made coffee, and now to rev myself up for writing.
9:49AM. I forgot that the cleaning lady was also suppose to come today. There is so much chaos happening in my house with the new furnace installation and vacuuming. I keep forgetting that the days both bois are at daycare are the days I need to do OTHER administrative nonsense. Like try and figure out whether or not my car passed the state safety inspection so I can renew my registration. Ugh.
1:11PM. Once again, after yesterday’s relatively productive writing day, today feels shot. Of course, the distractions aren’t helping my ADHD either. Also, my left eyelid keeps twitching and it is driving me nuts.
2:52PM. Welp, I’ve forgotten how much of a time suck TikTok can be. I’ve lost almost two hours to that app—how???? I also can’t stop singing I’m just Ken, anywhere else I’d be a ten/I’m just Pete and I like jugs, I’m mentally ill and I’m on drugs.
5:35PM. The furnace people finally left and now I have some time to catch up on writing. I’m still counting the words in my long, shitty synopsis as part of my total word count, even though in actuality, I don’t have a lot of actual, usable words on this draft. Still, all work is work and nothing is wasted. That’s what I’m telling myself anyway.
7:18PM. One of these days I’ll hit my word count before my computer switches to dark mode, but that day is not today. Nevertheless, I have accomplished what I need for the day, so it’s time to order some Mediterranean food and zone out with the bois on the couch to wrap up my rewatch of Dollhouse.
That’s Day 15 of Wri50KInAMo done! How about y’all? Any successes? Failures?
