Well... NaNoWriMo went about as well as I expected it to. I only ended up hitting 14k words of the 50k but honestly? It doesn't feel like a fail.
We all work at our own pace. Sometimes I can smash out a few thousand words a day, sometimes only a few hundred, sometimes again I end up writing nothing.
Last week, I was too busy with pre-booked things to have the energy to write. And you know what? I don't feel guilty that I only wrote 4 words in one week.
I am my own time monitor. I can take as long as I want, and that's okay! I'd rather take my time than push myself to get work out and end up hating what I've written.
And with that in mind, Chapter Eighteen will be published tomorrow and this one is a heck of a rollercoaster which brings the overall published word count to 57k!
