Leimanu Posted October 27, 2016 Report Share Posted October 27, 2016 I remember at the start of the this year. I just killed challenge after challenge, including doing Bikram Yoga for 30 days in a row. Participating and completing every challenge. Then, for the last couple challenges, I just create the thread and forget about it. (I somehow remember to come back just in time for the next one ) Joe, in the recent NerdFitness blog post, said, "If you keep trying, that means it's important to you." Thanks, Joe. Anyway, it's NaNoWriMo time, and I'm doing it. (linked to Accountabilibuddies group) 1. Do my best to write 50K in 30 days!! 2. Walk to help the writing process 3. Tidy up office (this helps writing process, too ) 4. Financial Health Complete one task on my list. One. 1, Leimanu!! That's all that I'm really going to do for this challenge. Here's my "inspiration" board with weekly tally, outline, and quotes about writing a first draft of a novel. 2 Quote <--<< Daughter of Artemis >>--> Link to comment

Wow, the house is now SO BRIGHT. 4. Financial Health not today 2 Quote <--<< Daughter of Artemis >>--> Link to comment

The journey of 50,000 words starts with 50 crappy words. I'm sure they're beautiful words. On 10/31/2016 at 0:30 AM, Jakkals said: I am amazed by that outline. I've got a title only. I don't have a title. I have to admit, I made the outline a year ago when I first tried this and added recent notes. 1 Quote <--<< Daughter of Artemis >>--> Link to comment

Tidy up office Not today 4. Financial Health not today 1 Quote <--<< Daughter of Artemis >>--> Link to comment
Jayniana Jones Posted November 3, 2016 Report Share Posted November 3, 2016 I'm cheering for you. I opted not to do NanoWriMo this year to maintain my sanity. It's the first year in awhile I haven't done it and it feels weird. However, at the same time, I love the idea of watching others achieve it. Good luck.
