Oh, that one is easy - NaNoWriMo 2021 I've passed already!

(even though it appears as if this stupid website just has reset my previous project's progress instead of starting a new one ...)

so..... i WAS going to do NaNo. even did some planning back at the beginning of the year. (what? a pantser doing some planning?! )
yeah, i had some of the plot planning and even started on some of the characters as well.
and then we started planning to move, and i stopped my planning. we just moved last weekend (settlement was the 21st) and I'm still settling in working from home.
so, yeah. no NaNo this year. but I'll cheer on everyone who IS writing

I think I got everyone added. @Flederfalle I believe that's your NaNo account? If not, can you shoot me the link? Thanks!

@trystan Eeesh moving is a huge pain. I'm glad it sounds like most of it is behind you, but settling into a new place brings about its own set of challenges, too. Good luck!

Made it to 20k! Extra pleased with that because I have a day of "get up in the middle of the night to travel"-day tomorrow, so it's quite likely that I'll be thoroughly dead when I get back home, and not be able to get a whole lot of words out

Whoa! Go Kiran! You are on fire!

I have been struggling with some mental health issues and so my word count is pretty low. I've not hit 5k yet. But I'm determined to make a come back!

On fire in a bad sort of "omg I have to get the words done, but I have no inspiration whatsoever, aaaaaaaaaahhhh!"-kind of way, I'm afraid Still, words are added to the page somehow

And you can do it! I believe in your comeback!

The more the merrier! Still lots left of the month too, so go go go!

Saturday is generally a bad day for writing for me, too much other stuff going on, but I still managed to squeeze in the words I needed to get up to 30k! Big yay for that!

Welcome to the madness, Sodabones!

Big congrats on 30k Kiran!! I'm still floundering a bit, but I have plenty of time so I'm not too worried. I feel like I need just one really good day of writing to get caught up.

Hauled myself across that 40k line! Extra pleased with that, because I was aiming to get there on Friday. Two days ahead of schedule is not bad at all!

Yay! You're so close, Kiran! Keep up the good work!

I'm slowly but surely getting caught up myself. I'm just sitting down to right a bit now before bed.

50k in the bag! Wohoo

And this is actually where I quit as well. I've struggled so badly this year, tinkering with three different stories but never quite enjoying any of them or figuring out where they were going. I was determined to keep my winning streak going, and get past 50k, so I am super satisfied with having managed that. It's totally not worth it to keep torturing myself the rest of the month though, enough is enough!

Congrats on hitting 50k Kiran!! I totally agree, once you reach that goal don't force yourself to keep going unless you actually feel good about doing so. Some years I have gone over and others I've called it quits. Just depends on how I feel.

I hit 30k yesterday! I'm slowly catching up! I have plenty of time off this week due to the holiday so I am aiming to hit 40k (at least) by the weekend.
