Are you aiming for any rewards throughout NaNo this year? Let me know!

@asyad7018 8 месяцев назад

My job requires a lot of traveling, so I'm trying to find as many libraries and cafe's in my county as possible for NaNo. It's my non-retreat retreat/reward :)

@princelujan 8 месяцев назад

Hope you can rest and recover! Winning Nanowrimo will be my reward, don't have the money for anything special but actually achieving my goal will be equally awesome Love your videos💕

@syenite 8 месяцев назад

My overall goal is 75,000. But if I hit at least 70,000, I will get a Happy Planner. Did not even know they existed until finding your channel, but there 2024 Star Lover ones are just calling to me and would be PERFECT for making my revision plan. The time it takes to write a novel is the time it takes. The one I released recently took five years from first word to hitting "publish". Word counts are fun to track and might be the stated goal of NaNo, but the spirit of NaNo, I believe, is being creative. And the only way to fail at that is to not even think about writing. So no matter what, everyone who's worked on a novel in some capacity this month, has already won NaNo. The rest is just for fun.

Self bribery works for me, but money or a lack there of makes it difficult. I've actually got some "Terry's Chocolate Orange"'s if you know what they are, and I'm gibing myself one segment of chocolate per 500 words, and then every 2,500 words (My daily minimum target) I'm having a Options Mint Chocolate Hot Chocolate. the box is in the cupboard but the self control to not just have one anyway is insane lol. My reward for hitting my 75k total is going to be a finish manuscript, so I cannot complain about not having any other "reward".

@roisinanson24 8 месяцев назад

Yes my big reward if I hit my goal of 60000, is apple products I want a Mac computer and a new iPad so if I win I get to buy them so excited!!!!

@hannahheart1254 8 месяцев назад

Started off well with my Nano WIP on day 1 and day 2, then I got distracted with my spooky short story collection that I haven't written anything for months. But I told myself that this is a no-pressure Nano so I'm riding the wave because I'm happy to get these short story second drafts out - progress is progress. I'm giving myself grace because I tend to be pretty hard on myself when it comes to my writing goals. But the fact that I'm writing again and LOVING it is great. I never want to get to the stage where writing is a chore, or work, or not fun anymore. It's my passion and I love it and want to share my thoughts with the world. I will be published one day... Why not instead of mulling over trying to decide which cabin to choose, how about you let the cabin CHOOSE you? You know, kind of the same way Vanessa Shaw "chose" each member of her clique to invite to the cabin for one last hurrah :) Congrats on your Nano progress, Sarra! You've got this :)

@somberhoney 8 месяцев назад

I hit 10k words in my draft today! A few of my friends are hosting a writing event this weekend and going to their streams have definitely helped me keep up the momentum longer than if I was writing on my own.

@sarahkiernan9198 8 месяцев назад

@NixyRumancek 8 месяцев назад

Currently at a write-in myself (I’m taking a break to eat something quickly between wordsprints) and decided to toss this video on. I got a slow start as well compared to my usual but I also switched projects literally on day 1. I’m loving your VMars planner/laptop stickers btw.

I too am very behind where I would want to be right now because I'm so tired and burnt out - your first week videos reminding us that it's okay to start off slow, to stop and rest, it's been really nice to see

@booksbythestack 8 месяцев назад

Way to go, Sarra! Every step is a movement forward. I always tell myself, whether ding something creative or doing mundane tasks, "It takes what it takes."

Today has been a buffer day for me. Thanks to the Preptober workbook, I don’t feel bad about that. Thank you! ❤ Edited to add: tomorrow I’m gonna watch the replays of all the double down day videos all the hearties did today.

@Ang36914 8 месяцев назад

I like that you call some days your recovery days. Sometimes we really need those days. Today has been one of those days for me. I was going to head to the gym but needed some time to recuperate after my 9-5 and feeling unwell over the weekend.

@questionthat 8 месяцев назад

I love Nanowrimo Diaries! Thanks for sharing these moments with us. I'm doing an unconventional Nanowrimo this year. I'm using Nanowrimo time as my reward for completing tasks on my Q4 HB90 list. I'm still in the early crafting/planning stages of my current project so I'm using the words in my outlining and planning document towards my very low personal word count goal. It's a nice treat and great motivation to keep going with my HB90 goals this quarter.

@SIMulatedSara 8 месяцев назад

I'm glad to see you taking care of yourself while balancing your workload. Rest is so important, especially after the best spooktacular ever! My fingers are on fire this year so far, and I hit 11k words already. taking a break to touch some grass and eat some dinner before I write more this evening! Thanks for getting me off to a great start with your sprint this morning ❤

@marahsoore6452 8 месяцев назад

You're so inspiring, turly! Thank you for always being so honest with folks. On Day 3 I was at 13k. I picked out these rewards for myself: - 10k: An audiobook bundle of a series that's similar to the book I'm writing -20k: New dice for dungeons and dragons -25k: Buy a physical copy of Hades and spend the day playing the game after I make my wordcount -30k: Bookstore run -40k: Coffee artist date with myself -50k: Yarn and pattern for a knitting pattern I want to make that looks like something my characters would wear. Every 1k I'm also giving myself a piece of candy, though I might let myself pick between candy and a dollar to add to a shopping spree at the end of the month.

@SarahMcAshan 8 месяцев назад

By now you've probably already picked a retreat spot, but if not, we like the Home 2 Suites by Hilton Dallas North Park on Midtown Blvd. We stayed there when my husband had 2 eye surgeries at the specialty eye hospital right by there. We loved it, it was very comfortable and the staff was super friendly. And Pro-tip: there's a great breakfast spot nearby, Snooze A.M Eatery, on Walnut Hill Ln. When we told them we were there for the eye hospital, they gave us free pancakes! Take it easy--you're doing great!

Day 4 of Nanowrimo and I'm so thankful for all your videos. I printed out your Preptober planner and it's been so helpful. I outlined 27 of 30 chapters. I did my character profiles, notes, etc. I've had to change a couple of things in my outline but, pre-planning has helped to keep me focused and on target so far! Thank you for all you do!

@nancy_weis 8 месяцев назад

Thanks Sarra for being so open and honest in your videos! I can totally relate today to your fear of not having the stamina to push through on the edits. Did my first draft in around 3 months, but then things got rough. 50% rewrite planned and now it's 7 months later and I'm just writing again the midpoint... Wishing you the best progress ever on the writing retreat.

@Flownthecoup23 8 месяцев назад

I lost a manuscript once in Google Docs. After that my husband bought me a 1946 Royal typewriter because you could always trust manual. I’m using it on my parallel Nanowrimo project because I have 2 different directions my book can go and Docs was annoying me again 😂🤣

@elizalagonia1049 8 месяцев назад

I just didn't write on Day 3. We had dinner late because all our "quick" dinner plans feel through and then my twins decided they'd fight sleep until 11 pm. Of course they were up at 8 am. My montra for this month is "do what you can."

@nadineduerksen6556 8 месяцев назад

@5harinn 8 месяцев назад

Getting into the writing tomorrow. I still have some plotting and worldbuilding that I need to get done before diving truly in. I'm going for 50000 words and if I make it, I am getting a new laptop.. the one I have at the moment keeps freezing up on me and shutting down every now and then.. I hope it makes it all the way to December.. You are doing great Sarra! Just remember to take breaks every now and then and have fun :)

@kathywerebwrites 8 месяцев назад

I started Nano a week early, so am nearly to 10k! It's been a rough year for me so am moving slow, but my goodness, it's awesome to get back into writing!

@brookdwyer4554 8 месяцев назад

Cheering you on as you write this month. I didn't have much time and energy to put into Preptober, caring for a sick family member, so I am trying a new outlining challenge. It's a Christmas story. taking place over 30 days. Got an undated calendar and outlined day to day, just a quick note in each space. Then took and old vertical happy planner and used each day as a quick beginning, middle, end of each chapter. Wish me luck!

@joannaholden943 8 месяцев назад

Love it! Felt so inspired watching. ❤ I have hit 1260 for the day in my first writing session and am anticipating writing a similar amount in the next to finish the scene. The words are a bit stiff, but the important stuff is there and I can fix it later. Let's do this!!!

@annelyle5474 8 месяцев назад

I have a mix of spend and no-spend rewards this year - 10/30/50k are set sums I can spend at stationery shops, and 20/40k are for playing with my 2024 planners 😀 I really want to hit 10k this weekend, as one of my favourite UK shops is doing a Once More With Love washi tape preorder that ends on Sunday!

@jennifersjunkmail5935 8 месяцев назад

Yep, balance is key, along with the perspective that in the end, hitting a daily word count is supremely unimportant. So glad you recognize the importance of taking care of yourself and your family, while steadily working toward your goals. Looking forward to cheering on you and all the NaNoWriMo folks this month, as you enjoy this event! (Tiny note - the word count at the beginning and end of the video has a "I" instead of a "1". Annoying, in case you want to fix that moving forward.) You also mentioned yesterday maybe changing the planner page headers to have the "Days Remaining" reflect the end of the day instead of the beginning of the day: I can't tell for sure if you already have this, but if not, it might be nice to use some of the white space at the top to add a "Words Written Today" field, to have in addition to the starting and ending total word count. Could be helpful when looking back on the prior year for how productive one was in relation to the day's goals and other tasks. Thanks for all you do to support aspiring writers!

@heyjaygames3273 8 месяцев назад

@phoenixfaye73 8 месяцев назад

For NaNo this year, I decided that I'm not allowed to do anything 'fun' after work unless I get my words for the day. But then I had to change that. I mean, I WAS obeying myself - I wasn't doing anything fun - but instead I started organizing rather than write. So now I just can't do anything after work until I finish my words. :P It's working as of day 4, so I have hope.

I’m so behind in word count. Days 1 & 2 were pretty much a bust. I filled out scene cards and made notes, but nothing more. Yesterday and today were pretty decent. 3,733 words so far, and I plan to try for another 2k before I close up for the night. 🤞 But first, my Sarra fix. 😁
