I Lost NaNoWriMo 2017 but Also Won It, Kind Of

20 November 2017 / My Writing, Writing Tips and Prompts

There are only ten days left in November, and I’m only 10k into this year’s NaNoWriMo novel. Unless I manage to write 5k every day for the next ten days, I will fail to win NaNoWriMo 2017. I have never, in my life, failed to win NaNoWriMo. Never. N E V E R. I won’t lie, […]
