I have been focusing more on my author blog lately, since I've been working so heavily on my novel, and I realized I have forgotten to update here very often throughout November. In fact, NaNoWriMo ended five days ago now, and I still haven't provided a recap!
The recap is that I won NaNoWriMo! It was the most successful NaNo I've ever had, actually. I had a few big word count days, but other than that I had a constant, daily pace that got me to the finish line on November 30th. I could have probably finished earlier if I hadn't been determined to continue writing in order, despite needing to do some research in the last week or so.
As I've mentioned in a recent post, I've been planning to keep working on my novel post-NaNoWriMo, and I've been considering how to ensure I make time for it. I wrote every day in November except for Thanksgiving, so I felt like this year had a good chance of having created a lasting daily writing habit. And sure enough, I've managed to work on my novel every day in December so far.
Right now it's a little up in the air what will be happening with my other endeavors. I also wrote recently about contemplating whether I wanted to continue or change my writing services. My primary client hasn't yet assigned out work for January, and I haven't done any marketing. I was going to wait until after NaNoWriMo to start marketing again, but if I decide to go that route, I think I'll actually have better luck after the holidays.
In any case, NaNoWriMo 2022 was a grand success, and may have done what I'm always hoping NaNoWriMo will do: Kick start lasting habits and produce lasting changes in my life.
