November 12th, feels good!

 

For the last year, I have already had a decent amount of words. But there is something I have learnt about myself. I can write about 25k in one month, with a full-time 9- 5 job and other life tidbits that come up and go away. 

Everything I have written last year I have kept and edited. Read over and over, feeling the vibe of what I want to say in each story. I could go to the 50k with more writing time. But I am also learning my writing process, learning how much I can write in each sprint. 15min sprint I can roughtly do 300 to 400 words or a little less. Sometimes these words are thrown up through my fingertips, with a significant need to redo, reread, and/or just remove, sadly. 

Finding the small pockets of time is essential to me during this time of the year. So going to my local library is something I love to do as well. Or going to the local Tim Hortons with an interesting writing buddy who has many words under his belt as well! 

Finding a writing community is a must for me. Keeps me inspired to keep the fingers on the keys of the pencil to the paper.
