It’s November first so that means that NaNoWriMo has officially started! I’m scared and ecstatic at the same time. Wondering how many words I can get in everyday. I want to push myself but not over my limits so I’ll only be writing in the evenings until it’s time for bed and during the weekend.

Even though I haven’t even finished my outline completely I am positive I can get a lot done this month. Reaching for 30.000 – 50.000 words for my first draft. To keep myself motivated I have made a simple spread in a bullet journal to log my word count. And I’m going to post weekly updates with my progress. Maybe I’ll even share favourite moments or passage I’ve written.

Even though I’m writing this post while I’m at work, all I can think about is writing my novel. I’m seriously so excited to get started but I have to wait till I’m home unfortunately. 1200 words already in, can I make it to 3000 words by the end of the day?

Take care and keep on writing!
