NaNoI though

NaNo

I thought I posted this (2 times?? Or was that just a daydream?? It happens, so sorry if it was) already? @admins, is NaNo a banned subject? Sorry, just wondering, don't mean to be disrespectful or anything!

Thanks @pangolin! :) I'm feeling better now because then we went to the bookstore and got ackk remember that drawing of a kitten caboodle I did a (not-really-that-long-ago) while back? Well, we went and got my first ever jellycat (while knowing what a jellycat is)... an actual kitten caboodle! This is Meryl/Mer, and she's cheering y'all on too (she looks kinda mad in this photo but that's just my photography (non)skills, she looks quite happy irl!)! :D

Plus I got some AWESOME books I'm so excited to read after I finish all the awesome books I'm currently on rn (and threw a Cricket mag, a Muse mag, and a Cobblestone mag into the picture too bc why not)!! AWESOME BOOK OVERLOAD!!! IT'S AWESOME!!!

...and now I send like a really cheesy advertisement. A sure sign that it's time to end this post!

Ig that's why they have that backup your work badge... honestly, I just take screenshots if I'm not 100% certain it'll save, but still. Argh. Best of luck in making up that progress again!!

 

*sigh* speaking of, time to go write 4,000 words because that's where procrastination gets you! You've all got this! We're almost there!! :DD

how do you write like you're running out of time?

write day and night like you're running out of time

how do you write like tomorrow won't arrive? 

how do you write like you need it to survive? 

how do you write every second you're alive?

every second you're alive, every second-- /lyr

bECAUSE IT'S THE LAST DAY OF NOVEMBER AND I'M STRESSED 

in all seriousness, i believe in you guys and you've all done such amazing work and i'm so proud do you all <333

AHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!! 50,000 WORDSS!!!!!!!!! MY FIRST NANO EVER!!!!!! AHHHHHHHH!!!!!!

 

anyways, congrats to all of you who met your goals, and especially congrats to everyone who KEPT. ON. WRITING!! Even if you didn't write every single day (I know I didn't), even if your quality wasn't the best (mine was HORRIBLE!), you did it!! You wrote!!! And that in itself is already a p-re-tty hard thing to do. So give yourself a pat on the back and treat yourself to a drink (like milk or water or juice or something, not, like, y'know, that other thing) and a rest, because wooohooo writer, you are ROCKIN' it!!!! :DDD

submitted by CelineBurning Bright, age Whewf! :), Congratulations everyone!

that's so awesome, Celine! :D congrats! and right back at you--congrats for sticking to it and teaching your goal!

(although it is of course perfectly fine to not reach your goal, because you still wrote some words and made a valiant effort, and most people don't even get that far and i'm so proud of you whether or not you ended up reaching your goal!) <33

virtual churros for everyone! you might had to dust the confetti off before you eat them, though :P
