We're five days into NaNoWriMo and things are going a little slowly. I’m struggling to get started. No really sure why. Perhaps it’s because it’s an old story. Perhaps it’s because I don’t really want to do NaNo. Perhaps it’s because my shoulder is sore and I don’t feel like myself. I don’t even know.
Once I get started writing, I get in the flow of things and it comes rather easily. That’s the one good thing about this. My five day total is 15,662. I’m far ahead. Wow! Never expected to be that far ahead, but it feels good. I’m meeting my goals for NaNo.
- I’m writing 8,000 words/week.
- Completing at least 4 chapters each week.
- Each chapter has 2,000 or more words.
The story is going well. I feel like I’m telling a story worth reading. I never feel as if my story isn’t worth telling. I think it has to do with me telling my students…
You have a story to tell… So tell it!
I’m reminded of a quote by Maya Angelou… “THERE IS NO GREATER AGONY THAN BEARING AN UNTOLD STORY INSIDE YOU.”
I have to tell my story. Well, NaNo2018 is off to a good start.
