marcicat*I had to check the date to see what day it is, and then double-checked, because really? 20 days? It feels simultaneously like nanowrimo just started, and also like it's been going on forever, which is pretty much how time is these days.
*I can usually gauge my level of nanowrimo struggle by how many words I consider a set. (I like task switching, so I often use the 'do one thing, write some words, do one thing, write some words' strategy.) At the start of the month it was 200 words, then 100, and now I'm down to 50. Some years I've gotten as low as 10 words, so 50 is pretty good for day 20!
*I used to write in a straight line (finish one chapter / scene / section before going on to the next), and then one year I started writing the beginning of the next chapter while I was still finishing the end of the previous one and it was great. Right now I'm working on four different chapters at once and that is also great.
