Nanowrimo Day 14: Week 2 Review

This is how far I am behind! 😀

Word Count Goal Per Writing Day: 2000

Actual Average Word Count Per Writing Day: 1642

Planned Writing Days: 6

Planned Writing Days: 4

Day 8 Word Count: 909

Day 9 Word Count: 0

Day 10 Word Count: 2366

Day 11 Word Count: 0

Day 12 Word Count: 0

Day 13 Word Count: 240

Day 14 Word Count: 3052

Planned Words This Week: 12000

Actual Words This Week: 6567

Planned Total Words: 24000

Actual Total Words: 16268

Well, so if my goal for Nanowrimo was consistency, I feel like I slid back a bit this week. I had hoped to write all but one day of rest this week, and I fell off the horse. 

On the plus side, last week I wrote an average of 1615 words per day that I wrote and this week I wrote an average of 1642 per writing day. But there were less writing days, which is really something I am trying to work on.

This blog post definitely feels a day late and a dollar short, but luckily Thanksgiving is over and there is time to catch up, not only with Nanowrimo, but also with blogging.

How is everyone out there doing? Has anyone had any wins lately?  

Falling off the Horse, A Haiku for NaNoWriMo Days 9-12

Falling off the Horse, a Haiku for NaNoWriMo

But it’s November!

I cry, as life gallops on

Word count in the dust

Life, amirite? 

Maybe it was crazy for me to think that I would write a novel in a month and also blog about it every day. It turns out that life decided it was going to keep happening even though I made those plans! I mean, come on! 

So the blogs have fallen by the wayside, as I have been trying as hard as possible to focus on the novel, and I am even behind in that.

But! I am not down and out. I am still going to for the 50,000 words this month. And, I do think it’s important to note that even as I write this sad little ditty about falling off the NaNo horse, this is still one of my best months of the year in terms of word count.

Still moving forward, still getting words down, still trying to document it.

How about you? Are you still on track? Still motivated? Already have your novel done and dusted?

Week 1 Review: NaNoWriMo Day 7

Nanowrimo week 1 Review Reflection Week 1 stats on Lightning Droplets

Here are the first week’s stats!

My Week 1 Review for NaNoWriMo 2021. Here’s how the numbers broke down.

Word Count Goal Per Writing Day: 2000

Actual Average Word Count Per Writing Day: 1615

Planned Writing Days: 6

Planned Writing Days: 6

Day 1 Word Count: 2042

Day 2 Word Count: 2037

Day 3 Word Count: 1089

Day 4 Word Count: 1516

Day 5 Word Count: 420

Day 6 Word Count: 2646

Day 7 Word Count: 0

Planned Words This Week: 12000

Actual Words This Week: 9750

So, this feels like good, important information to have. I had been feeling like I hadn’t written enough days this week, but in actuality, I wrote the number of days I had planned, taking Sunday off instead of Friday. 

But I still didn’t meet my word count because on the days that I did write, I didn’t reach my daily goal. I probably should have figured that since I did not write enough to get my daily rewards on a lot of writing days. 

Well, so now I know. I’ll be trying to catch up by encouraging myself that I can do just one more sprint each day, past the point where I might have called it a night. 

Another one of the things I love about NaNoWriMo, I guess. It pushes you in ways that make you learn about your process as a writer. Trying to get back on the horse and gallop a little more each day!

Hopefully this little reflection on the stats will help me be a more consistent writer next week. 

How did your Week 1 go? Can you believe we are halfway through Week 2 already?!

Novel Excerpt from the WIP: NaNoWriMo Day 6

Jaclyn3 Comments

Nanowrimo novel excerpt

As I am falling, I can tell there is more than snow. There is the supple bend of life, clouds of green that I pass through as I fall, and the uneven jaggedness of growth. But the snow consumes me anyway, pulling me into its murky thickness. It is so dense that I cannot breathe the air between the snowflakes. 

And then I hit ground. Real, hard, brown frozen ground. It seems impossible. When was the last time my feet touched ground? My hands touched the earth? 

But the snow is slipping. It’s sliding down toward me and I move away from it, against the middle of the space.

And then I realize. It is a trunk against my back, the brittle familiarity of its mottled bark. It clings to me, to my clothes, as the snow rushes toward me and stops. I turn to look at the tree, and there is something odd about it. A wave around the trunk is darker than the rest of the blackness around me, darker than the brown of the trunk itself, darker than the ground, darker than the snow refracting light from way above. I can still see the sky. But this wave of black is deep.

I reach out and touch the soot. I bring my fingers close to my eyes and even in the darkness, I think I can see it. It is familiar, this wave of soot. The way it hugs the tree into a crest. The sharpness of the curve in the trough. I know this tree. 

I step around it and my foot snaps on a twig. I look down to see one of Cole’s manufactured friends. And as I bend to reach for it, the snow comes tumbling again. I can feel myself being pulled under, the bubbles rushing away from me, and the light is getting further and further away and I am boring into the water droplets looking for something to hold on to or some kind of answer. 

Note:

This is a snippet from the novel I am working on for NaNoWriMo. I hope you enjoy it. I’m documenting my journey each day. 

Here’s yesterday’s stats:

Progress:

Day 5 Word Count: 420

Total Word Count: 7107

Where I Planned to Be: 8000

1667 words per day: 8335

Yesterday was supposed to be a day of rest, but an idea came to me and I needed to get it down. Yay for momentum! 

How is everyone else doing?

Rest and Double Down: NaNoWriMo Day 5

JaclynLeave a comment
rest and double down nanowrimo how to take a break

How do you decide when to take a break and when to push yourself?

This is something that I often struggle with, and today is no exception. 

NaNoWriMo forces me to wrestle with this in especially poignant ways.

I’ll give my progress first, so you can see the dilemma:

Progress:

Day 4 Word Count: 1516

Total Word Count: 6684

Where I Planned to Be: 8000

1667 words per day: 6668

My plan for this month was to write 2000 words per day on writing days so that I could take time to spend with my family on Fridays and also have Thanksgiving off. 

Right now, I am on track for the official NaNoWriMo count, which counts 1667 words per day (4 days x 1667 = 6668), but you have to write all 30 days without fail. I have met myself and I know I need some breaks, hence the 2000 per day.

Today is Friday. I had planned to take today off. I am a mere 1316 words away from being right on target. I know I can easily reach that word count today if I skip the pizza prep and just show up for dinner. But then, I will not have taken the day off. 

It is tempting to get on target.  I could catch up in an hour or two, probably. 

But like I said, I know I need breaks. Things need to rattle around in my head so that they can come out the way I want them to. And I know that when I don’t take breaks, the muse or writer’s block or anxiety or whatever you want to call it forces me to. I will have major FOMO as my kid and husband hang out together. I’ll resent NaNoWriMo and writing in general, and the block will snowball. 

So, I am trying to stay on top of it. I am giving myself a pizza and movie night, even though I am not on track, so that tomorrow, I am refreshed and can go at it hard.

Tomorrow is Double Down Day in the Heart Breathings Word Sprints Facebook Group (highly recommend), and my small group of friends is meeting to write, and my local NaNo group is meeting for a virtual write-in, so my plan is to jump on a little bit of each of those and catch up. 

My goal is to write 3316 words tomorrow. Tonight, I get pizza and wine! 

How do you decide when to let yourself rest and when to push yourself? Do you have any tips to make the most of resting?

Why do NaNoWriMo? NaNoWriMo Day 4

Jaclyn5 Comments
why do nanowrimo? Nanowrimo day 4

It’s a new moon today. A time for listening within. A time for setting intentions. It has been making me think a lot about my whys. Why do NaNoWriMo? Why write? What exactly am I hoping to accomplish?

As the days get shorter and my energy wanes, it seems a herculean task to expect myself to write more than I do at any other time of year. Especially as the to-dos pile up with the holidays and the end of the year.

And yet…

I still do NaNoWriMo. Even after losing the first six times, like a glutton for pain and disappointment, I still wanted to do it. Why?

Why do NaNoWriMo?

I have heard people give a lot of reasons about why they do NaNo.

  1. Camaraderie. If you ask a WriMo why they do it, so many will answer that it’s the camaraderie. And the community of it is huge. There are tons of authortubers who take part. Facebook and Instagram are covered in it. There are groups for local participants, groups for participants in different genres. You can go around the world on discord or write for 100 hours straight on youtube. Even as an introvert, you feel like you are part of something larger.
  1. The Challenge. Sometimes you just need something to kick you into overdrive. I love a challenge (see my posts on writing challenges and submission bonanzas) and I think of NaNoWriMo as a dare. Who said I couldn’t finish a novel in a month? I’ll show them! 
  1. Taking yourself more seriously. You can’t sit around waiting for inspiration to strike when you are on a deadline like this, even if it is self-imposed. You just need to get your butt in the chair and do the best work you know how to do. Get down to business.
  1. Taking yourself less seriously. This is maybe counterintuitive, to take on a big challenge like this to take yourself less seriously, but hear me out. You cannot be precious about your words and your work when you are trying to write a novel in a month. 
  1. Finally finishing something. While I think most winners of NaNoWriMo come out on December 1st with a completely ready-to-go book, I do think the premise requires you to stick with one project. You can’t follow your shiny object syndrome and finish a novel in a month. And then, once you are 50,000 words in, you might as well just finish. 

Why do I do NaNoWriMo?

We all have very different reasons for coming to the page, and NaNoWriMo is no exception. For me personally, it is about building my consistency as a writer. I have been writing stories since I could write, and yet it has never been consistent. My writing always seemed best when it was bursting out of me, and I just had to wait for that to come. I could sit down and vomit up something in 15 minutes that would be beautiful or sit down and work for hours on something that was crap. I felt like my writing, my muse, my creativity was not something I could control myself.

But I am working on developing a different relationship with my writing. I am learning to create the space for the writing to come, to allow it even in the quiet times, to listen for it even when I am not inspired. And NaNoWriMo helps me build that muscle. The camaraderie and the challenge and the feeling of accomplishment are awesome. But for me, the biggest gain is the exercise, the practice, the slow and steady development of my ability to sit down each day and create. 

What’s your why?

Here’s my update

Progress:

Day 3 Word Count: 1089

Total Word Count: 5169

This puts me just a little bit behind where I had hoped to be today. But also, just this much is more than I wrote in all of October, and on track according to the 1667 words everyday math. So I am happy with that, but I am going to have to put in extra work today if I want to take give myself a break on Friday! 

How to Set Daily Word Count Goals: NaNoWriMo Day 3

Jaclyn6 Comments

How to set Daily Word Count Goals Nanowrimo

How many words do you really need to write per day to win NaNoWriMo? Setting daily word count goals might not be as straightforward as it seems at first.

The measurable goal of NaNoWriMo is to write 50,000 words in the month of November. That’s 1667 words per day for all thirty days. But how many words do you need to write to win NaNoWriMo if you are not a supercomputer who is going to write the exact same amount each day?

Maybe you are one of those super-people who are actually going to write 1667 words every day of November. And if you are — way to go! That’s amazing! But if you are like me, you probably need to figure out how many words you need to write each writing day to win Nanowrimo.

Let’s face it, life does not necessarily stop because you are working on a novel. There are still chores and birthdays and turkeys to think about. You might be able to write 1667 words 6 days a week, and then if one day that week doesn’t go like all the rest, you are behind. 

However, if you can take all of the chores and birthdays and turkeys into consideration as you track your words, you are going to be in a great position to win NaNoWriMo.

How to set daily word count goals.

  1. Look at your average weeks. Be honest with yourself. How do your days usually go? Do you need a day off a week for chores and errands? Do you know that once a week you are generally out of commission, because of health, or someone who needs you? Are your Tuesdays already all booked? Subtract all the days each week that you know you will probably not have time or space to write.
  1. Look at the month of November. What commitments do you already have? Are there birthdays or work deadlines or holidays that might take away time from your writing? Make sure you subtract those days too. 
  1. Add up the days you have left.
  1. Are all your days equal? If you want to be even more precise, you can look at how different your days might be. Maybe on Saturdays you can spend twice as much time writing. Or maybe you know you can devote a lot of time to your novel over Thanksgiving weekend. Whatever it is, think about whether there are days that you know you will be able to give more. If you know you will be able can write double or triple a normal day’s work, you can double or triple those particular days. 
  1. Divide 50,000 by the number of days you have left.

For me, it looks like this: 

  1. Fridays are family days for me, and I want to honor that even as I focus on my writing. So all four Fridays are not writing days. (30 days in November – 4 Fridays = 26 writing days)
  2. I am not writing on Thanksgiving. I love me some cooking, and I intend to spend the whole day enjoying making a feast. (26 writing days – 1 holiday = 25 writing days)
  3. 25 writing days left!
  4. I don’t have any days where I know for sure that I will be able to do more. Hopefully there are days when more than average gets done, but for me, I can’t count on it, so my count remains the same. 25 writing days.
  5. 50,000 words ÷ 25 writing days = 2000 words per day.

You can see that this is actually quite a bit more than the “official” 1667 per day that is needed, so if I had been doing only 1667 per day, I would fall behind the first Friday that I spend time with my family. This means I would feel guilty, either about not writing, or about not guarding that time with my family. I used to feel like I was always needing to choose between family and writing. But, if I plan ahead of time, I can do a few more words each day and have guilt-free family pizza and movie nights. 

Speaking of which, I have hit almost exactly 2000 words each day so far for NaNoWriMo, so I know I am on-target and can take my Fridays off to spend time with my family. (So far!)

Here are yesterday’s stats:

Progress:

Day 1 Word Count: 2037

Total Word Count: 4079

I am still on track! I swear, this feels like my best start to NaNoWriMo yet!

How are things going for you?

There Must Be Fifty Ways to Track Your Word Count: NaNoWriMo Day 2

Jaclyn2 Comments

Yesterday I jumped right into writing as soon as the kiddo was asleep. That meant that I didn’t have the opportunity to think about tracking my word count or anything like that beforehand.

Let me be frank. Every year, I plan on doing NaNoWriMo Prep. I print out workbooks from the NaNoWriMo website and other authors about how to plan and prep, everything from plotting to meal planning to the whole shebang. Literally, anything I can think of to make it easier to actually get all the words down on the page and focus just on the writing, I plan to do.

I mean, I even wrote a post about how to prep, and it’s still one of my most popular posts.

But every year, something gets in the way. Usually, October is the month we are packing up shop at the cabin and moving to our winter abode. This year was no exception.

So yeah, this is definitely something you could/should plan beforehand, but I did not.

If you are like me and looking for ways to track your word count still, maybe this will help. Here are five ways I am thinking about tracking my writing. Something I definitely should decide today.

  1. The Official NaNoWriMo website. This one is a no-brainer. If you want to unlock the prizes, you need to input it into their site. They also have interesting stats with a cute interface. But did you also know you can use this tracker for just all of your projects? Year-round. 
  2. Sarra Cannon’s Preptober Workbook. Paper-lovers and spreadsheet haters rejoice! If you want a printable, paper tracker that helps make it feel like a game, this one is a good one. I have already spent too much time stanning Sarra here, but suffice it to say that she knows a lot about creating positive momentum in your writing routine and her NaNo trackers help with that.
  3. Artful Spreadsheet trackers by Svenja Gosen. These were my go-to trackers for years. I love the auto-fill spreadsheets and the imagery is awesome for setting the mood. She also has spreadsheets for year-round tracking and tracking individual projects. Highly recommend. 
  4. Word Count Tracker from the 20Booksto50k Facebook Group. If you are an indie author, this group has tons of information and resources, including a well-thought out and very easy to use word count tracker. This is the one I use to track my word counts on a daily basis. It is a lot like the group — no frills, but works. 
  5. 4thewords. This is one I have been thinking about for a while. I am a nerd who loves the gamification of everything and this app and online writing community gamifies your word count. I mean, squee!  But this is the only one of the trackers mentioned here that charges a fee. That is why, up to now, I haven’t tried it. But there is a free 30 day trial that I could use for NaNo to see if the motivation of killing those cute monsters and having quests really motivates me enough to be worth the money. Have you tried it? Would you recommend it?

How do you track your word count? Are there others I should be looking into?

And of course, I’ll be tracking my word count here, too. So you can see how it’s going.

Progress:

Day 1 Word Count: 2042

Total Word Count: 2042

Met my first daily goal! Yay! Now on to Day 2!

IT’S NOVEMBER!: NaNoWriMo Day 1

Jaclyn7 Comments

That means it’s time for NaNoWriMo again! You maybe have heard of the yearly challenge of trying to write a novel in thirty days. These are those days.

NaNoWriMo and I have a speckled history, to say the least. I began trying to NaNo in 2013, and for YEARS I could not win. I tried nearly every year from 2013-2019 and lost every time. 

Then in 2020, I tried again and won! 

What was the difference? Honestly, I have no idea. Maybe there were so many fewer social commitments because of the pandemic. Maybe it was that I finally had an office. Maybe it was that I finally got more involved with my local NaNo group (shout out to Alaska WriMos!).

In any case, it lit a fire under me. I am a slow writer, and to think I could do 50000 words of writing in 30 days (and actually, I wrote the vast majority of those in the last two weeks) just blew my mind.

Was it my best work? No. Was it a finished novel? Also obviously no. But it was a really good start on the first draft of the next book in the series I was working on and I was thrilled. 

So, here I am again. 

I will be trying to journal here every day of November, letting you know how I am going, the word counts, and documenting how it happens. 

Check back for updates, and to keep me honest!

PS: Are you doing NaNo too? I would love to hear how it is going for you. The camaraderie is the best part!

Planning and Goal Setting for Writers: A Review of HB90 Bootcamp

Planning and Goal Setting for Writers: A Review of Sarra Cannon’s HB90 A Review of HB90 Bootcamp: A Planner for Writers A Planner for Depression and Anxiety: A Review of HB90 Bootcamp The Lightning Droplets review of HB90 Bootcamp, created by Sarra Cannon of Heart Breathings. Learn to create writing goals you can stick to using this planner for writers. This is a review of HB90 Bootcamp, a system for planning your writing goals, finding motivation, and creating a writing routine that lasts. This is a planner for writers but is also a planner that helps with depression and anxiety. #writinggoals #goalsetting #planners #mentalhealth #indieauthors

Writing can be lonely, y’all. It can be a very long slog with not a lot of recognition and no small wins along the way. I can be awash in a sea of ideas one day and swamped in petty author “to-dos” the next. Need to make an author website. What about that sequel to my memoir rattling around in my brain? Often, when I sit down I feel so overwhelmed by the amount of things I could be doing that I freeze up and do nothing at all. 

But I’ve found something that’s helping. It’s not a magic pill, but it feels like I am training myself to be more purposeful in how I spend my days, and making it just a little bit easier to sit down and get started. And I feel these little nudges making a difference.

What is HB90?

HB90 stands for Heart Breathings 90. It’s a 90-day planning system designed for writers and creative entrepreneurs. It uses a lot of psychological principles to help you keep motivated and take actionable steps toward your dreams. 

It includes a planner and a whole support and motivation system, with kanban boards, rewards, community for accountability, and a whole process to bang out your hopes and tasks for each quarter.

For me, this system works on two different levels. It’s nice to have a planner that is geared for writers, but the reason this works is that the process is based on proven principles from psychology. It actually looks a lot like cognitive behavioral therapy, but in the form of a planner (hello, markers and washi tape!).

Sarra Cannon, the creator of this system, is an indie writer who has published more than 25 novels. She’s also very open about the fact that she has dealt with depression and anxiety; this planning system was born out of that struggle. So HB90 is geared toward writers and creative entrepreneurs, but I personally have noticed that it is especially helpful in dealing with depression and anxiety. The system that Sarra has developed to help her through mental health issues is also helping me!

A Planner for Writers

HB90 is first and foremost a planner system that’s designed with writers in mind. There are pages to plan your work in progress and keep track of your word count, etc. A lot of Sarra’s videos explain things from the point of view of a writer, using writer’s goals and tasks as examples. But, I do think this would work for any kind of creative or entrepreneurial endeavor.

If you are trying to create a writing life, you know it can be hard to find the time, pick the projects, think about publication or marketing. This is a system that takes the lonely, scattered bits of being a writer and helps you shape them into a puzzle that can reveal your ideal life. 

It’s a planner that takes into consideration both the artistic side of writing and the goal-oriented business side, and creates a balance between the two. There is a part of me that feels like my writing is somehow sacred and should not be measured. However, I’ve found that, for me, the advantage of using this kind of goal-oriented approach is that it gives me milestones along the way down the long, lonely road of writing a novel so that I can see the progress I’m making and celebrate my wins. This has been keeping me motivated and more consistent in my writing routine, which is a boon for my creativity and the muse.

A Planner to Help with Depression and Anxiety

Sarra Cannon is graciously candid about her struggles with mental health issues on her youtube channel and also on her instagram account. Though the HB90 system is not specifically billed as a system that helps with depression and anxiety, I have found that it helps with mine, and I suspect that Sarra has developed this system as a way to deal with her own struggles. 

I have been working through the Cognitive Behavioral Theory Workbook (which I also high recommend to help with anxiety and depression) and some of the most practical and useful aspects of HB90–thinking of how to refill your well, identifying low-energy tasks, and taking time to really identify what you value, overlap with CBT. Of course, I’m no mental health expert and this isn’t medical advice. This link is pure conjecture on my part, but it’s helped me enough with my own mental health issues that I think it’s important to mention. 

What is HB90 Bootcamp?

HB90 Bootcamp is a seven-day course that walks you through a detailed process of envisioning your long term goals, prioritizing the things you need to do, looking realistically at your time, and creating a system that will support you in actually following through. It’s a course that teaches you step by step how to take on the HB90 method.

The course takes place over seven days, and each day contains a couple of hours of video and homework. The homework is all encapsulated in the planner that comes with the course, so it is very much like a workbook that you can look back on throughout the quarter. Each step of the way, the videos and workbook show you the reasoning behind the process and alternative ways to think about each step, which helps make the system very customizable. 

Things I Love about It

It actually comes with a lot. 

I have seen other five-day or weeklong courses that only come with a bit of instruction or work each day. This course comes with more than an hour of video every day, the planner, the facebook accountability group, a workbook to envision your ideal life, and a live kickoff call. 

The value in this really comes with the fact that you are then welcome to join every quarter. So every quarter, you can go through the process again, re-examine your goals and your vision for your life, and plan out the next 90 days so you can take the steps you need to to get there! 

The system is flexible. 

I have been doing the HB90 system for over a year now and every quarter I have been able to tailor it to my specific needs that quarter. I have done digital kanban boards, in-planner kanbans for when I travel, checklists, different kinds of reward systems. Each quarter I can see better which parts of it motivate me and which parts I can leave by the wayside. 

One thing that I really love about Sarra Cannon is that there are tons of levels at which you can engage, like just buying the planner, or following some of the planning advice on her youtube channel, all the way to going through the bootcamp.

It really does get better each time.

This is something I’ve heard Sarra say a few times, and I have to admit I rolled my eyes the first time I heard it. This month, I will be doing the course for my fifth time, and it really has gotten better each time. Each quarter I can say that my vision for my life becomes more clear, what I am trying to do and why becomes more clear, and the things that will help bring me toward those goals become more clear. 

What’s Difficult about It 

It asks hard questions.

Honestly, I struggled with whether to list this as a thing I love or a difficulty. The hard questions are good. Taking a big, eagle-eyed view of where you are and where you want to be is an important step in creating the life you want, but it is difficult. If I’m being honest, this has been the most difficult part of the HB90 course for me every time I do it. It really asks you to dig deep and think about why and how you are heading in the direction you are heading. And sometimes, the answers to those questions are uncomfortable.

It takes time.

The course is structured so that it takes about a week to complete, and I would say you do need that whole week. You could watch the videos all at once, but there’s a lot of thinking and processing between videos which I think is really important. 

You don’t necessarily need to do it at the same time as everyone else. In the Facebook alumni group there are often people going through the course the first week of the next quarter or several weeks after the quarter begins, and they still get the support of the group. However, you definitely need to set aside about a week’s worth of time to do it.

The Verdict: Is It Worth It? 

Sarra Cannon has a suite of courses for writers. In addition to HB90 Bootcamp, she also has a course called Publish and Thrive; you can read my review of that course here. The thing I find interesting about Sarra’s courses is that they are packed full of information, but what is really valuable about them is the way they empower you to envision and create a writing life that sticks with you long after the information is forgotten. 

So, for me, it’s been totally worth it. I was at a point in my life where I knew something had to change. Actually, I knew everything had to change, but I had no idea where to even begin making the changes. After a year of working with this planning method, I can definitely say that I am working toward the life I want on a daily basis and thinking often about the direction I’m heading and what I want my life to look like. That has definitely been worth it.
