All Your Words Matter

Now that Nanowrimo is done for another year, how did everyone do?

I managed to write over 11,000 words. I'm happy with the word count because I know it's the start of something great.

The thing that I learned from Nano is not to over think what you are writing. When you start to edit before the words hit the page, you set yourself up for frustration and disappointment.

When you write like everything you put onto the page matters, then you are in that state of mind where you can be honest with your story.

Stop thinking about it and make every day a Nanowrimo day .
