aceaceaceaceThe first five days have passed, and I am behind already! :o But only slightly! I'm not worried.
I'm really glad that I decided to aim for 30K instead of 50K because I truly don't have much energy. Usually, at this stage of NaNo, I'm excited and eager. I sit down to write first thing in the morning to knock out a bunch of words and then knock out the rest at night.
But what's been happening is that I get NO writing done in the morning and do my best to meet my word goals in the evening, staying up late. :/ The last few months at work have been busier than usual, so I think it's partly due to that. Hopefully, I will gather more energy as the month goes on. I scheduled a bunch of PTO to help revitalize me--and ideally, get a lot of writing done on those days off too.
Anyway, this is the current status of everything:
trans!Ateez: 982 words this month
Yuletide: 496 words this month
Ateez Bingo: 1555 words this month
johnmark fest: 868 words this month
minkey OFD: 905 words this month
TOTAL: 4806 words this month
None of the fics are giving me too much trouble, although the Yuletide one has definitely been the slowest so far. I expected that though since it's the newest fandom for me. I fully expect to hit a wall soon on the johnmark one and the minkey one since I'm running out of pre-planned scenes. I'll probably go for a drive tomorrow and see if I can have some creative breakthroughs on where to take those fics before I come up against that wall.
To anyone else who is doing NaNo, I hope things are starting off well for you!
In other news, I've been watching Seventeen in the SOOP and having a very relaxing time with it. I wanna go with some friends to a cabin in the woods and write...

Ah, I love the countryside, so cottages and walking and writing suits me to a tee. But you could just do the cottage and writing and skip the outdoors bit. A country cottage with a roaring fire in the dead of winter is a glorious place to be
