As for why I'm dedicated to doing NaNoWriMo again this year, well .... right now, it's a very good question. Yikes, yikes, yikes.
But I return to my reasons, as I shared them with you this year, Dear Reader.
Seven Days Left: Will I Finish my 50K Word Count?
And, I'm okay on word count. I'm close to 38K and that means I'm on track to win this thing as long as I don't slack off between now and November 30th.
But, yes -- tomorrow is Thanksgiving. Yikes, yikes, yikes.
If this were trial prep, I wouldn't fret one bit. I'd do it without thinking I might fail to meet the goal. If this was a client's project or a publishing deadline, I would not be concerned one iota. It would be done on time.
The Big Reward From This Year's NaNoWriMo
So, why am I pondering the possibility that I might not finish NaNoWriMo this year? Well, Dear Reader, this is one of the lessons that NaNoWriMo teaches me.
As a writer, I need to be my first and best client. I shouldn't prioritize my stuff over my clientele, but I should not consider my work as less important just because I'm writing it for myself.
I thought I had mastered this -- but nope. But I'm gonna. Maybe is the big reward that comes from this year's NaNoWriMo.
