Happy new moon, y'all! 🌚

(I only missed it by a day, so we'll just pretend bahaha.)

I hope you've had a WONDERFUL start to your November and NaNoWriMo (if you're participating). I hope you've found the groove of your story, that you feel closer to your characters more and more each day, and that you're excited to be almost halfway, EEK.

Things have been a little hectic over here. Maybe you've noticed the daily vlogs have stopped. (They had a good run!)

I didn't realize quiiiiiite how many doctor appointments I'd be having during November when I initially came up with this plan. (I thought there'd be one. There have been like five now bahaha. More to come, woohoo!)

I should stress that I'm fine! (Or, as fine as one can be while still searching for answers, but really, I'm fine.) I really like my doctor -- she's helped me find a new migraine medicine that is INCREDIBLE and works so well for me -- and definitely feel like I'm in good hands. 

But I do get ~anxious~ pre-appointments and it was hampering my ability to write until the appointment was over. The issue with daily vlogs is that if I don't start writing until AFTER my appointments, it just pushes everything back. I can't film what I don't write, I can't edit what I don't film, and I can't post what I haven't edited...you get the point bahaha.

So while I won't be posting vlogs daily, I am still filming!! My plan is to edit and upload when "milestones" happen...like today! 

Today I hit the 50K mark in Project Death!! 

(Not, unfortunately, for all of NaNo, the finish line is still quite a ways off for me lolol).

My stats for the month look a little wacky, but I'm still feeling confident that 2023 will end in a Win!

But you know what not having daily vlogs also gives me free time for?? STREAMING WITH Y'ALL!

So let's have a Halfway Hooray / Double Stream Day party!

Tomorrow, on November 15th, at 8:30am CST, we'll wrap-up the first part of the month together. You can find the link to that here. 

And then on Thursday, November 16th, at 1:30pm CST, we'll welcome Part 2! Like our own, mini reset (if you need it). You can find the link to that here. 

My goal is to have these on/near the rest of the major NaNo Days too (think the 20th, 25th, 29th and 30th, but more info to come.)

Please catch me up on how this month has treated you so far!!

Thanks y'all and happy writing! 🍂

Congratulations on hitting 50k in Project Death!! First week of NaNo for me was amazing. Then a work deadline got announced, and at the same time my son and I got sick. I haven’t written a word since like day 9. I’m out on a mini retreat today to see how much I can catch up, but my brain is not cooperating and I’m still sick. :( But I’m going to show up and try! I get it about the medical appointments. That was me in October , and Preprober just couldn’t happen for that same reason. I’m still trying to find answers about my chronic pain and why I get sick every two weeks or so. Good luck on your journey. ✨🫂 Migraines suck. 💕 We can do this!

Doctor stuff is grueling when you have health issues that necessitate a lot of schedule adjustments. It's good to give yourself the space to accept that it is actually a big thing. It absolutely takes up headspace that isn't available for writing (except maybe journaling but even then). Glad your migraine meds are helping!
