Just hoping for at least 5000 words in UnicornWIP! I wrote just under 1000 words today, so hopefully I can keep up that energy!

#WeeknightWriters #FirstDraftFall If you don't have the time or the energy to write today, don't beat yourself up about it. Writing every day works for some of us, but it's not realistic for everyone - and for many, taking days off makes the writing days go better

Writing update!
I wrote 850 words on AnimalsWIP today for #FirstDraftFall
We're hitting our daily average so far! It's only Nov 3rd though 😅
I will likely not write at some point later this week to avoid burnout.

Woke up with a migraine and decided I'm not going to write today for #FirstDraftFall
I'd rather rest and see if I can make up for it with like 1k words or more tomorrow instead.

Writing update!
1k words today on AnimalsWIP for #FirstDraftFall
This makes up for a slightly lower count than I had wanted yesterday.
I didn't expect to get that many words in today. It just happened so I'm happy!

I started my first writing sprint of #FirstDraftFall for AnimalsWIP!
I created a Trackbear account as I have heard good things about it!
Will update my final word count of the day after another 2 sprints later.

I’ve been absent from #WeeknightWriters because I realize I’m too burnt out still to begin another work, so no #FirstDraftFall for me this year.
I managed to publish Hot Wings and Sauciness in September, and I’m gonna count that as my writing win for the year!
