I'm going to be using #FirstDraftFall for tracking my work on bringing together all my notes into a draft for the #TTRPG Actual Play book this November.
If anyone is looking for alternatives to NaNoWriMo or other means to track your word count & cheer ppl on this month—I compiled about twenty different resources for novel-writing in November (including some Bsky hashtags: #NoAIWriMo + #NovNov + #FirstDraftFall): jdscott.substack.com/p/nanowrimo-...
