Body Doubling My Way to 50,000 Words
I just passed the middle of the month and I’m sitting at over 35,000 words. I’m happy with that although I know I need to step it up if I’m going to reach my personal goal of 80,000 (yes, I know the NaNoWriMo goal is 50,000 and I’m on track to a successful month). I… Read more
