Okay, so this is for a potential experiment this month, but I wanted to know what y'all considered to be a "solid" amount of words for a 20-minute sprint when drafting for the first time! (Please only vote once this time!)
Also, I would love to know how you define a "solid"...

I pulled my neck last week and have basically been living on my bed or on the couch, which while not great for my actual word count, has been wonderful for brainstorming! So I'm finding the positives where I can and hopefully will...

Well, well, well. If it isn't almost the end of December (which is good because I've been thinking about 2022 ever since NaNoWriMo wrapped up bahaha). This last month of the year is always the weirdest blend of chaos, melancholy, music, excitement, joy, family, and overwhelm. It always f...

Y'allllll, we're so close to the end of the year! (Which still sounds wild to me. I know we're all going through this, but what the heck. How did 2021 feel simultaneously so long and so short?)
As promised, here are a few questions I have for y'all, relating to your writing and rea...

Hello, hellooooo!
Let's get some quick housekeeping out of the way: I am behind, so very behind on NaNoWriMo. But I still have a tiny smidge of hope that I can cross that 50K mark before November is up! And since the Double Stream Days have helped me so much in the past, I ...
