NaNoWriMo23 Log #5

Yes, it’s December 1st so NaNoWriMo is technically over but I wanted to do an overview of how the month went. I’m currently working my way through a can of VooDoo Ranger so I’ll make this quick.

Overall, this was a very successful month for me. I got all of the articles I wanted to write done and I’ve established an alright routine. Now I’ve just got to implement that for the rest of the year lol. I didn’t hit the traditional 50,000 words but I wasn’t aiming for that anyways; I did get a good amount out though. I didn’t do much writing this week because I was so tired from writing, work, and trying to get my body into shape.

This month I’ll spend less time on the blog and more time working on the projects I wanted to work on in November, but I’ll still do a Christmas review.

As for the alcohol thing, this last week tested me only because work was stressful. It’s the end of the month so of course people are ordering parts like crazy and drowning us in work. Fortunately, my job is very much the “we’re your work not your family” type of place so there’s no guilt-tripping me to stay longer. Still, I really wanted to just relax with a beer this week and now I can. It’s bizarre how I can taste the individual notes of a beer after I spent the month away from the stuff.
