Well yesterday I read up to chapter 34 then realized today I should go back and start from the beginning and of course I found some errors in my revised edition of the fantasy book I’m writing.
So now I’m up to chapter 10. Taking a break for a bit . Kind of tired . I am actually on my iPhone to post this update lol

Schnujo's Doing NaNoWriMo?

You're posting from your phone? Yuck! I hate posting from my phone! You're hardcore!

Good luck with the editing and revising. If you do it right, you'll always find ways to improve it...which might seem a bit counterintuitive, but I'm pretty sure it's accurate. Though errors are different from improvements.

But as for improvements, I believe those are virtually never ending.

Good luck! You got this!

Editing can be difficult but in a lot of ways it's good because then you're rereading your book and you change the wording or you change the sentence so yeah it could be a pain in the but it could be a pain in the **** but it's good it's good😊

Are you going to be participating in NaNo (AKA NaNoWriMo AKA National Novel Writing Month) this year? The official site is https://nanowrimo.org but the (unofficially) related activities on here are "October Novel Prep Challenge"

for October to help you flesh out ideas so November goes more smoothly and "The WDC NanoLounge"

for those who are up for the challenge...though you might have to be successful in the prep to participate in the WdC NaNo Lounge...I can't recall.

For the official NaNo, there's no punishment if you fail and a few virtual rewards if you succeed. Some of the sponsors offer free or discounted things for you to test out during NaNo and more free or discounted things for those who actually hit 50k words in the month of November. FYI, that 50k isn't supposed to be a finish novella. It's just the start of a larger project. You are NOT supposed to edit during November. That's what December, January, etc. are for.

I won NaNo in 2019 (hit my 50k), but haven't touched it since.

Anyway, it's just a fun activity if you are looking for a challenge.

Have you heard of it or do you plan to participate?
