NaNoWriMo · December 1, 2020

NaNoWriMo Day 30

Well, not only has November come to an end but so has NaNoWriMo. I cannot believe that I won with a couple of days to spare. There were days where I didn’t think I would win but I did! It’s been such a wonderful month and I have learned so much about me! 

Here’s what I have learned: 

  • I fell back in love with writing
    • I haven’t written this many words in one project in about three years. That is huge for me. 
    • This has been such an amazing journey and I have now realized that this is why I fell in love with writing to begin with. I am so, so glad that I decided to give this a go.  
  • I need to have an outline to write my stories. 
    • I love having an idea of where my story is going to go because I don’t like having to come up with things randomly. 
    • I did change some things as the story progressed but they were minor details. 
  • I need to practice writing in different tenses to get better at them 
    • I love, love writing in first person but I wanted to try writing in third-person/limited past tense and in the view point of my MC and LI. 
  • Practice makes perfect 
    • I need to write consistently to become a better writer. I know this sounds self explanatory but I believed for too long that I wasn’t a good writer. However, this was just the imposter syndrome talking.   
  • I need a writing routine and incentives 
    • I write best at night but I need to have a routine that helps me finish a manuscript. 
    • I also love, love having incentives for the writing that I do. I need that to push me forward. 
  • I can’t write while watching a movie/show/YouTube video 
    • I simply need music, preferably movie soundtracks, to get me to write more words. I tend to get distracted which is never good for actually getting words down. 
  • I love writing by hand 
    • I knew this already but it was nice to get the confirmation 
    • This was also a great excuse for me to get new writing supplies 
  • Voice to text is amazing for NaNoWriMo 
    • While I used voice to text to get words down quicker, I prefer writing by hand

One of my personal intentions for 2023 was to work One of my personal intentions for 2023 was to work on using affirmations more in my daily life. They’ve helped me calm myself down during anxious moments and moments of low self esteem. I have definitely noticed a shift in my self image by repeating affirmations often. 

That’s why I’ve decided that every month I’ll share affirmations I’m trying to embody!

Hi! My name is Akchita and I’m the creator behin Hi! My name is Akchita and I’m the creator behind this account! This isn’t how I thought I’d introduce myself, but keeping up with this account has already proven to be difficult.

It hasn’t been difficult because I don’t know what to post or I haven’t gotten the graphics made. No, it’s been difficult because I can’t get out of my own head. 

I keep thinking that trying to create content isn’t the best idea for me. I keek thinking that I’m not good at this even though I’ve barely tried. 

So, this post is me trying to get out of my head! It’s a commitment I’m making to myself and to you that I won’t give up trying!
