This is perfect! I’ve pivoted to picture books, so NaNoWriMo doesn’t work for me. No picture book should be that long.

I need this! Been trying to draft my next novel WHILE maintaining a weekly Substack and doing storytelling gigs!

I'm in! I hope to write 500 words a day on the novel I started over the summer with the Blueprint challenge :)

This is great! I also don't want to do NaNoWriMo. I need to get my manuscript in shape. Yes, I need more words, but I also need a timeline and character sketches and to play around with structure. Those don't help with word count, still it's a lot of work. I'm in! Did my toggle.

Sometimes you're drafting, sometimes--most times really--other things. I think we kind of get caught up in the idea of drafting words words words...

Agreed. This is my first novel and I’m finding my way. Turns out there’s a lot more to it than words words words! 😁
