I’m partway into using Nanowrimo in just such a way as you encourage--as a way to change up the writing routine and build some momentum, no matter how small.

Really appreciated listening to the way you wrap words around this, and also around connected issues we may run into along the way such as perfectionism and project dysphoria. I love how you bring the recent guests’ messages full circle to apply them practically in this particular challenge.

Love hearing this update, and I'm so glad the episode resonated. There's a lot to be gained from programs like this, but the rigidity certainly has downsides we need to be aware of. Happy you're building momentum at your own pace!

I loved this episode + how you recognized perfectionism can make committing to NaNoWriMo difficult/complicated (thinking about word count stresses my brain out). I will be aiming to get into a routine of writing 10 minutes before bed for November instead 🤍

Yes! Courtnie, I love this. It will be so satisfying to see that movement without burning out in the process. Keep me posted!
