As of today, Friday, November 18th, 2016, I have finally reached thirty thousand words for the first time in writing a novel.
It's a very exciting moment for me, as in all the attempts of writing a novel, this is the farthest I've gotten. I have written around two thousand words every day, making room in my schedule to write. It has been very cathartic and wonderful.
If you are thinking of doing NaNoWriMo next year, I highly recommend it. You can do it!
