How did I not know you had this Substack?!?! 😭😭 Anyway. Yes, NaNoWriMo...we have a love/hate relationship. It doesn’t suit my brain, either. I used to enjoy the community aspect of it but then that sort of fell to bits and I found community elsewhere.

I’m sorry you’re shelving the novel...but I mean, hey, you wrote some awesome words! perhaps one day you’ll pick it up again but yeah, 100% okay to set it down and move directly on to the next thing. 😎🥰

I’m shelving for a month - however since making that decision I’m still thinking about it!

So interested in what you have said about Nano. Good for you for being brave enough to leave the Novel and move on. As we know it will never be wasted, no writing is ever wasted. Excited to hear more about your November plans...
