After last year’s win in November, I thought this year would
be a piece of cake. But of course, after two days, I was on a course to fail
NaNoWriMo. Between felling unwell and the pain in my wrists, I didn’t write
much. Even the braces I brought for my wrists didn’t help.
Yet, the last two days have been a breeze. In four days, I
will be back on track for 50k. If I keep up my daily goal, I will reach 75k by
the end of the month which is 25k less than my original goal of 100k. It doesn’t
bother me, since I can make it up during the first week in December.
For those of you behind, never give up! Keep writing until
the last day in November. After so many attempts this year to finish this
novel, I’m on track to have first draft done in 3 weeks. Push through those
times you don’t want to write. There is still time to reach 50k or 75k. Heck,
even 100k is possible.
Join sprints on Twitter, AIM, or go to a write-in. Their motivation
will ignite your own writing. Remember you are never alone, no matter what time
of the year it is. And that will always push you to keep going.

You are being encouraging. I'm also much more behind than I have ever been in the six previous years of doing this and winning. Hard to not feel that I am on a fail path. But I am looking at getting the daily word count back down to 2k which is my high but easy-peasy daily word count.
Just keep writing....
