The title says it all. <\/p>\n

Since 2005, I’ve done NaNoWriMo<\/a> (AKA National Novel Writing Month) nine times, skipping years 2006 and 2009. Of those 9 attempts, I’ve won 8 times, and lost once (writing just over 31000 words in 2014). <\/p>\n

\"NaNo<\/a><\/p>\n

Notice that in 2013 I wrote WAY MORE than 50,000 words. That was the year I rented a cottage for a week for a solo writing retreat, during which I wrote 40,482 words in 6 days.<\/p>\n

\"NaNo<\/a><\/p>\n

As you can see, this year I had a great start and then fell apart in the second week, forcing me to work extra hard in the second half of November to catch up and win. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
