Week two of NaNoWriMo was a lot harder than week one. I’m still on track to get to 50k by the end of the month but this week I suffered from writer’s block and I was super distracted this week. I’m at the point in my work in progress where I know where I want the story to go but I don’t know how I want to get there yet. I guess that’s the struggle that comes with being a pantser. Yesterday, I decided to handwrite some notes for the chapter I was working on and it helped but I still didn’t finish 2,000 words until 8pm. It was kind of a bummer because I wanted to finish my desired word count before Fear the Walking Dead came on but I finished a few minutes before I laid down for bed. My goal for this week is to get to 40k. I think I’m going to start handwriting more notes and hopefully that will help. I usually handwrite my stories first then transcribe them to my word document but apart from my ten chapters of outlining I haven’t hand written anything. Maybe seeing the blinking cursor on my word document is giving me anxiety and that is triggering my writer’s block. I’m going to test this theory and hopefully get to 40k by the end of the week! I managed to get to 33,135 words for week two.
