NaNoWriMo 2021 Day… can’t remember…

26 November 2021 Diane NaNoWriMo, writer at work

Day 25, I think. And I can’t say Days 19 – 25, because I only seem to have done something yesterday, which was Day 25. So I’ll just claim that one. On Wednesday I submitted the final part of Ghostwriting

NaNoWriMo 2021 Day 11

12 November 2021 Diane NaNoWriMo, writer at work

5 November 2021 Diane NaNoWriMo

NaNoWriMo 2021 Day 2

3 November 2021 Diane NaNoWriMo

I’ve been using my own 10-project planner for over a year and it really works. But it’s also really basic as well as being really high maintenance. While I was looking for a word-count progress meter (see below and in
