Update on NaNoWriMo 2021: Day 3 

As many of you know, NaNoWriMo began on November 1. 

Guess who got sick November 1? My 3.5-year old daughter. 

Being a single mom means she stays home from preschool with me. 

I didn’t get my word count in on Monday.

Or Tuesday.

Or today.

Luckily, I pre-wrote enough to sustain me these three days; however, my cushion is almost depleted. 

Three days in and this might be a bust… but I have the whole month to try to catch up. 

Wish me luck? 

Note: she was tested for covid and it came back negative. She has an upper respiratory infection, likely from some other kid at preschool whose parents sent them in sick. 

All I really care about is that she’s healthy. Writing can wait.

While she’s on the up-and-up, my word count is on the down-and-down. Not sure if that’s a phrase, but it seems applicable here.

Anyone else struggling right off the bat? Or just me? 

Hoping everyone else’s NaNo is going better than mine! Best of luck to you all.
