There are less than 12 hours left in this year’s NaNoWriMo, and I think it’s safe to say that I have failed. I stayed on pace for almost 2 weeks but eventually just lost steam after completely exhausting my outlined materials. Total word count: 19,365. It’s 106 pages in Storyist, and a damn good start.

I’ve been thinking about embarking on the 101 in 1001 days challenge. Then someone suggested I make it 300 before 30. I am very intrigued. I have also decided (for the moment, at least) on fonts for my personal branding project! More on this later. Onto the plugs I wore for the past week:
