My plans for this November

Hey everyone! This November I’m joining NewNoWriMo 2025, and honestly, I’m both excited and terrified. The goal is to write 50,000 words in one month - that’s about 1,667 words every single day. It sounds crazy, but I’ve always wanted to write a sci-fi novel, and this feels like the perfect time to finally do it. My story idea is still kind of messy, but it’s about a group of astronauts who discover that their ship’s AI has its own secret mission. There will be mystery, loneliness, and probably some space explosions. The hardest part for me will be sticking to a routine. I usually get super motivated for a few days, and then I disappear into YouTube or just stare at the blinking cursor. To fight that, I’ve made a few rules for myself: - Write every morning before work, even if it’s only 300 words. - Don’t edit - just write. Typos are allowed. - Reward myself with snacks and coffee when I hit word goals. I’m also joining this discord server for motivation. It’s nice to know that lots of people around the world are struggling with the same blinking cursor. By the end of November, I might not have a perfect novel, but I’ll have a story that didn’t exist before - and that’s pretty amazing. Wish me luck!
