Well, I didn't finish the novel in November, but that's okay. (I will finish it over the next couple months but I'm not sure if I'll publish it) My goal was that if I failed to complete the novel, I could still consider the time used worthwhile if I came away with some takeaways that would help my writing process. And on that end, it was a huge success.
I learned a lot about what allows me to do my best writing. That's because all month I varied my work process to see what was most effective. Everything from how many words I expected in a single session without a break to how detailed my outlines and plotting need to be. I feel good about what I've learned and can't wait to apply it to some big nonfiction projects I'm starting up in December.
