That's it. We are literally on the final countdown of NaNoWriMo, and as of this morning, I have exactly 4,500 words. I'm on track to finish—but I'm looking at a very busy week in school.
So how will I—and maybe you—cross the finish line?
You just do.
I know that sounds too simple, but the truth is, I can't possibly come THIS far and give up. Not with 500 words to go. Not with an ending that's begging to be written. Milestones to be celebrated. A NaNoWriMo "I finished" badge to collect.
You can't give up either.
I love this quote from author William Faulkner.
For as long as I can remember, I've wanted to be a writer—but throughout November, I have been writing. In three more days, I'll have a finished short story. I will have written.
That might just be the motivation I need to carry me through to the end. What about you?
Gotta jet! May the words be with you!
