NaNoWriMo 2024

Spread the love

National Novel Writing Month (NaNoWriMo 2024 for short) is every November. The goal is to write 50,000 words during November. There is also Camp NaNoWriMo in April and July with the Now What in January and February. It’s a free site that can be used all year to track your writing.

NaNoWriMo 2024

Right now I have 4 goals for different books or writing options. This month, I hope to write 50,000 words for blog posts. I have so many post ideas and things that I NEED to post. So, finally expect posts from my Michigan trip, 52 week gratitude challenge I’m starting this month, Red Rock, and Valley of Fire. I bet there will be more but this is the starting point.

The first goal is a book idea that I have been thinking about for a while. I’m not sure about the title or if I want to want to do it. I go back and forth on it. The goal for this is the outline.

I have a secret project that I have a goal of 25,000 words, but I have already written 15,000 words. I can’t wait to share more about this. There are a few people who I have told about this and the feedback has been good.

I have always loved to write, and I’m starting to do more of that. Anything that I wouldn’t post here, I post on substack and medium. I am also doing a prompt challenge this month where I write for 10 minutes, rest/reread for 2 minutes, and edit/publish for 3 minutes. I’m using Deadlines for Writers 365 prompts.

I’m really excited to make writing more of a habit this month. The goal is to write every day, but I think most of the writing will be done on the weekends. Stay tuned for updates and thoughts at the end of the NaNoWriMo 2024.

We got there around 6:30pm, and didn’t leave until 9:15pm. The website says the walk will take about an hour, but you can go at your own pace. There are so many lanterns in each animal exhibit.

We started going through the Asian Trail, there was year of animals. The Africa section was my favorite, but I am not going to tell you why. But it was a nice surprise, and I was way too excited.

There were hands on activities throughout the zoo, but by the time we got to some of the areas it was closed.
-make your lantern
-paint rocks to be placed around the zoo
-tattoos
-music each night

What are your “musts” when traveling? Let me k What are your “musts” when traveling? Let me know in the comments! 

These are the things I always have when I travel: (arrow down)

1. Spare credit card/bank card - I typically bring this, but before my last trip my regular bank card got hacked. Now I make sure to always have 2 cards with me. 
2. Portable charge/power banks - I have a charger that I keep in my car all the time. It's a 4 in 1 charger, but I also have portable charge that I keep in my bag. It has come in handy more times that I can count for me and other people. 
3. Reusable water bottle - I have my Stanley when I am driving. While I am hiking I use either a water bladder or a hydroflask. 
4. Reusable Bags - My favorite is the Mary Kay roll up bag. It has 4 plastic bags that holds everything I need for my morning/evening routine and shower time. 
5. Books - I will most always have a physical book along with my kindle app. I love to read. During my hikes I stop throughout for snacks and reading. 
6. Wet Wipes - My favorite is HyperGo because they have so many different scents. They are also 12x12 so usually 1 works for the whole body. 

In the reel - Things I won't travel without
