I'm hyperventilating, I had never come this far without stopping for a while. What kept me going? Four things:
—A story I love, with which I had been dreaming and working with since months ago.
—TK, or the method of not doing research while writing, which I heard of on the first day of NaNoWriMo thanks to Tumblr.
—Group sprints on the Discord channel of NaNoWriMo Argentina. I had never written in group, nor had I done sprints ever in my life. Turns out it's just what I need to get writing. All my NaNoWriMo words so far are from sprints.
—Writing Analytics, a writing software developed by @writingdotcoffee . I can't tell enough awesome things about this. It's saved me, and the editing lock... I didn't know I wrote so badly on the first draft until I used that feature. My text looks like a monster. But I can't delete words. This has added immensely to my wordcount, and I'm keeping up with the NaNoWriMo schedule for the first time in my life.
Go check it out! It's free for all of November if you use a specific link the author has on his blog. Just look around.
