I’ve begun the process of trying to prepare myself mentally for a lower wordcount than last year. Mind you I wouldn’t mind writing 120k or more again, but I think I may be too busy with other things this November to aim for that.
I was talking about that to a friend last night when I realised that I didn’t write all that much last year, leaving out the three best days (good for over 40k between them) the total dropped to a mere 80k. Then I realised I’d said “not that much” and “80k” together. From which I concluded I probably have some more preparing for lower wordcounts to do.
Of course on the other hand if I get a couple of those days again, who knows what could happen…
