Mondays are my favorite. A lot of people hate Mondays for a host of reasons, however, for me it’s always like sunrise, like dawn, a chance to get up and get moving, to renew or start a new.

Today, I find myself at odds because I am currently taking part in Nanowrimo and still haven’t written anything beyond 12,392 words.

I should be at around 23,338 words and most preferably 24,000 words but I am still halfway and easily distracted by other things like Dave Chapelle’s monologue on SNL and K-Dramas on Netflix. So, in line with new beginnings and the possibility of a strict regimen to accomplish the goal of writing fifty-thousand words this month, I am looking forward to:

• writing at dawn ( between 6:30am and 7:30am)
• writing before I go to bed between (9pm and 10pm)

I don’t know how well I’d adhere to these timelines, because I struggle with consistency when it comes to my writing and it’s the one thing that makes NanoWrimo such a daunting task, because I write sometimes mid-work breaks, or as I read a book and come across a line or phrase that I love, sometimes in a matatu- so just sitting down and getting my mind to know that ‘hey we are writing now,’ is a struggle.

That’s all for now on my writing updates.
