Stages Of Writing A Novel
Start writing a post

I signed up for NaNoWriMo this November, where writers across the world strive for a goal of writing 50,000 words in one month. I signed up so that I could proudly say I'd written a novel, and it has been a whirlwind.

Excitement to just write

Giphy

Oh my gosh, look at all the words I wrote today! This is going to be a piece of cake.

Falling in love with your characters

Giphy

These characters are so perfect!

Being social

Giphy

"Hey, person walking by, did I tell you what my novel's about?"

Nervousness

Giphy

Will I have enough words?

Full-on panic

Giphy

I literally have no plot and I'm 4,000 words in already.

Snacking

Giphy

Maybe I just need some energy for a good idea to strike...

...We go back to being social...

Giphy

"Hey, excuse me random stranger, what would you do in this highly specific situation?"

Confusion

Giphy

Y'all, I got 50 pages of words and I can't find the spot I need to work on.

...And, back to being social (why are there so many people?)

Giphy

"No, really, I don't think you're going to want to read this. It's pretty bad."

Exhaustion

Giphy

December 1st, involved taking a long nap.

Separation Anxiety in Pets

Since March, Covid-19 required most of the world to quarantine in their homes. Majority of people ended up working from home for nearly five months. This meant pet owners were constantly with their pets giving them attention, playing with them, letting them out etc. Therefore, when the world slowly started to open up again and pet owners began returning to normal life work schedules away from the home, pet owners noticed a difference in the way their pet acted. Many pets develop separation anxiety especially during this crazy time when majority people were stuck inside barely leaving the house.
