That\u2019s not nearly where I need to be at this point.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>I know I could make it,<\/strong> if life were different. In past Nano\u2019s I\u2019ve hit much higher word counts than 50K. But this year it seems that is not to be.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Which makes me a NaNo Rebel!\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.wikiwrimo.org\/wiki\/NaNo_Rebel\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">NaNo Rebel<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">is anyone who doesn\u2019t conform to the standard NaNoWriMo guidelines for a project, which include fanfiction, fictional memoir, and short stories among other acceptable works.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Rebel projects include nonfiction memoir or books<\/strong>, scripts, graphic novels and of course anything less than a 50,000 word goal.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">My rebel status might be temporary. I mean there is a chance, however slim, that I might pull my word count out of the tank and finish strong, but it\u2019s unlikely.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>It\u2019s more likely that I\u2019ll finish with about 30,000 words<\/strong>, or less, and be happy I got that done. Because any words, even 5, are better than none at all.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So why am I a rebel this year?\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I\u2019m glad you asked!\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>In years past, when I\u2019ve met or surpassed my goal<\/strong>, I was in a different life space.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One year I was a stay-at-home mom and had far more time to devote to writing.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One year it was because my sleep cycle got discombobulated and I was waking up at 4AM, long before the family was up. I needed a quiet activity to focus on and fill the time. You can get a lot written in the 3 or so hours before your kids wake up.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And one year I spent a good portion of my day sitting in a library while my daughter worked there. With little else to do, I brought my laptop along, found a quiet corner, which is surprisingly easy to do at a library, and wrote.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This year, that\u2019s not my reality.\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>My kids are grown<\/strong>, and driving themselves to work and school. My sleep cycle more or less matches that of the world around me. And, for the first time in my adult life, I\u2019m working and have to answer to other people&#8217;s deadlines and expectations.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This is how I\u2019m managing that adjustment.\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I\u2019m forgiving myself for not having the time and energy to commit to NaNo that I\u2019ve committed in the past.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I\u2019m older, my life has changed, and my writing skill has changed.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>I\u2019ll be honest, that 100k I wrote one year was 75% crap.<\/strong> Of course I didn\u2019t realize that at the time, but I know it now. What I\u2019m writing now, while not perfect, is cleaner.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Kind of like if you washed your car off with the garden hose and no soap&#8211; after driving through several deep mud puddles.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Yeah, that kind of clean. But it\u2019s okay, because I\u2019m learning.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I\u2019ve also started some freelance work and freelance work comes with time commitments and deadlines that I can\u2019t ignore.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>I love the work.<\/strong> I love that I\u2019m building a name and reputation for quality, reliability and depth. But those words I write for other people take away from the words I can write for Malcolm and Jillian.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I\u2019ve taken an outside part-time job for some extra money because of recent changes in my personal life. And again, that takes time and energy that I can\u2019t give to my characters.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It\u2019s all OKAY, because I forgive myself and cheer what I can get done.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So join me! Be a NaNo Rebel!<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Use this time to outline, develop your characters, or plot scenes.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>If you can\u2019t do NaNo this year,<\/strong> forgive yourself, focus on your life, which is far more important than a random word count in a busy month. There is always next year.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Plan to join CampNaNo in April and July, which both come with the caveat that you can set your own word count goal.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Whatever you do,<\/strong> remember that ultimately, you are writing for yourself. If you aren\u2019t enjoying the writing process then you should step back and figure out what needs to be fixed so you can enjoy it.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If life intervenes with children, pets, family emergencies or work, it\u2019s okay. Some years life needs us to be more involved than others. Take care of yourself. Be gentle and encourage yourself.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>How are you doing with NaNo?<\/strong> Are you being a Rebel this year?
