NaNo, 東京 Style

Know what's difficult? NaNoing on my own when I have gotten very used to NaNoing with a lovely group of support and competition for the past few years. There have been a couple meet-ups here in Tokyo, but I've been unable to make it to them, and it's really difficult to find the motivation without the goal of showing up at a couple meetings a week and having the most words.

Other things that have made it difficult:
- Starting the month off with a holiday in Kansai, making it difficult to start writing immediately.
- Coming back from my holiday and being super tired and, therefore, not wanting to get up in the mornings before work to get some writing done.
- Being busy at work and, therefore, being too tired to stay up late writing when I get home from work.
- Having plans, like, every weekend in November.

But I'm trying my best. I may be way behind, but I think I know where I want to go with it, which does help in inspiring me to make more time for writing.
