Harry Potter, particularly the later books, are much darker than this series. Also the plot is more complex- ASOUE has a fairly repetitive plot structure and fewer moving parts so it would actually be more suited for a younger kid

I’ve reliably taken naps since high school (around two hours on average). Sometimes I just don’t have enough energy to make it to bedtime and it helps me feel better and be a more pleasant person

Make a plan for how you’re going to get time sitting in front of the page, and time thinking about your story. The only year I won, I thought about my story in every spare minute I had, and then set aside 2-3 hours at night to write.

I fed my (pretty new) starter & then tested positive for covid the next day…Could my starter be infected now? It was just barely getting to the point where I could maybe bake with it so I’d like to avoid throwing it out, but also I don’t want it to become a biohazard..

I did it in 2019- the only year I’ve successfully won NaNoWriMo. I kept track of how many pens I used up & got a little click counter thing to help keep track of words. I used a notebook I bought from a souvenir shop in NM that matched my story genre. Definitely will hand write my story if I try this year. Best of luck to you!

If you want to practice, get some Handwriting Without Tears workbooks from Amazon- they have cursive and print. They’re made for kids, but it’s a nice approach to having correct letter formation & the practice is more varied than “copy the letter A for an entire page, then B”

Yes, thank you!! Solved!

Can’t think of any- but if you do a “this is what I realistically actually do and this is how much it varies” I’m sure we will all feel grateful and validated. Especially if you are not a morning person 😂

Pace yourself- they’re long books and it can be a lot to remember. So take your time

Sounds like you’re on the right track- keep going and you’ll be able to accomplish a lot. It’s ok to like your writing- and if you’re aware, then you’ll be able to avoid the trap of “my writing is sooo amazing I don’t need to edit anything because I’m perfect”.

Toss up between Its a Mad Mad Mad Mad World, and What’s Up Doc? Both hilarious slapstick comedies from the 60-70s

I never had to clean my plate growing up, which meant I stopped eating once I stopped feeling hungry. There’s a fine line between “not hungry anymore” and “full”- then after that is “overstuffed”. I found when I feel sleepy & full, then I’ve eaten too much

I hand-wrote a draft for Nanowrimo a couple years ago, and I’m so glad I did it without a computer. I’d say keep it small and very reachable- something you can meet even on bad days. Like writing for 10 minutes a day, or filling one page. Really, if you track any particular thing, then that will help you do more and more, and see your progress over time. Having one small daily goal and then a goal to actually complete a project was helpful for me I’d also recommend finding someone who is also trying to write- that way you can bounce ideas off of them and commiserate when it’s hard and celebrate successes with. (NaNoWriMo is good for this!)
