At this moment there are just three days left in National Novel Writing Month. That may not sound like much, but it’s still 10% of the whole month. So if you’re still a little behind, don’t give up! And even if you aren’t able to reach you goal, don’t stop! Just write as much as you can by the end of the month, and try to write more next year.

Hopefully, some of you were able to catch up over the holiday weekend if you were behind. I actually did catch up and even worked ahead to reach my goal of line editing 50,000 words. Even though that’s not as impressive as it sounds–line editing goes fast–it’s still good to have reached it. So no matter where you are in your writing career, keep at it. In the end, you’re the only one who can stop you.
