Hello, Calwrimos!

Twinkle here with an important #NaNoWriMo message:

If you are struggling with your 50k words right now, *it's okay.*

This year is weird. This year is hard. This year has been trying its hardest to break us all down into our elemental particles. 1/5

If you are struggling, not only is it okay, it's understandable!

I hereby, as an appointed member of the #NaNoWriMo volunteer program, give you permission to write less, to not write today, to take it easy, be kind to yourself.

If you want to write, please do! Keep trying! 2/5

If you are tired, heartsick, and hurting... take a walk, drink some water, eat a food, talk to a friend, watch a movie.

Be good to yourself.

The writing will be there when you come back to it. The writing will always be ready for you to return to it. 3/5

Your body and mind won't necessarily wait, and you are more important than your writing.

I'm going to say that again for emphasis: *YOU are more important than your writing!* 4/5

I hope you're all well and taking good care of yourselves, your families, and that the writing is going smoothly.

If the writing isn’t going well… mine isn’t either. Sometimes it’s like that. It will come when it’s ready.

Sending you all socially distant hugs! 5/5
