That’s awesome. I think it is important to have realistic expectations while trying to stretch the writing time. I’ve liked switching it up to longer form fiction after writing short stuff for awhile, though I do like both approaches

010

Matthew McGuirk @mcguirkmatthew.bsky.social · 27/11/2025

Sounds like good advice to me! I haven’t done NaNoWriMo before, but have liked the consistent writing it has allowed me

Matthew McGuirk @mcguirkmatthew.bsky.social · 27/11/2025

My current write for this month is a dystopian novel. I write kind of all over the map though, but mainly literary with genre elements. Character driven horror, character driven science fiction, etc. I also like to write poetry as well. How about you?

Matthew McGuirk @mcguirkmatthew.bsky.social · 27/11/2025

🔥that’s awesome. I’m approaching 40k currently

That’s awesome, congrats! That’s very exciting. Over the last couple years, I’ve definitely found novel writing to be a little different experience for me than short story writing. I think taking a little break the revisions is a smart idea!

Matthew McGuirk @mcguirkmatthew.bsky.social · 24/11/2025

Still cruising along through the weekend! Now I’m at 35,268 words heading into a shorter work week. How is your #NaNoWriMo story going? #writers

That’s good insight, good to hear from a vet on the novel in a month process!

Currently Ray and Carly, but who knows if the names will change as the story continues to progress. Ray is the narrator is dealing with personal+internal conflicts+societal ones. I’m liking how the writing process and story are coming out so far!

My current work is a novel that I started November 1st for National Novel Writing Month. I would call it a literary text(character driven) with a dystopian lean, setting, elements, etc.

Matthew McGuirk @mcguirkmatthew.bsky.social · 20/11/2025

Another good milestone for the writing in November for #NaNoWriMo I’m up over 100 pages and over 30,000 words. My official word count is 30,244. How is your writing going? #amwriting

That’s cool everyone has their own process! Normally I write when everyone else is sleeping. I normally write a chapter or around that or so, at least that has been my go to for this month and that has worked well. With shorter fiction, normally I write the story in a night.

Matthew McGuirk @mcguirkmatthew.bsky.social · 19/11/2025

Hey, Here’s my daily update on my writing progress during #NaNoWriMo I’m at 28,516 words in November. #amwriting How is everyone else doing? Have you seen a difference in progress during the week vs. the weekend?

I’ll be writing a little later. My writing process takes place at night. I’m about half way or so through if I had to estimate. I’ll be trying to get another chapter in tonight. How about you?

That makes perfect sense to me. Probably won’t have the most polished product, but will have something
