The project I'm working on was a NaNo from like 2010 (can't recall exactly), and it is the second in a series of books I wrote; yet I wrote it third and I also experimented with my process and it's taken me two years (sporadically) to get this book back in some semblance of order. I discovered I missed key plot points and went off on a huge like 15k tangent that was not worth keeping (it's been put aside for whatever I'm not sure). But I have more than 6k written to fix all the problems and probably need another 20k. Then I have to start revising another book. If I can get these two books revised and out to beta readers by December 1, I will have met my goal. And I will never ever experiment with my writing process. It is what it is and that's good.
I've been in a writing drought since about 2016. I would dabble, get some spurts and then not touch things for weeks, sometimes months. Then pick it back up. My life has gone through huge turbulence sine Dec. 7, 2016 and it feels like I'm getting my groove back.

Once again, NaNo helps me focus and I'm grateful.
