Blogspiration #25; You ARE Amazing.
Last year, while I was struggling through NaNoWriMo for the first time, I was in the presence of a brilliant ML who was really great at bringing people together and keeping them motivated. During our write-ins, we did a task where we took a word count out of the “box of doom”, which could have been something easy like 100-250 words, or it could have been monstrous like 800-1200 words, which we then had to write in 20 minutes. If you succeeded in reaching your word goal, you were given a sticker. Just a small, yet effective, reward to praise your efforts.
It is three of these stickers that I am highlighting today. They helped me last year and I love the meaning of them and hope that for anyone participating in NaNoWriMo, or well, just anyone else, it helps you a little bit too!
So, whenever you’re struggling to reach your goal, or just struggling to find the positive side of things just remember these three things;
Whatever you think you are, you are MORE than that.
Your Story Matters.
You are part monkey, part ninja, part stairmaster cyborg.
Because let’s face it, it’s true! You ARE Amazing.

This is lovely Faye. My brothers would particularly like the last one. Are you doing NaNo this year too?

Thanks Alex. I am doing nano, majorly behind at the moment but I got inspired last night so hopefully will catch up this week! :)

Ooh, ooh, can I ask you what your project is? Obviously, you don’t have to say, if you don’t want to, I’m just heaps curious :-)

Hahahah…I love this! I did NaNoWriMo ONCE and never again! *shivers* But I really love this. I wonder if receiving these would have helped me pull through.

This is so awesome! I did NaNo last year for the first proper time and I just loved it so much- I’ve passed the goal, the day before yesterday I think, and I’m about 60,000 words right now, though my last few days have been a little off. These stickers and this post are just awesome! I really wanted to get these last year and am so glad to see them again… maybe they still have them! Wonderful, inspiring post! x.

I am so happy to have read this today. All 3 stickers are things that I must remember and have faith in (especially that I am part stairmaster cyborg.)
