LiMoWriMo LiNoWriMo - November 2025 official thread

[Nikky Lee]

Here it is! The official thread for November 2025's LiNoWriMo! I've set up a Google spreadsheet that people can fill in with their progress (make sure it's the 2025 tab).

How it works:
1. Tell us a bit about the project you're going to focus on for November. (It can be any project, new or old)
2. Give us a word count goal you want to hit. (Going for the full 50k like the traditional NaNoWriMo? Or will you be happy to hit 20k like me? Or maybe you plan to edit or write a piece of flash fiction each day—the choice is yours!)
3. Keep us updated on the Google Spreadsheet.

Guess I better go first with this. I'm working on the end of my Rarkyn trilogy book 3. It's currently at 250k (yes I know ). I'm hoping to get 20k written or to finish the damn thing—whichever comes first.

I also have the audio of book 2 arriving in a week(ish), so I'm not sure how much proofing that will slow me down.

I'll be starting tomorrow (2nd Nov for me, 1st for everyone else) as I'll be out at Cirque Du Soleil tonight which is when I'd ordinarily be writing.

I feel a dunce, probably just tired, but I can't open the spreadsheet.

I'm polishing The Girl who Breathed Stories query package and want to query 3 agents per week.

I'm continuing with my web novel series, currently on Book Four, Chapter 5. Let's go!

Though I also can't seem to access the spreadsheet. Is there a link I'm missing?

I've got two projects for Noevember, niether too difficult, but both have been avoided for the last six weeks. One, i have an idea for five very brief chapters (fewer than 300 words, bringing the thing to a 42,000 word total) to sprinkle into my MG thriller Dead/Line.
Two, I've got to rework the final quarter of of my MG fantasy project, which is sitting at 36,000, will probably end that or a bit more. I know what I want to do, just have to type it.

Couldnt open the spreadsheet either. So echo RK.
I will be rewriting One Magic Summer which is now about 72k and would like to get it up to a sleekly efficient 80k.
And Nikki I would love to hear more about how you are deciding on the final edit of your audiobook since I am looking at trying my own.

Thanks Nikky!

The spreadsheet is now linked at the start of the thread (my bad – I fogot that when litopia pulls through media it does away with the link).

And Nikki I would love to hear more about how you are deciding on the final edit of your audiobook since I am looking at trying my own.

I'm got mine professionally narrated as I can't act to save my life and I sound like a bogan, neither of which is not particularly condusive for epic fantasy imersion However, when I'm proofing, I listen to the audio and read along at the same time to flag any errors - sometimes mispronounced words, words spoken too fast after each other, a line spoken in the wrong chatacter's voice, missing lines or words etc. I then send it all back to my narrator and she fixes those bits for me.
