Hot NaNoWriMo Tip #3

Everything you write this month during NaNoWriMo is more than you would have written if you hadn’t participated in NaNoWriMo. Every word, paragraph, page, chapter, and rough draft is a win. 

The point of NaNoWriMo is not to leave this month with a fully realized ready-to-go manuscript. There’s still going to be a lot of work to be done. The point is to get something down on paper and to have something you can work with. Getting started is an accomplishment.

So, relax. Take a breather. Give yourself a break. And be proud!

First day of NaNoWriMo was a success 💪🏽

Second day even better, at 5k!

National Novel Writing Month

Otherwise known as NaNoWriMo.

What is it?

As some of you know, and others were able to guess, it’s an event that starts every November 1st here in Internet Land where you try to write a 50k novel in a month by setting up a daily word count goal. There’s a website for the event, which you can check out here. You can sign up on the site to participate, but it’s not a requirement.

I am actually participating this year in a sense. I’m going to be using the month to finish the current draft of my novel, but for those of you who are starting one fresh, it may seem like a tall order. So, to help you guys out, I’ve complied some links from this blog and from others in the community. If there’s a post you really like that I missed, let me know. There are likely a ton. These are just some of the ones I had bookmarked.
