NaNoWriMo Goodies
A Cooling Mist Of NaNoWriMo-Flavored Novel Writing Advice
So, you're going to take part in National Novel Writing Month. Good for you. Excellent. As John McClane said in Die Hard: "Welcome to the Party, pal." Here, then, is a list of quick advice nuggets....

As always, Chuck Wendig is awesome at the writing advice. We're going to be having a bunch of stuff in here during November for National Novel Writing Month—whether you participate or not, we just wanna encourage you to DO THE THING you're working on. Kace and I will be posting our word counts at the end of the day, posting this and that, and maybe do a live chat every so often!




I'll be digesting beta readers' input and dive into more editing once that's done. Any personal tips to keep in mind on this next step of the journey that you guys have learned over the course of your writing careers?
Be reading every day while you're editing. Stuff outside your normal comfort zone. You want new words and ways of thinking rattling around your subconscious. I've found it helps, anyway. :)
The kicker for me is that I'm spending the first four days of November visiting family. EEK. I'll have some catching up to do!
(So I'll focus on glaring at you all sternly while I'm there!)
Can you eke out some writing time while visiting your family? I've found that a few minutes of writing away from everyone makes me much happier and calmer when I get back to visiting.
This is the first NaNoWriMo I'm looking forward to in a while. I'm not officially participating since my project is a novella, but I'm excited to still get words down with everyone else.
"Officially" participating is for jokers
I'm confused. Why does calling your story a novella prevent you from participating?
I'll be participating. It will be my 6th NaNo.
Very excited. Just threw out a brick's worth of word count on a novel to start fresh, so nano is perfectly timed. Good luck to everyone participating!
Good luck!
Hey, can we set up a pinned post to track word counts for everyone?
