NaNoWriMo Tips & Tricks

It's officially time for NaNoWriMo! I want to preface this by stating I am not saying I am this NaNoWriMo expert and you should listen to all my tips and tricks because I am all knowing writing master. However, these tips are ones I've accumulated and followed throughout the years that have helped me. I have participated in 7 NaNoWriMos and  I've won 4 and I have participated in 3 Camp NaNoWriMos and won 2. So I have had some failures. However, these tips have really helped me stay on track when I keep them in mind while writing. I also have some advice on how to help you increase your word count! Which I'll add after the general writing tips.
Let's dive into all the tips I recommend!

November Wrap-Up

This is where I talk about how the month went for me when it came to reading and some events that maybe sparked me to read more (or stopped me from reading as much as I wanted to). I also link all the reviews I did in the month, talk about any books I DNFed, discuss my plans for the following month, and give updates of my life.

NaNoWriMo: Week Four & Wrap Up!

NaNoWriMo is over for the year 2017 and here are all my thoughts and feelings on how the final week and month as a whole went for me! For anyone who is unsure what NaNoWriMo is, it's a yearly challenge where you're encouraged to write 50K words in a month because that evens out to a short novel length. So you're basically writing a book in a month. Each day the goal is to write 1,667 words a day till the end. I have been participating in NaNoWriMo for seven years now but I have only "won" (which means I wrote 50K in the month, it's not an actual contest to win a prize. The prize is your novel.) three times. So it's challenging, but I am taking it more seriously. For more information I recommend checking out their website, www.nanowrimo.org.
