How to Survive NaNoWriMo - Part 2
Dive into NaNoWriMo with the mindset to keep going. Passion for your story will get you started, but dedication and discipline will force you to keep writing.
Plan to have a finished product that makes sense. When you’re trying to write a chunk of words every day to reach a goal, it can be easy to get off track. Answering WHY a character is doing things along the way will help with this along with your outline.
Try to avoid ending your writing session at a place where you feel stuck. Rather than stopping when you're stuck or tired, stop in a place where you are excited to write what's going to happen next, or when you know exactly what is going to happen next.
Have a friend join you in NaNoWriMo, so you can hold each other accountable for your goals. Talking about writing and your ideas with someone else can encourage you to keep going.
Put together a writing playlist dedicated to your project. This can help you feel motivated from the second you sit down to write. Get those creative juices flowing!
Hope this is helpful to any writers planning to join in on NaNoWriMo 2022! 🤎
