#Preptober: Prepare Yourself for the NaNoWriMo Challenge!

October 4, 2017

Hey guys!

That time of year has rolled around once again, it is time to prepare to write a novel in 30 days! With NaNoWriMo just around the corner (if you don’t know what NaNoWriMo is, I explained it in last years post which you can check out here) which means it’s time to flesh out characters, start building a world and get stocked up on as much caffeine as possible. If you read last years post, you will know that both Doreth and I attempted to complete the challenge of writing a full-length novel in the month of November. Quick update: we both failed miserably. Just like the year before that. This year I am on my own, Doreth is very busy with her new study so I will have to make do without my usual writing buddy. The question is: how on earth am I going to manage to actually stick to my goal and complete the 50,000 words?  Last years post was about how to prepare your novel, this years post might be even more important than that one. How to prepare yourself for the task ahead. Now I would recommend you take my advice with a grain of salt (maybe even an entire salt-shaker…) because I obviously have no idea what I’m doing. However if I actually achieve my goal this year, it might be a worthwhile technique. Only time will tell.

#Preptober: Prepare To Write A Novel In 30 Days

October 15, 2016

November is on its way and that means NaNoWriMo is nearing. For those of you who don’t know what this means, NaNoWriMo stands for National Novel Writing Month. The goal is to write a 50.000-word novel in 30 days! We have both participated and failed epically last year. Therefore we are in no way entitled to give anyone writing advice. But we like to live on the edge (sarcasm intended) and will give you our tips for preparing for NaNoWriMo.
