NO, it is not a drool dripping, crispy marshmallow crunching, humpbacked scale covered monster - but some writers find it just as scary.
How do you prepare for National Novel Writing Month? Do you outline? Do you collect pitches and polish them, maybe test them out in an online a pitch fest?
How do you keep yourself motivated when you start to think your writing isn't worth the effort? Of course if this happens to you please don't give up because all writing helps you develop your craft and first drafts are not supposed to be polished.
Do you keep a bowl of chocolate nearby? Have you collected pictures to remind you what your protagonist looks like? Do you have a writing buddy?
How brave are you? Do you plan to post your word counts daily or weekly or simply stun us all at the end of the month?
Whether you plan or don't plan, write alone or with a buddy, we'd love to hear how things are going.
And if you would like some help, check out the novel writing workshop scheduled for November 18 in Covington, GA - right in the middle of the month, perfect for a "pick-me-up" just when you need it. More details at https://southern-breeze.scbwi.org/events/novel-writing-workshop/
