NaNoWriMo can seem like a daunting task sometimes, for NaNo newbies and veterans alike. Fortunately, our NaNo Coaches are here to help guide you through November! Today, author Vera Kurian is here to share some tips for meeting your goal this month:
My debut novel Never Saw Me Coming came out a couple months ago, and while it was not a NaNo project, I did write it very fast over a period of about six weeks. I will preface this by saying writing faster isn’t necessarily better but if you are here, I’m guessing you’re someone who has enjoyed the frenzied feeling that disappearing into a piece of work can create.
My not-so-secret secret is that I am a huge, ardent, passionate believer in both outlining and having a specific task in mind when I sit down to write. I’ve realized over the years that this a good match for my lifestyle: I have a full-time career, an active social life, a dog that needs walking, and I go to the gym a lot. In other words, I don’t have a lot of time to waste. Whether it’s a short story or a novel, I usually have a sense of most of the plot before I begin.
Sometimes the only way to explain it is with a guilty shrug and a "it's a writer thing."
This blog is a collection of little things writers love, like, and loathe. We have prompts to inspire you, quotes worth spamming all your social media with, resources and research to enhance your writing, and writer problems you can facepalm about with the rest of us. So browse around and see what you like! Happy writing.
