5 Ways to Make November a Great Writing Month Even if You Aren't Doing NaNoWriMo
In this episode, I discuss 5 ways to make it a great writing month even if you aren't participating in National Novel Writing Month.
1) Keep making consistent progress towards your end goal of whatever you’re working on at the current moment. Don’t give up. You are so close. Recognize you may need a few more months into the next year to complete your work.
2) Reflect on everything that you’ve accomplished so far this year. Gratitude fuels growth.
3) You can’t do it all. Stick to your writing schedule. It’s going to get hard to stick to your writing schedule around this time of year, but it will be worth it. Schedule time for rest. It’s okay to have an off-day or a couple of off days.
4) Start dreaming of next year’s writing goals. I find that it can be really motivating to dream of the future to accomplish the work in the present.
5) Use this month to evaluate if your WIP is going somewhere. If not, change it up. Do you need a break from it? Do you need to work harder on it? Are there other ideas that can be accomplished in a way that is more fulfilling to you?
*Bonus tip: try journaling. You might get some really great story ideas.
“Write for your reader self, not your writer self. Write your book like you’re the person who’s going to read it. Remember the fun bits, the juicy bits, the stuff you linger over in other books. The good stuff.” -Holly Black
I created the Turn Write Podcast for beginning writers, indie authors, for people who are looking for their voice and who want to know how to use it. The idea for this bite-sized podcast came to me as I sat in endless traffic commuting an hour each way to and from my 9-5 job, wondering why do I write? Why do I rush home every day with the agonizing hope of trying to string together meaningless words to create a feeling deeper than I could dare hope to describe? Well, day after day I kept thinking and there was only one answer: I loved to write. I am on a journey to becoming a published author, and I want to help you get there too.
