In this episode of Riding Shotgun with Dirt Road Books, Jove Belle chats with Andi Marquette about all things NaNoWriMo.

Andi’s tips for NaNoWriMo prep!
register (org)
set a schedule (write it down or put it in a reminder app)
find your regular writing space
tell your friends and family what you’ll be doing in November
start organizing your thoughts with regard to your project
And have a look at these links:
Chuck Wendig’s 25 tips for NaNoWriMo writing (Chuck is irreverent and engages in swearage, if you’re of the faint of heart, but he is spot-on with his mentoring and advice).
And check all the tons of resources at the NaNoWriMo site.
For organizing the nuts and bolts of your novel:
If you’re visual and like mind mapping try the MindNode app/platform (alternatives to MindNode for PC HERE). If you’re more a list-y person, try Trello. Or go ol’ skool and use a white board or the J.K. Rowling method, which is to use notebook paper.
Remember, this is about learning your process, getting some words written for a draft of a novel, meeting new people, learning new things, and having fun!
