Join indie authors Crystal Hunt and Michele Amitrani as we share ways to save time, money and energy as you level up your writing and publishing career.

National Novel Writing Month (NaNoWriMo) is a great way to tackle that writing project that has been nagging at you for the past year, or ten! It doesn’t really matter if you have successfully written a 50,000 word manuscript before or are brand new to writing and have a few hundred words that might be the beginning of a great idea; in the end, working towards something is always better than staring at a blank page.

In this episode we list the many things you can do with your finished (or half-finished) manuscript. We share ideas of how to keep the NaNoWriMo energy going, and debate when to push further and aim for a polished product or when to simply recharge your batteries. Sometimes it’s best to sit on your manuscript and let it rest for a bit, at least until you know it’s the best you can make it and you’re ready to send it out into the world for feedback.
