After years of hearing uneducated opinions about National Novel Writing Month from people who have never tried it, I'm making NaNoWriMo the topic for this week's stream. Wear good boots, because I may step on a few toes as we walk through all the reasons you SHOULD try NaNoWriMo, even if -- especially if -- you think you can't, and then all the things we SHOULD NOT expect of our favorite month of frenzy.

The Many Uses of NaNoWriMo (and what it's really not good for)

Writing is only part of a writing career -- no one warned us that we would need business acumen and entrepreneurship to be an author. Whether you're traditionally published or an independent self-publisher, it's good to have a leg up on accounting, marketing, time management, and other key skills.These recordings of live discussion on craft and development, on business best practices, on explorations of fascinating and inspiring real life cool stuff, and more will help you along your writing journey and career development. Join Laura VanArendonk Baugh as she shares what she's learned and what she's learning. (Or join the weekly live discussion with your own questions!)
