NaNo - tips n' stuff

Why hello, dears!

I'm (oh, the wonders of using abbreviations!) taking another break from novel writing to send you a quick update :)

My current word count: 17,267
The chapter I'm on: 12

It's going well, I think... I am a bit behind, but I reckon I can get the word count back up over the next couple of days :3

Tips for NaNo:

  • Drink LOTS of water, it'll clear your head.
  • Set goals, and take regular breaks (e.g. when I get to X amount of words, I will go and watch 10 things I hate about you)
  • Early morning writing can really work! Set your alarm earlier than usual and write for an hour before starting the day properly.
  • And finally, have fun. I cannot emphasize this enough!! NaNoWriMo is for fun, so don't worry if you don't get to 50,000 words. As long as you tried, you've achieved something. :D

I hope some of these tips have helped you in some way!!!
