NaNoWriMo Tip -- be different on 12seconds.tv

National Novel Writing Month (NaNoWriMo) is the time to try different things. This year try changing your writing style.

If you usually write detailed outlines, try plotting as you go. You may find the freedom that you have been lacking.

If you usually write by the seat of your pants, try doing an outline. At least, define your plot’s turning points or write some scene notes on index cards and pull them out when you get stuck.

NaNoWriMo is a perfect time to see how the other half lives. Try it.  You might surprise yourself.

Write on,

NaNoWriMo Tips on 12seconds.tv

You know I’m a big fan of National Novel Writing Month (NaNoWriMo). You may know that I’m also a big fan of Twitter. You probably don’t know that I’m a big fan of Twitter’s video cousin, 12seconds.tv.

Twitter is a great way to get over your fear and jump into blogging 140 characters at a time. 12seconds.tv is just that, videos

that are 12 seconds long. 12 seconds uses your web cam, cell phone, or video camera. It’s a brilliant idea that puts video in everyone’s reach. Anyone can get in front of a camera and talk for 12 seconds.

If you put your Twitter account in your profile, the URL for your video is Tweeted automatically. It’s a wonderful way to combine two great services.

To show you that anyone can do video, I’m going to combine 12seconds.tv with National Novel Writing Month (NaNoWriMo). I’ll post 12 second NaNoWriMo tips here.

What will you do with your 12 seconds?
