If you are planning on participating in National Novel Writing Month (NaNoWriMo), before November starts, clean off your desk and clean your house.
If you start with a clean environment, your muse will be free to soar. Things will get messy as the month progresses. That’s okay. Just have things neat and tidy to start out.
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.
