Hang in there Novelists ~
FINISH LINE AHEAD!

November 30th, 2017
50,000 words!


BLOG SESSION
November 28th, 2017


Good Morning Blog Readers, Writers, Novelists, and Visitors ~ This is going to be a beautiful day!

We're heading towards the finish line of our Novel writing on NaNoWriMo.  As you begin to look over your Novels and do bits of editing where needed, you'll also be inputting any additional chapters to your Novel in the next couple of days.  We have two more days to go (not including today) ~ what an adventure this has been, and we're not done yet!

If you had a chance to look over the material and information in the Forums online at NaNoWriMo, you probably learned a lot more than you thought you would.  In our last Blog Session, we spoke briefly about Book Covers.  In one of the Forums, there is information about "30 covers, 30 days".  If you are signed up on NaNoWriMo, you'll be able to check out all of the Forum topics, and this is one you should take a look at.

You should also check out the Forum on "Site & Message Board Feedback & Suggestions".  On this Forum, you can share your comments and ideas for the nanowrimo.org site and NaNo forums so that improvements can continue to be made.

If you are new to all this NaNoWriMo business, which is a great insightful way to work online with other Writers like yourself, it is just fine, because we all have to learn about NaNoWriMo at one point or another if we are Writers.  National Novel Writing Month ~ which is what NaNoWriMo stands for is an event that happens every year during the month of November.

If this is your first year participating, please don't make it your last.  Keep your writing going all year long by writing on your own, and also telling others about NaNoWriMo.  Some of the Writers here on the Blog have met other writers while doing NaNoWriMo.  There are Virtual Write-Ins, and also Regional connections to be made for all Writers who are interested.

For all the "Newbies" to NaNoWriMo, there is a Forum specifically for you where you can introduce yourself and your project.  You'll find this to be a gentle way to start your NaNoWriMo experience.

The overachievers who go beyond the 50,000 word mark can talk online in the Forum, "Beyond 50k".  This Forum is the home for all of the overachievers.

There is no need to stop at the 50k mark if your writing is flowing better than you expected.  If this is the case for you, you may want to check out the Forum, "This is Going Better Than I'd Hoped".

For those of you who are in College, you may want to check out the Forum, "NaNo University", which is for those of you who are facing the challenges of College life while being an active Novelist.  On this Forum you can find tips and tricks for surviving lectures while meeting your word count.
Wearing the Novelist cap has its advantages


If you have had a life-long dream of writing a Novel, just do it!  You'll surprise yourself with what you come up with.  When you read your Novel over, you will wonder where all of the good stuff that Novels are made of came from...well from YOU of course!

If you have it in you to write, you will not rest until you complete your mission.  We'll be back here on the Blog for another great Session ~ we'll be waiting here for you Novelist.
