National Novel Writing Month of Craziness


As a writer, whether or not you're participating in NaNoWriMo, it's a good idea to write every day. I loved what James Patterson had to say in his pep talk... "Most professional writers keep this kind of pace all year round. Holidays, birthdays, vacations—you name it, we’re writing. The trick is making writing into a daily habit. Same time. Same place. Same hot beverage of choice. Every. Single. Day. Again. And. Again." ~ James Patterson

You can read his entire pep talk here

If writing is what you love, what you want to do for a living, then writing daily is the key. So set a goal and then DO IT.  

My goal this November is to write 100,000 words. Yeah, I'm doing double the NaNo. 

What about you? What are your writing goals?

  1. My goal is around 75,000. I've used these WriMo to write first drafts of my novels and 50,000 words isn't quite long enough. Good luck with your goals.

  2. I can't even imagine that many words in a month.

  3. I never skip a day but I don't think I could write 100K in a month. That's an impressive number.
