NaNoWriMo Survival Kit - Guide
Ah, yes! It's that time of year again — NaNoWriMo season! This means that for the entire month of November, you'll be dedicating time every day to your new writing project. While it may seem overwhelming, I'm here to support you through this journey.
What is NaNoWriMo?
"National Novel Writing Month, often shortened to NaNoWriMo, is a U.S.-based nonprofit organization that promotes creative writing around the world. Its flagship program is an annual, international creative writing event in which participants attempt to write a 50,000-word manuscript during the month of November." (via Wikipedia)
What can I find in this guide?
This guide is designed to equip you with the essential tools and resources needed to finish your novel within the next thirty days. Inside, you’ll find a calendar, set goals for reaching 50K words, planning worksheets for your narrative, and much more.
- Pages to write your before and after the challenge letters to remember your expectations and the end result
- A summary worksheet to give you an overview of your story
- A title brainstorm worksheet in case you don't have a name for your masterpiece yet or if you're not 100% satisfied with your current one
- A 3-act structure template to guide you through the main points of your new book
- Worksheets to keep an eye on all of your characters and their correspondent role
- A worksheet for you to outline every chapter of the story
- Of course, November's calendar! (with a place for you to write down important events that might keep you from writing that day)
- Word count for you to register the planned VS the written words (and a check-box to tick if you met the goal!)
Will you be participating in this challenge this year (2024)?
