GIVE IT UP FOR DAY 15

Word sprints and Word Wars with your regional buddies or buddies in general will save you. 

Get as many words under your belt as you can in the first week. You’ll be thankful when things get cranky later on. 

Never edit or delete. I MEAN IT. Editing will be for December - January - February. 

Write something bad. Write something terrible. Keep it. Put brackets to remind yourself that it’s unfinished business if you want. DO. NOT. DELETE. IT. 

You want to rewrite a scene? Good. Do it under the first one. 

DO. NOT. DELETE. 

Accept the fact that you won’t have a Novel by the end of NaNo but 50 000 words on a page that you’ll need to go over and work on. 

On the days you don’t want to write: write anyway. Write 100 words. Or write 50. It doesn’t matter: write them.

With regards to the DO NOT DELETE – if you’re like me and can’t deal with multiple versions of a scene all in the same document, simply move all the bits you don’t need to a second file. That keeps the original clean and keeps the old work safe for word counts. NaNo isn’t about having a stellar finished project, after all, so it’s not about what you revised and kept. It’s about all the words you put into it in the first place to get it done. Can’t think of how you want to word a bit of dialogue? Yeah you could sit there and mull it over, or you can write out every iteration of it you can think of until one feels right.

My sister used to skip entire sections if she was getting stuck or if she thought it would take more research/time than she wanted or if it risked boring her, so she’d write THEY TRAVEL TO XYZ or BIG ACTION SCENE GOES HERE and then just keep going with the parts that interested her. I’ve had people write a couple lyrics in their piece to remind their future self what sort of mood they wanted to rework a scene with, what might’ve inspired a bit of action and whatnot.

If you’re not active in the NaNo forums but you have twitter, I imagine twitter’s NaNo & amwriting tags will be full of writers announcing & doing writing sprints. If you can’t find them or you like working alone, set your own sprints and give yourself rewards for tackling them.

me:

-His wife ditched him and asked for 900k a year,

-He was sexually assaulted which he said kicked him into a deep depression

-He stated that the stunts from the 3rd Mummy movie completely destroyed his body and he was in and out of the hospital for 7 years even having to get surgery to repair his vocal cords.

-He apparently blamed himself for all this which only worsened his depression.

Compare with this image from the GQ article last February:

Proper lighting, professional setting, good angles etc.

wings: “humans don’t like things they can’t understand, so if we’re going to levitate we should have wings. in fact we should probably have lots of wings, since we’re so big and impressive. humans like wings”

loud, booming voices: “fuck off Azrael the humans needs to be able to hear us.”

glowing: “no no no, it’s about visibility, right? the main human sensory organ works by detecting light, so if we emit light…” 

wheels: “why the hell are you shaped like that?” “piss off, the humans are really proud of this invention”

multiple faces/eyes: “it makes me relatable” “i swear to God it doesn’t–” “i need to see in every direction” “Azrael you are a supernatural messenger of god you do not need–” “THE HUMANS NEED TO KNOW I’M WATCHING”

multiple limbs: “humans have lots of limbs! they like limbs” “look i let you keep the wings but–” “how do you expect me to walk?” “70,000 feet is not a reasonable number of feet, Azrael!” “fuck off i’m ENORMOUS”
