Your1 Nightmare

Haven’t finished your story? Keep writing! Take the momentum from the month and work in finishing it. Even if you only wrote the first sentence, that is more than what you started the month with. Maybe by the end of December you will have a finished book!

Tomorrow is the last day! Getting excited about tomorrow is a great way to motivate you today. Make plans and use that momentum to write today. You are near the finish line, use the excitement in your favor!

Its possible you have reached the end of your story, and yet still haven’t reached your word word count. What happens after your resolution? Where can it go from there? Keep writing as if the story isn’t over. Maybe you could discover that there is more to your story.

Having a hard time writing a scene? Write a few sentences of the beginning, even if you don’t know where to go with it. Getting something down can release the floodgates and just let the scene go. Don’t worry about those sentences being good, just let them be the spark to get you through.

We are nearing the end of NaNoWriMo and many of you may be behind on your word count. Don’t go increasing your daily word count, just keep to that 1,667 words per day. If you go over it then great job! Increasing the bar you have to reach will only make the monumental task of writing even harder. Don’t make things harder for yourself.

Your schedule has become jam packed, or you have some catching up to do. Time to make a date with yourself to cut some time out of your schedule for yourself. Light some candles, eat a good meal, and get into some comfortable clothing. Then just start writing! Get in the writing mood, remove distractions, and treat yourself.

We are in the last seven days of NaNoWriMo! Don’t be worried if you don’t finish, just get as much as you can done. You can continue after NaNoWriMo. You have done an amazing job so far!
