National Writers' Month
Website
This is where across the country and maybe even the world, where writers, attempt to write 50.000 words in the month of November.
I have never done this before. I am going to attempt it this year.
50,000 words break down to 1.675 words a day.
I think that is doable for anyone. If nothing else, just write until you reach the word goal.
I am going to shoot for 2,000 words a day. I am just rounding it up and be easier for me to keep track of my word count.
I have done a few things to get ready.
1. I know the story I want to write.
2. I know the view point and the characters. (I already have character charts and settings and time line done.)
3. I have a file created. Looks like this:
Chapter 1
Lizzy
Travis
Bobby
Mandy
Chapter 2
Lizzy
Travis
Bobby
Mandy
In this book I will have 4 different viewpoints so each chapter will have 4 viewpoints, which is not a typical romance novel format. But I am going to do something different. This will be book 3 in my series and I need all their viewpoints to make the story work.
So on day if I just want to write about Bobby, I can just go to his name and write his viewpoint. I can jump around and write the end if I want and then go to midpoint, or whatever. The point is to write everyday at least 1.175 words.
What are you doing to prepare for next month????
