I will never shut the fuck up about soft, love-sick gojo and you will hear me talk about it till the end of my days. when he falls in love he falls hard. I actually believe that if he managed to open his heart up again (would take years of trust and is probably the slowest burn of slowburns) that he would love like crazy. makes sure his partner lives the dream life of comfort and love. There is no small show of affection, he’s a loud passionate lover.

6 NaNoWriMo Strategies Every Creative Writer Could Use

Are you joining the National Novel Writing Month competition this year? You’ll have a better experience if you start November with a plan in place. Use these NaNoWriMo strategies to understand what you want from your upcoming month of writing.

1. Set Your Word Count Early

We’ve all been there. We sit down to write and no matter how much we get done, it doesn’t feel like enough. It’s a shared frustration in the creative writing community and it can really hold you back from your NaNoWriMo potential.

Decide on your word count before the month begins. You’ll know what goal to aim for while you’re writing and when you can feel good about your progress. (All progress is good progress, but the 50,000-word NaNoWriMo goal is more manageable with small goal posts.)

These are examples of some word counts you might enjoy. You can always reset them as November continues if you feel like they’re unsustainable or less than you can accomplish:

  • To reach 50,000 words by November 30: 12,500 words per week or 1,667 per day
  • To reach 25,000 words by November 30: 6,250 words per week or 834 per day
  • To reach 10,000 words by November 30: 2,500 words per week or 334 per day
Tip: Find your word count with these formulas: [Total Word Count] divided by [# of weeks or # of days in November] Optional formulas: [Total Word Count] divided by [# of days you’ll have time to write] [Total Word Count] divided by [# of hours you’ll have time to write]

2. Outline Your Month With Writing Goals

Imagine that you need to buy a car. The car of your dreams is worth $30,000, but your desire to buy it won’t make $30,000 appear in your bank account. You have to work and set aside portions of your paycheck each time you get them.

Incremental progress leads to big goals, as long as you stick with them.

They’re also easier to accomplish if they’re specific.

Take some inspiration from SMART goals. They’re Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, and Time-Bound. You can make one of your own for NaNoWriMo to make it easier.

Here’s an example:

Not a SMART Goal: I’m going to write a novel in November.

A SMART Goal: I’m going to write 50,000 words by the end of November by writing 1,667 words each day.

A SMARTer Goal:  I’m going to write 50,000 words by the end of November by writing 1,667 words each day. To do that, I’ll write for at least 2 hours every evening from 8:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m.

A specific goal outlines exactly when you’ll write, how much you’ll write, and when you know you’re done writing. It paves the way to your success, especially under a short time frame like NaNoWriMo.

3. Schedule Your Writing Time

Take control of your time this November by scheduling your writing time. Get a calendar if you don’t already use one and write down everything you need to do that month that isn’t about creative writing. Your calendar will probably look like this:

  • Class periods
  • Work hours
  • Extracurricular commitments
  • Time saved for friends
  • Time spent sleeping
  • Time reserved for holiday plans (if you have any)

When your calendar has everything that would happen during November without NaNoWriMo, see what time slots are left for your creative writing.

It may seem a bit over-the-top to schedule a creative session down to the minute, but it’s more helpful than winging your progress. You’ll know exactly what’s the best time to write each day, which likely won’t be the same for all 30 days in November.

Your calendar will also make it easier to make plans. If you know you’re free from 6-7:30 p.m. on a Saturday and your writing time starts at 8:00 p.m., you can feel free to make plans with friends during that time. You won’t spend NaNoWriMo feeling like you have to push your regular life away just to participate in the novel writing event.

4. Save Time for Self-Care

Even the most well-planned and scheduled writing goals will zap your mental energy. You’ll keep up with your goals more easily if self-care habits restore your body and mind.

Consider activities like these make you feel relaxed and refreshed:

  • Walking
  • Baking
  • Coloring
  • Reading
  • Knitting
  • Journaling

The best activity will be something that’s low-energy, within your budget, easy within your available time frame, and aligned with your individual interests. If you don’t have any self-care ideas in mind, explore a few before November starts. A new hobby or even sitting in a warm bath may help boost your mental health so you’re ready to get back to writing the next day.

5. Give Yourself Grace

When you feel ready to go with NaNoWriMo tips and a schedule, take a deep breath. If you meet your goals, great! If not, that’s great too.

NaNoWriMo isn’t about finishing a novel. It’s about learning how you write best and boosting your confidence.

Sometimes, we learn about ourselves through failure. You might not meet your writing goal every day. You may not even finish your overall goal. If that happens, reflect on what kept you from reaching that finish line.

You might spot a tendency to procrastinate that you can work on. Maybe you set an overly ambitious goal and need to practice setting realistic goals for yourself.

The things you learn from your upcoming NaNoWriMo experience will help your creative life and your personal life, but only if you give yourself the grace to learn from them.

Try being flexible if you don’t hit your word counts. The day you aren’t able to write 500 words could come the day or week before you write 1,000.

Never forget to reflect on why something happened. Introspective work is challenging, but it’s the best way to grow. Let yourself flourish next month as a person and a writer.

6. Celebrate Your Wins

Every win is worth celebrating. Maybe you want to write 10,000 words in November and only write 1,000. That’s 1,000 words you thought about, felt, and put on paper. Incredible!

If you don’t meet a single goal, you still got to practice setting them! And you’re going to learn from your mistakes, which is one of the best life skills to have.

Daydream about what celebrating means to you and plan a few ideas throughout the month. Don’t wait until November 30 to pat yourself on the back. Celebrate by doing whatever makes you happy, like:

  • Going out for an ice cream cone
  • Getting a new incense stick for your next writing session
  • Picking up a new book from the library
  • Sleeping in an extra half hour on Saturday
  • Walking through a home goods store just to marvel at things
  • Singing your favorite song at the top of your lungs in the shower

-----

Keep these NanoWriMo tips in mind while you prepare to join the competition this year. You’ll have a much better time when you understand how to use each hour to your advantage while caring for your mental health.

If you like what you see, please consider using the tip feature on my posts! I run this site for free, but will always appreciate the financial support. 💙

Writing a romance scene between friends-turned-lovers

1. Build Tension and Chemistry:

Start by creating a strong foundation of emotional connection and chemistry between the characters. Show the reader why these friends are perfect for each other.

2. Use Inner Monologue:

Reveal the characters' inner thoughts and feelings. Allow readers to see their internal struggle and realization that their friendship has transformed into something more.

3. Subtle Gestures and Glances:

Describe subtle physical cues such as lingering touches, longing glances, or an accidental brush of hands. These small actions can speak volumes about the characters' growing attraction.

4. Dialogue:

Develop natural and engaging dialogue that reflects the characters' personalities. Use humor, vulnerability, and sincerity in their conversations to convey the depth of their emotions.

5. Setting and Mood:

Choose an appropriate setting that complements the romantic mood. Consider factors like lighting, ambiance, and the time of day to enhance the atmosphere.

6. Build Anticipation:

Slowly escalate the tension and anticipation as the characters become aware of their changing feelings. Tease the readers by delaying the moment of confession or physical intimacy.

7. Show Vulnerability:

Let your characters open up to each other, sharing their fears and insecurities. Vulnerability can be a powerful tool in a romance scene, making the characters relatable and endearing.

8. Physical Descriptions:

Provide sensory details when describing the characters' physical appearances. Highlight what makes each character attractive in the eyes of the other.

9. Create Realistic Obstacles:

Introduce obstacles or doubts that challenge the characters' path from friendship to romance. Overcoming these obstacles can make the relationship feel more genuine.

10. Build to the Climax:

Slowly build the scene to its climax, whether it's a passionate kiss, a confession of love, or another significant moment. Make it emotionally charged and meaningful.

11. Emotional Impact:

Ensure that the scene evokes a strong emotional response from the readers. Let them feel the characters' joy, relief, and excitement as the friendship evolves into romance.

12. Aftermath:

Show the aftermath of the romantic scene. How do the characters feel afterward? What changes in their relationship? What are their hopes and fears for the future?

13. Consistency:

Maintain consistency with the characters' personalities and the development of their relationship. Ensure that their actions and words align with their established traits and the progression of their bond.
