Our yearly NaNoWriMo streams are back, starting with the traditional NaNoPrep/Preptober drop-in stream for chatting, sprinting, and sharing tips on how to prepare for The Big 50,000.
THIS STREAM HAS (OPTIONAL) HOMEWORK BELOW THE CUT!
If you can, the best way to prepare for NaNo is to write out everything you do in a day, in as much detail as possible. I like to go for 15-minute chunks and pick a weekday. Honestly and nonjudgementally record every single thing you spend time on in a single day, and we’ll look together to see where you can fit the writing in during the stream. I usually use a piece of notebook paper, like this:
(The above entire segment of text and image are from 2022's Preptober stream.)
Alternatively (or in addition!), ask yourself: what are you working on this year? What do you hope to achieve, and to what extent is it linked inextricably with the 50,000 word goal? How have your experiences with these sorts of challenges changed in accordance with your circumstances, and what do you think you can expect this year? How do you think things might go awry?
You don't have to do any of the above, but if you do, we'll have so much to talk about—and won't that be fun!
My computer was broken for the past ~2 weeks, turning it from a crummy laptop to a crummy low-powered desktop.
Thanks to a knowledgeable friend, replacement parts, and some kick-ass epoxy, Falleg Saga ís back in action and I can finally have my writing field trips again.
