Unlock Your Creativity: The Secret Challenge Behind This Year’s NaNoWriMo Revealed!
What Will You Get Out of NaNoWriMo?
One of my guiding principles in life is this: “Never do anything without a reason.”
What’s your reason for wanting to enter NaNoWriMo? I can think of a number of good reasons a writer might enter. Here are a few of many possible answers:
- “I think it’ll be fun.”
- “It’s a challenge. I want to see if I can write a novel.”
- “I’ve been meaning to write a novel for a long time and I need some accountability. This will motivate me to keep putting words on the page.”
- “I was about to write a novel anyway, and entering NaNoWriMo will keep me disciplined through the holidays.”
- “All of the above.”
So what’s your reason? Write it down on a piece of paper and tape it to your monitor or the wall or wherever you’ll see it every day. It’ll help you keep on track after the glow of the first few days wears off. Try to come up with a good strong reason why you’re entering. The stronger the reason, the more likely you are to succeed.
