My NaNo Wins
I’ve been participating in NaNoWriMo for ten years now (!!), either during the month of November or during one of the Camp NaNo months (April and July). And I can tell you that fast drafting has been really effective in helping me silence the inner editor and explore a new story idea. But I have the best success when I do a little bit of planning before November 1. So I’m going to share my prewriting technique with you in a series of seven mini-lessons, then give you four drafting challenges during the month of November. We’ll wrap up with next steps, including an introduction to my revision process.
