NaNoWriMo Series: Writing Tip #1

Setting clear writing goals is a fundamental step in any writing project and plays a crucial role in the writing process. Every writer, whether a seasoned author or a novice, starts their journey with an idea. At this stage, there are two paths set before you that will define your destiny. Which will you choose: The Planner or The Pantser? If you want to choose the path of The Planner, you may want to follow this tip and make some achievable goals to guide your way throughout the month. Here are some questions to ask yourself to help you get started:

1. What is my idea?

2. How long do I want it to be?

3. What kind of form do you want this story to be in?

4. Is this something that I can write in a month or will it take longer?

If you want to learn more NaNoWriMo tips, check out the 30 Days of Tips that will unfold this month. Can't wait? Then check out my mini-course on The Basics of Storytelling that's available for $1. I look forward to seeing you in whatever form I appear. Until next time.
