Every November that I set out to do NaNo, whether with new or old material, instead of collapsing on December 1st, I find my momentum is still charging ahead. There is a story to be finished! I hope you feel the same after the last month of work and discovery.
Whether you end up trying to revising a polish the story you were working on for publication or not, I hope this madcap adventure helped you to find out more about yourself as a writer. If anything, that setting goals and working towards them brings more of a harvest than not setting goals or working hard.
If you feel like sharing your total word count for November in the comments, I'd love it. My writing project was more of a third draft than a first, so word count was sketchy. The point was I accomplished a lot and came closer to my long-term goals.
I've often used NaNo as a tool to garner more writing time. Yes, some of it has been about revising, more about the hours spent than the word count. But the same tactics I've shared over the past month still go into play whether I'm working hard at a second draft or a first. Next year I hope for new material.
That aside, what tips and tricks (whether from me, someone else, or your own creativity) did you find the most helpful? Would you do NaNo again?
Best of luck with your continuing journey as a writer.
