Three tips from NaNoWriMo
Ten tips, five tips, three tips: these are all pretty popular lists in the writing world. So, what three thins did I learn from NaNoWriMo?
1. You can write 50,000 words in 30 days but to do so you need to abandon editing, perfection and fear.
2. If you're stuck, get the characters talking. The conversation will take you somewhere.
3. There are lots of ways of writing apart from being a planner or a pantser. NaNoWriMo opened my eyes to the possibilities of producing quantity as well as quality. Of course to get the quality bit requires more work, but the initial conversion of blank screen to words is done.
