The Novel Nurse Wrimos group, which is largely dormant from February through September, got a facelift!
It is now the Novel Nurse Community Café, the official group for Novel Nurse supporters to sprint with each other, ask each other for tips when in a jam, and to help one another along your writing journeys!
From October through December, we focus on NaNoWriMo support, and this page supplements that project.
For starters, here's a helpful post with 7 tips on how to Succeed at NaNoWriMo Every Year.
Write-Ins
Calling all NaNo writers! We're writing in completely online this
year!
Join us in the Novel Nurse Community
Café for a virtual writing session using a Facebook Group Room. My camera will be on, but yours doesn't have to be.
Draw motivation from your community and get some writing in, plot, edit . . . you
name it. Angie Wade from Novel Nurse Editing will be there as well, to work and be there for anyone who needs support or a listening ear. These write-ins happen every Tuesday in November for NaNoWriMo this year. While you can work on any
project you have on your plate, it will also be a space to help you work on your November novel.
We'll be doing a few 15 minute sprints every session and plotting help / brain
stretches in between. The dates listed below are also links to the Facebook
event on that day. Be sure to RSVP so Facebook will remind you to join us. I can't wait to meet you!
Schedule:
all write-in times are from 8:00 p.m. to about 9:15 p.m. Eastern Time
Monday, November 2
Monday, November 9
Monday, November 16
Monday, November 23
Monday, November 30
In support of the indie author community, and of all writers, I send a contribution to NaNoWriMo every year. And I want to see your badges!
NaNoWriMo is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that wants to support you and your creativity. For the month of November, they challenge you to write 50,000 words and clock your work with them.
Succeed in their November challenge and show me your badges! I offer 20% off Stitches and Story CPR packages every year for winners of that year's NaNoWriMo. It's my biggest (and sometimes only) discount of the year. Want to participate but prefer a different package? Email me!
Whether you would like to get an editing package or not, feel free to join the group writers in the Café! At the end of the year, we focus on NaNoWriMo. The group is an open forum where writers feel comfortable asking questions and receiving constructive criticism when they ask for it.
Join by clicking the button below. And happy writing!
Word Goal Sheets - Free Printables
These printables are designed to help you stay on track for any novel you have a deadline for (particularly NaNoWriMo). Each of them have their goals set differently, so be sure you grab the one that best fits your writing style.
Blank
This sheet has no goals written in, so you can set your own! If you want to write on certain days of the week, are planning to take off Thanksgiving week, or want to work your goal around your work schedule, this one is for you.
1,667 Daily
This sheet has the same word count goal for every day of the month—1,667 words. If you are planning to average the same number of words every day (maybe with a sprint here and there to get ahead or to catch up), this one is for you.
Strong Start
This sheet has the heaviest goal on day one and gradually decreases the daily goal as the month progresses. If you know you will have a strong start and prefer a dwindling goal, this one is for you.
