Particpating NaNoWriMo 2016
Well I have news to share, I am attempting NaNoWriMo next month. Well I am attempting NaNoWriMo in a few days, November 1 is next week Tuesday. I am going to write the Sixth Culling.
I am nervous and excited about attempting this, and honestly very unprepared and intimidated.
The last few days I have been watching YouTube videos about NaNoWriMo preparation, novel outlining, character development and writing tips.
Here are few suggestions and advice resources that I have found helpful:
The NaNoWriMo blog (obviously):
The Write Practice NaNoWriMo Workshop
YouTube:
Search NaNoWriMo and NaNoWriMo 2016 and a lot videos will pop one. This one was one of the first ones I watched.
So I am excited, I am still preparing, I am not quite there yet but I have six days to go to get there. By there, I am fully prepared and ready to tackle writing a full length novel.
Is anyone else participating? Any first timers? What about the NaNoWriMo veterans, any tips or advice to share?

Best of luck Chantel. I considered it this year, but as usual, things got busy quickly. Keep your eyes on the prize, and 50,000 words later, you’ll be glad you did. Cheers!
