Something word-sprinty this way comes. Is everyone ready for November 1st?

If you are still on October 31st, how are you feeling? It's less than 20 hours until November across the entire world, who is excited?!?

All of you pantsers are like, “Bold of you to assume I have an outline.” I am in awe of your ability to write like that.

Ahem. Welcome back, Wrimos, to the most fantabulous event of the season, the one and only NaNoWordSprints! Who's ready to kick off an amazing November?

If you’ve done NaNoWriMo before, what’s the most helpful advice you’ve ever received about making it through the month?

Polish your sprinting shoes, tie your laces tight, and proceed to the starting blocks... NaNo is coming...

I'm curious where everyone is from?
I've seen Amsterdam, California, New Zealand... I'm from Michigan. Wave your flag and say hello.

For those of you anxiously waiting for November in your part of the world, how is your prep going? Who's planning and who's pantsing?

Who are your furry, scaled, or feathered writing buddies? I want to see them since this is my furry friends themed sprint block.
Here are my fur kids. They don’t actually help support my writing but they sure are always there.

Remember,
#nanowrimo
is a marathon, not a 50-yard dash.
So if you need to sit out on a sprint or make sure you're getting enough sleep, please do.
The important thing about NaNo is that you're having fun and enjoying yourself.

So tell me, fellow October dwellers: how are you spending your final pre-NaNo hours?
I'm here, and then I'm cleaning up and figuring out my novel. You'd think I would know something about it since it's a third draft. You'd be wrong.

I’m working on a new first draft this month. What are you all working on?

PSA: All inner editors should be confined to the designated areas.
Thank you for your continuing cooperation. Carry on.

and 2) If you're really worried, don't stress about 50k. Each & every word you write in November is a victory. You're awesome & we love you.

If you’re a day or two behind, here’s a mental trick. Don’t tell yourself, “I need to write 3000 words tomorrow to catch up!” Just reset your daily goal—divvy that extra day or two up over the entire rest of the month, instead of trying to do it all at once.

Hello! My name is Smokey. I’m guest sprinting, because my mama said if I wanted snuggles, I needed to sprint for her. And I always want snuggles.

If it’s not November for you yet, what are you gathering outside of your writing materials? Snacks? Special candles? A good-luck charm?

96
NaNoWriMo didn't start because anyone wanted to be the next great novelist, but to see if anyone could write a book at all.
The original 21 discovered yes, they could, and you and I can too.
Whether it's your first NaNo or your 20th, I hope you experience that joy this month.

For those who lost count, that's 302,826 words written together IN 3 HOURS! Your teamwork is astounding. Your word counts are inspiring. ✨🏆✨

Psst I have a rule - when you’re reporting your (always awesome) word counts, you can’t say “only” or otherwise put yourself down. Writing is hard, and every word you get is one you didn’t have before!

Guys, I'm a little concerned. I keep seeing the word 'only' in your reports... that word, and any other that might take away the achievement of the words you have put on the page!

Don't ever feel like you can't catch up. My stats below two NaNos ago - I was ~20K behind on November 28. I caught up! I won! You can do it too.

Cue meaningful quote:
"If I waited for perfection, I would never write a word." Margaret Atwood
Don't wait for the "perfect" moment to start, to write, to edit, to explore your story world. It doesn't exist. The pursuit of perfection is filled w excuses & missed opportunities.
