How to set goals for NaNoWriMo
NaNoWriMo starts on Saturday!
(on your mark…)
If you’re not familiar with NaNo, NaNoWriMo stands for National Novel Writing Month.

If you make the 50k word goal, you won!
But I’m a NaNo rebel. While I do like Twitter word sprints and inspirational posts, I usually adjust the 50k goal so my body doesn’t putter out with migraines around week two (which it usually does).

Here are my goals (Dream big at this stage—we’re going to edit goals later):
- finish line editing RBRP
which includes Luka’s POV
importing my stack of hard edits - receive and incorporate feedback from my 3 readers
- send to other 3 readers, receive and incorporate feedback
- go over agent list to query
- research self pubbing more (I’ve been really waffling with RBRP on this)
- start drafting TPT—30k
- move back into posting twice a week
