2018 will be my seventh (SEVENTH?!) year of doing NaNoWriMo, and I’ve won 3/7 on the main website (or 5/7 if you include my projects with the Young Writer’s Program), so I would say I’m a fairly accomplished veteran of NaNo.
On this page, I’ve collected all of my posts from the past NaNoWriMos if you’re looking for some advice or for someone who also understands the difficulty of writing 50k words in a month! I’ve gone in the order of present -> past here, so scroll down to find some older posts! (And no, some aren’t up yet!)
