A Can-o-NaNo

It's begun! In our first episode of NaNo proper, I talk to Dani Hayden. We discuss Dani's project for this year, planning out the month by story beat, and picking a point of view and tense. Tune in next week, Monday Nov 4th, when we should be at 6,668 words.

Advice from this episode:

• Plan each day in November by story beat to stay on track with both word count and story
• Keep things simple if possible. Write what you know, with places you know 
• Do something completely different from a current, ongoing project to make it fun and exciting
• Arrange to get minor goals. Finish a scene. Earn a badge on the NaNo Website. Beat a 4theWords monster. 
• Make use of the NaNo twitter community for word sprints and motivation
