Why You Won NaNoWriMo (even if you didn’t)
Okay, okay, I know, you may not have technically written 50,000 words this November. Maybe you decided not to NaNo at all. But if you wrote some words, if you even thought about your book, I think that’s a victory.
I've Learned All the Things, So Why Can't I Write a Book?
What do you do when you've spent years taking tons of online writing classes and conferences and workshops, reading craft books, listening to podcasts, reading blogs, watching YouTube vids, buying plotting software, and trying everything to figure out what your actual process is for plotting a novel--without much luck?
How To Write When You’re Depressed

In order to win NaNoWriMo, you have to write 50,000 words. Sometimes, this is an excellent way to power through drafting a new story. Other times, it’s a recipe for disaster.
It takes a lot of preparation, energy, and support to write 1,667 words every day of November, and sometimes, it’s just not possible.
When life derails our lofty writer goals, it’s easy to feel like a failure, but that’s just super unhelpful, so I want to invite you to think about NaNoWriMo differently.
