NaNoWriMo is a yearly trek into novel writing. You must write a minimum of 50,000 words in the month of November.<br />
<br />
It's a great exercise. Average 1700 words per day. It's a great commitment...but, a rewarding accomplishment.<br />

I write first and foremost, plot when I need to. I have found that writing an original short story once a week, using an ancillary character and events outside of my main storyline, keeps the characters sharp and fresh in my mind. I think of it as my secret weapon. A chance to step away from the novel du jour and still keep moving forward.Of course, I do have the main character and all of his extended family in a fairly complex genealogy. But that has developed itself through the writing of…

This November...sign up for NaNoWriMo. It is a wonderful discipline for writers. I sold last year's effort. When you're on a roll, do not stop. Write (ride) it to the end.<br />
<br />
Write everyday. That's it...all there is to it.<br />

Every writer has to find his/her own way, Carole. There's no right or wrong way to write a book. Methods vary greatly, but when you get down to it I think Stephen King said it best: Books are written one word at a time. That might not seem like much help, but that's really all there is to it.<br />
<br />
Keep writing, one word at a time, and your unique voice and method will emerge. Writing books and tips on the internet are useful sometimes, but don't take any of them as gospel. Only you can decide the…
