My NaNoWriMo: Round 5, Week 1

My NaNoWriMo Round 5 Week 1 via KLWightman.com

We’re only a few days into National Novel Writing Month and I’m already switching up my NaNoWriMo strategy!

November, watch out. Because I have big dreams—and hopefully few obstacles.


Has it really been five years?

If you haven’t noticed, I frequently blog about NaNoWriMo in October and November. If you’re new to my blog, or not familiar with National Novel Writing Month, read this.

Now that November is in full swing, it’s time to renew my annual tradition: Blogging about my NaNoWriMo progress.

But there’s going to be some changes this year.

What’s New For My NaNoWriMo 2017

This season, I plan to step up my game because I plan to:

Too ambitious? Perhaps. Better to set the bar too high than too low!

How I’m Participating in National Novel Writing Month

In years past, I did my own version of National Novel Writing Month where I focused on achieving smaller goals for a writing project instead of aiming for 50,000+ words.

Last year, I went all in and did NaNoWriMo for reals—and won!

After achieving that feat, I felt like I couldn’t go back. It seemed like cheating my readers and myself.

This year, I’m doing it again. I’m going for the big prize!

With some minor changes.

I decided to write a novel in stories that all tie together in the end instead of the traditional hero character arc.

Can I do it? Stay tuned each Friday to learn about my weekly accomplishments, my obstacles and my goals throughout November.

See you next Friday!
