60% Milestone Check-in Tomorrow, Tuesday, 11.19

Congratulations Novelists!

We will check your novel progress and look for 60% milestone completion tomorrow, Tuesday, 11.19.

Many of you are making phenomenal progress on your novels. You are writing in class AND at home. You are using ywp.nanowrimo.org to get inspiration, noveling dares, and updating your word count (as well as your goal!)

REALITY CHECK: We have been writing in class every day during November, which by now is a total of 10 days. If you have stayed focused on the process and completed all the preparation for this (Character Freewrite, Character Questionnaire, and Plot Rollercoaster) you should have, at minimum, at least 15-20 pages of writing that is just from our class time. 

To make your word count goal for the month (10,000-15,000, or more if you are ambitious), you MUST write for homework, at least thirty focused minutes a night. 

If you are behind, start creating more mini-writing sessions throughout your day to build your word count. 

Above all, DO NOT GIVE UP!! 
Read some of the great pep talks on ywp.nanowrimo.org to stay inspired.
