I got a lot of news, so hear me out, aighty?
A lot of us are losing momentum in the final days of NaNoWriMo, like we just decided to stop writing altogether. Here's the thing: those who give up are those who don't have novels, so never, never, never give up.
If you are having trouble, I will teach you my awesome technique, which I really should have taught earlier. I haven't thought of a cool name for it, but it requires a good-length writing session, say, two hours. It's simple really; it goes like this:
30 minutes of writing. No checking word count. No going to the bathroom. No getting a drink or some food. Fox only. Final Destination.
15 minute break. Check your word count and do what you need here.
30 minutes of power writing like above.
15 minute break
Keep looping these two steps.
???????
PROFIT!!!
Even if you write at a piddly 20 words per minute, you will still muster 600 words per burst of writing. If you wanna know how much writing you'll get done for the day look at how much time you'll devote to writing with this handy list:
2 hours (I got free time!)
3 legs
Low estimate yield: 1800 words
5 hours (I got a while!)
7 legs
Low estimate yield: 4200 words
8 hours (Working a shift)
11 legs
Low estimate yield: 6600 words
11 hours (I got all day!)
15 legs
Low estimate yield: 9000 words
14 hours (I'm the Juggernaut!)
19 legs
Low estimate yield: 11,400 words
You can take advantage of the free time you'll have this long weekend and write the hell out of your novel. It ain't over until December. Don't give up!
But as for those who have already ascended into being above 50k, you should get your novel verified as soon as possible, so you can have that fancy purple bar and printable certificate
The last two years, we hosted a NaNoWriMo Finish Line party, and I wanna do it again this year, but I don't know if I can make it, so hopefully it will happen without me coming in until I can. It should go throughout November 30 in the NaNoWriMo text and voice chats on Discord, until 2 a.m. of December 1, Central Time.Please let me know what you think.

NaNoWriMo 2019: Read a Book.
Here's the last bit of advice before I go off to start my novel, and it's the least brought up out there.
Read a really good book.
It will make you fall in love with literature, with storytelling, and will give you morale and inspiration to write your manuscript. Simple advice, but it goes a long way. So go on, have a good story, so you can make a good story.
I'll try to do NaNoWriMo streams whenever I can. I'll be on YouTube and Twitch, so keep an eye out.
NaNoWriMo 2019: Falling in Love with Your Story
Most of y'all have an idea of what genre of novel you're writing next month. Some are writing a dystopian scifi. Others are writing fanfiction. While others are writing a porn parody*. Well, I have some shock news for every one of you who are doing NaNoWriMo:
You're writing a romantic comedy.
It's a tale about a writing hobbyist who gets thrust into a relationship with a story they barely know about, and over the course of about a month (Or a little more if they're prepping) tries to cope with suddenly being married to this project. What wacky hijinks will ensue?
It's quite difficult to write a novel when you're not in love with it. You ha
Welcome to the New Youtu-- I mean NaNoWriMo 2019!
It's that time of year again, time for me (and some other Walfasers) to throw together a novel in a single month (Starting next month!).
I hopped on the website the other day, and hoo is it bad. The website takes several seconds to load, it's hard to submit information, and they deleted your buddies list. Now we have to re-add each other on the NaNoWriMo website if we want to keep tabs on each other. Hopefully, this won't slow us down in making a novel by the end of November. So roll call! Who's doing NaNoWriMo this year?
I'll try to keep y'all updated on both novel progress and how to get through the website as I find it more. I'll be a lo
NaNoWriMo 2018: Back into the Hype
It's that time of year again. While everyone else is getting spoopy, the real writers stay up at real writer hours to prep for National Novel Writing Month. And a few of us in the Wagon are prepared to write themselves a 50,000-word story through the month of November. So get hype!
So here are the NaNoWriMo porjects for 2018 so far in the Wagon:
(Untitled) by Gii828 (https://www.deviantart.com/gii828) - a Viking period piece about an assassination of a rogue jarl gone awry when one Viking betrays another, and now he must clear his name and get revenge.
Lanes of Chalk by Rumiflan (https://www.deviantart.com/rumiflan) - a contemporary noir mystery with an unexplained paranormal phenomenon messing up the m

To be fair, I haven't given up on the story itself, I've just given up on doing it during NaNoWriMo. I'm working off a theory, that maybe the reason for my lack of momentum is that I'm not done with my first project and it's causing me difficulty with focusing on the project I planned to do.(Also, I did plan for "the fox and the wolf" to be something I work on after LoD)
So, I'm not getting back to that until I'm finished looking back through, revising, editing, fixing certain glaring errors, and finally, FINALLY, figure out the best way I want to continue writing Chapter 18, and how to conclude it so I can move along with the..."conclusion" I guess...
I still plan to continue TFATW, it just won't be this month... On the plus side, I now have a beginning to work from in just 2000+ words ^^
