It's October, and NaNo (prep) season is upon us again!
I've attempted every NaNo and Camp NaNo since November 2013. I haven't won every time, but I've always loved it!
- The NaNo community. I think what hooked me in and keeps me coming back, despite NaNo being during final exams for me, is the wonderful and supportive community. I met a few writing buddies last NaNo, and I'm still in touch with them!
- The foundational first draft. It's always a struggle to start a new project, and even more of a struggle to get through it. NaNo really helps you speed through that first draft so you'll have something to revise and perfect later on.
- The pretty graphs. They're motivating. Really. I love updating my word count and seeing it all mapped out, I love seeing my average words a day go up, and my words left go down.
- The sponsor discounts and offers. I bought Scrivener with a NaNo discount, and it would worth every penny!
- It's a lot of fun!
Are you going to do NaNoWriMo this year?
