100 Ways to Win NaNoWriMo

Is there a novel inside you that needs to get out? If you are a writer who's up for a challenge, National Novel Writing Month is an annual fiction-writing experience that dares you, along with thousands of fellow writers around the world, to complete a 50,000-word novel in just thirty days. 

But winning takes more than just creative stamina. Here are the tips, tricks, and hacks that will help you cross that finish line. Veteran novelist and multiple NaNoWriMo winner Gail Hulnick, shares what it takes to come out on top in this fiction-writing marathon. How to prepare, how to pace yourself, how to win the multitude of badges, and, most importantly, how to finish.

In 100 Ways to Win NaNoWriMo, you'll find insights into time management, self-discipline, writing skills, and improving your craft. The book also includes two daily journals that the author kept during her NaNoWriMo experiences, two selections from the multiple outlines she created while writing her novel Sleeping Dogs Lie (a novel that is a finalist for a Royal Palm Literary Award from the Florida Writers Association), a seven-step preparation checklist, and recommendations for books, blogs, and podcasts that the aspiring novelist can consult while doing their own novel-writing month.
