Description
Whether you’re doing NaNoWriMo, Camp NaNo, or just your own personal writing sprint, attempting to write a novel (or significant chunk of one) in 30 days is equal parts exhilarating and terrifying. The first week is great — you’re inspired, the words are flowing, you’re ahead of schedule. Then Week Two hits and suddenly your plot makes no sense, your characters are doing things you didn’t plan, and you’re 3,000 words behind. By Week Three you’re either in a groove or in a ditch. This planner is designed to keep you in the groove. Inside you’ll find a pre-sprint preparation section for outlining, character sketching, and world-building before Day 1, daily pages with word count targets, scene planning space, and ‘today’s writing challenge,’ a ‘Week Two Survival Guide’ (because Week Two is where dreams go to die), a ‘Saggy Middle Intervention’ protocol, daily and weekly word count trackers with visual progress bars, emergency motivation pages for the days you want to quit, a ‘Sprint Partner’ accountability system, a mid-month plot rescue toolkit, and a post-sprint plan for what to do with your draft when the 30 days are over (hint: put it in a drawer for at least two weeks). L.A. has completed numerous writing sprints and coached hundreds of writers through them. This planner is everything she wishes she’d had during her first one.
