November is National Writing Month, also known as National Writing Month, and this is the year where I will actually complete my novel. For me, this is going to be a challenge to actually get back into fiction writing. However, for someone who has fallen out of the habit of writing for a while, this is going to be daunting. So, I decided to start preparing for it now. Here’s how:
1. Journal Writing: Writing is writing. Journaling is a great tool for not only writing, but for mental health as well. I’ve been working on trying to be more consistent with my journaling so writing becomes more of a habit.
2. Writing short stories: To get myself back into the practice of writing more fiction, I purchased a book of short story prompts and a notebook to write some short stories. They may not be perfect, but they definitely will help me sharpen my skills in time for November.
3. Mapping Out My Story: Outlining is an essential step of writing, but also one that I slack on. Before I open up that word document on November 1, I want to have as much as I can planned out beforehand. I have been using the Writer’s Workbook, something that I purchased from Amazon, and it has been a great tool to help map out my characters and work on plots and scenes.
