My New & Improved NaNoWriMo Prep Guide

My New & Improved NaNoWriMo Prep Guide | Writing Between Pauses

Last year, I shared my NaNoWriMo prep guide in this blog post about planning NaNoWriMo when you work. (It’s also available on my freebies page, along with pretty much every other printable and guide I’ve ever made.)

As I’ve been preparing for NaNoWriMo this year myself, way later than usual, of course, I found myself turning to my own guide and making small changes that have made a huge difference in my planning.

2020 NaNoWriMo guide to prep

Here’s what has changed:

  • The design: pages are now easier to print out and read, as well as write all your notes

  • A New Goals Page

  • Brainstorming pages for ideas, names, motivations, and more

  • Improved outlining pages that let you map out your stories climactic scenes

I’ve been having so much fun recreating my NaNoWriMo guide. Even better, this guide is not gated (no signing up for my mailing list to receive it!)—however, starting January 1, it will be removed and only available for purchase! I’d love to know your thoughts if you download it… which you can do so HERE:

Thank you again! Happy NaNoWriMo—it’s getting close.
