Writing
NaNoWriMo Day 16
In every story there is a journey.
The question is: what form does yours take?
A physical journey across the map? A character’s spiritual journey, or redemption arc? The quick-paced traveling of the plot? Or is it simply a person, showing up on your MC’s doorstep with a suitcase and a globe?
NaNoWriMo Day 15
We’re halfway through! Today we reach a colossal 25,000 words–be proud of yourself.
Fun fact, my first year of NaNo I only started writing on day 15. I was a tiny 9 year old, so I only managed 3,000 words. However, my mom completely smashed the 50k in only two weeks–pretty sure she has superpowers.
Today’s prompt:
It was just a game. Breathe in, bite your tongue and keep walking as far as you can...
Use this excerpt from my own NaNo draft to inspire a scene in your own!
NaNoWriMo Day 14
Today’s prompt is a lost place.
Interpret this as you like.
NaNoWriMo Day 13
Happy Friday the 13th! It’s only fitting that today’s prompt should be a spooky one!
Invent a superstition or old wives’ tale, then have an event occur that makes your character question whether the story is true or not.
Happy writing.
NaNoWriMo Day 12
Anyone else’s character just get abandoned in the middle of the woods with a gunshot wound to the knee? No? Just me?
Today’s prompt:
A graveyard and a shovel.
Because we all have stakes. What is main character risking?
NaNoWriMo Day 11
We’re just over a third of the way through!
So how well does your character do with crowds? Happy crowds? Angry crowds? Or is the crowd only in their mind?
NaNoWriMo Day 9
Mondays. Need to catch up on my word count, read many things for my masters degree, and now self isolate for 12 days. Does that mean I’ll get more writing done? Probably not.
Today’s prompt:
Set a scene in a place with extreme weather, but don’t use any weather-related words to describe it.
Have fun!
NaNoWriMo Day 8
Writing can be exhausting–putting word after word down and continuously checking your word count in the hope that it will magically jump up a couple hundred.
Maybe time for some adrenaline?
What makes your character’s heart beat faster? Do they love it or hate it? Will they take the leap of faith anyway?
NaNoWriMo Day 7
Whoops, completely forgot to post a prompt yesterday. I also only managed a measly 1,000 words. But some days are like that. Don’t feel bad for missing a day! It happens.
Today’s prompt:
Write about someone experiencing the ‘overview effect’ (the feeling astronauts report having when they first see Earth from outer space).
Note: your character doesn’t have to be in outer space.
