Write a novel in 30 days - or have fun trying.
Every year, thousands of people 'win' NaNoWriMo. In other words, they manage to write 50,000 words in 30 days during the month of November. What's their secret? How do they write a book so quickly? Are they crazy? The answers to those questions are: you're about to find out, they break it into small steps, and yes, possibly. If you'd like a guide to winning at NaNoWriMo, from a published novelist, you're in the right place. I've deliberately kept this course short because if you're doing NaNoWriMo, you'll want to get going as quickly as possible. Please note, this course is unofficial and not affiliated to NaNoWriMo. Want to find the time for NaNoWriMo? I'll see you inside the course.

I've published two novels with Headline Review,The Water’s Edge and The Haven Home for Delinquent Girls , and I've been teaching for 25 years. I've also published a book on time management, a short story collection and several writing guides. I help creative people find time to write amongst the hectic-ness of everyday life.
I want to thank you for creating this free course because it's the shot in the arm that I needed.
I have been a pantser writer for all of my life, which serves me well with writing things like blogs but not with my novel attempts. I have started 5 or 6 different novel ideas in the last 20 years. Problem is, I get stuck, lose inspiration, and give up. Since I'm a very busy person I would just write when I felt like it or had the time, which of course was not very often.
I recently decided I was going to try the NaNoWriMo technique during the month of July (next month). I found your course and it has given me the tools as well as the confidence that I can really do this. I am starting the planning of the novel today and will be getting started promptly on 7/1. Hopefully by this time next year (2024), you'll see my name on a bestseller list. Thank you again!
Magnificent!
I love the way that you provide An important information by a simple and very short video format!
Thanks for all the tips writing a novel in fast tempo.
REALLY enjoyed this course! She provides a lot of practical advice and resources that I’m planning on using in my own writing!
The course is very good, it has techniques that every writer needs and as soon as I started to implement them it evolves in terms of writing, because I learned to be more ruled in the time I dedicate myself to write, every writer should challenge himself to try to make Nanowrimo.
informative with lot of helpful practical tips. Thanks Louise.
