The NaNoWriMo forums are broken up into many topic areas.\u00c2\u00a0 Under Life During NaNo novelists can discuss how well it’s going for them.\u00c2\u00a0 For the novelists in distress there is an area titled “NaNoWriMo Ate My Soul” but what I am really feeling is “NaNoWriMo Ate My Time”!\u00c2\u00a0<\/p>\n
Right now I have about a half dozen posts begun\u00c2\u00a0about NaNoWriMo, writing and book reviews that are just waiting for me to finish them up.\u00c2\u00a0 I even picked out a Story of the Month for November as promised in October!\u00c2\u00a0 This year during NaNoWriMo I’ve learned my most productive writing time is when I do “sprints” or timed writing.\u00c2\u00a0 Something about it frees me from thinking unnecessarily about the words I am writing.\u00c2\u00a0 I don’t\u00c2\u00a0use precious time trying to find the exact word I am looking for.\u00c2\u00a0 Instead I use the first one that comes to mind and move on.<\/p>\n
I think Jamie Grove of How Not To Write<\/a>\u00c2\u00a0had one of the best ideas I’ve seen this month!\u00c2\u00a0 As part of his NaNoWriMo Halo Giveaway, he offered guest posts to all the people that signed up.\u00c2\u00a0 Now that is really thinking outside the box to bring fresh content to his site while he’s working on his novel.\u00c2\u00a0 Kudos to Jamie!\u00c2\u00a0 The guest posts\u00c2\u00a0have\u00c2\u00a0been fun to follow.\u00c2\u00a0 He’s decided to expand it to all year long.\u00c2\u00a0 See the details here<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The NaNoWriMo forums are broken up into many topic areas.\u00c2\u00a0 Under Life During NaNo novelists can discuss how well it’s going for them.\u00c2\u00a0 For the novelists in distress there is an area titled “NaNoWriMo Ate My Soul” but what I am really feeling is “NaNoWriMo Ate My Time”!\u00c2\u00a0 Right now I have about a half… Continue reading Where Has the Time Gone?<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[15,54],"tags":[67],"class_list":["post-593","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-event","category-writing","tag-nanowrimo","entry"],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.amberstults.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/593","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.amberstults.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.amberstults.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.amberstults.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.amberstults.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=593"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"http:\/\/www.amberstults.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/593\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":597,"href":"http:\/\/www.amberstults.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/593\/revisions\/597"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.amberstults.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=593"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.amberstults.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=593"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.amberstults.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=593"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
