Sometimes, it feels like there’s a stigma that when you’re a writer, you need to hate what you’re writing. You need to slave over your work, beating yourself up after every word you write because it’s a torturous process. When people ask about what you’re working on, you have to answer along the lines of “I have this work in progress but it’s not very good and I’m struggling with it” and so on and so forth.
This next piece of advice might rock your world, so hold onto something: you’re allowed to be excited about your work in progress.

Burning out is one of the most tedious experiences a writer can go through. During NaNo season, with the 50k word pressure, it is easy to fall into overworking. So, here are a few quick things you can do to avoid feeling exhausted from writing.
Hello fellow student! It’s the middle of NaNo this year, and whether you feel confident about completing your novel or drowning in deadlines, this article has 15 essential tips for getting through NaNoWriMo with a busy schedule. This article is aimed at college students, but applies to everyone with a busy November.
If you’re participating in NaNoWriMo this year, don’t let me stop you! NaNoWriMo does a lot of good. The writing challenge encourages you to start something new, to follow ideas and brainstorm. And during the challenge, you get the extra motivation to write more than normal. Motivation is great! But there’s a small beef I have with NaNoWriMo, and that’s the word count goal. In this article I bring you four alternative methods to track your progress.
National Novel Writing Month, or NaNoWriMo for short (NaNo for shorter), is meant to put you under a lot of pressure. It is supposed to have you tracking words and hitting seemingly unachievable goals. It’s not burn-out stressful, but it is often healthily stressful and equally rewarding.
It is difficult, productive, and often, a pretty big deal. For many of us, November is when we pen the project we’ve been planning and what we carry on, revise, edit, and rewrite for months. If you’re doing that 50k, it matters a lot — and what you do leading up to it does too. Categories
