					<description><![CDATA[This was my fourth year taking part in NaNoWriMo. And it was the first year I failed to hit the 50k word target. I'm surprised. And I'm kind of not surprised. I mean, I did get a late start on NaNo this year. After getting a few thousand words into a new romance, I decided that wasn't a genre I wanted to think about all month. So]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[NaNoWriMo 2016 is well underway. Plotters have their stories outlined. Pantsers have hit the ground running. And aspiring and experienced novelists alike have that 50k word target in their sights. Today let's talk about the NaNoWriMo writing process -- what we're working on, how we've scheduled our writing time during November, and what tools and resources we use to keep us on track.

					<description><![CDATA[NaNoWriMo has barely started, and I'm already behind this year. I changed my novel idea at the last minute (I believe around 10:00 p.m. the night before). I still haven't finished the scene-by-scene outline, though I hope to by tomorrow morning. And it's now November 3rd and I haven't even begun drafting my novel yet. That seems like a cause for concern, right? But I'm]]></description>

How are you supposed to describe real (or just realistic) locations if you can't show up, meet some locals, and check out similar areas for yourself? Whether you realize it or not, story setting inspiration is right at your fingertips, 24/7. I'm]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[National Novel Writing Month (NaNoWriMo) began yesterday. NaNoWriMo is the annual month-long challenge to write a 50,000 word first draft of a novel. I've only taken part during two years so far, and I've managed to reach my goal both times. I'm hoping to make this year my third. I'm approaching this NaNoWriMo a bit differently than previous years. My goal is to actually hit]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[National Novel Writing Month, or NaNoWriMo, is a little over two weeks away. But if you plan to take part in it this year, you shouldn't wait until November 1st to think about your new manuscript. Instead, use the rest of October for planning and outlining. Then, when NaNoWriMo begins, you'll be ready to jump into your story. How I'm Spending My October Getting Ready]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[It’s no secret that when it comes to tackling large writing projects, I’m a planner. I work from outlines for nearly everything I write (even this blog post). I’ve tried several outlining strategies over the years. And ultimately I’ve taken bits and pieces of each strategy to customize my own process. Last year, I came across someone on the NaNoWriMo forums talking about The Snowflake]]></description>
