National Novel Writing Month (NaNoWriMo) is an annual creative writing project that takes place during the month of November. The challenge is to write a 50,000-word novel in just 30 days. Now this may sound like a steep challenge and you’re thinking “That’s over 100 pages of text! Now, why would I try this challenge?”. Well, many authors use this as a prescription to cure writers block and get their creative author brain back into business.
If you love storytelling but struggle to organize your ideas every year for NaNoWriMo, let us take the stress out of writing your novels. Make this National Novel Writing Month easier by creating your own custom writing journal in advance to have a place where you can note all your plot ideas, character sketches, and neatly organize your novel so you know it’s ready to go.
A personalized writing journal will save you time when it comes to writing the novel and can help you stay on track to reach your NaNoWriMo writing goals. All journals make a meaningful keepsake within your creative journey, whether you’re drafting cozy mysteries, planning thrilling adventures, or sketching heartfelt memoirs.
