It’s almost April, and that can only mean one thing: #CampNaNoWriMo is coming! Whether you’re attempting it for the first time or the sixth time or not at all, in preparation for next month, I thought I’d dig into my archives and share some lessons learnt from my first experience with the less stressful, more flexible version of National Novel Writing Month.
When I introduced my #NaNoWriMo novel in the first part of this link-up, I did not realise there would be follow up questions. But what better time to answer these than halfway through the month when I am literally a ball of stress!?
It’s the first day of #NaNoWriMo and I am obviously writing a post about my novel instead of actually writing my novel. If you’re also taking part this year, you can add me as a buddy through this link! I honestly have no idea how far I’ll get but I’m trying to stay positive. I got this, and so do you!
Originally written for my Creative Writing workshop in response to a photo prompt, and later entered, shortlisted and published in the Wicked Young Writer Awards 2017 anthology.
JUNE 23, 2017 – Apollo Victoria Theatre, London. Home to the hit musical Wicked and host of the prestigious Wicked Young Writer Awards ceremony. Now in its seventh year of celebrating young writers, this was the first in which I entered so I could not have been more surprised or pleased at getting shortlisted.
