Quick Start: Preparing to Write a Novel in a Month

​A writing sprint targeting fifty thousand words in thirty days sounds like a great idea—until about day nine, when the story stalls and life gets in the way. The writers who actually cross the finish line usually aren't the ones with the most free time. They're the ones who came well prepared.

​This romance-focused session is all about getting ready for Sudowrite's Novel November. We'll walk through the tools that help you prep your story before day one, so you're not starting from a blank page on November 1st. Then we'll dig into practical tips and tricks for the part that trips up most writers: staying consistent and keeping your momentum going all month long.

​Whether it's your first month-long challenge or your fifth, you'll leave with a plan for your romance novel and a few strategies for showing up to the page, day after day—right through to the happily-ever-after.
