HOW TO PLAN FOR NANOWRIMO⏳️(MY PLANNING GUIDE) | writing a novel in one month! preptober

Yayyyy!!! First comment! Love your videos! You've helped me so much in my writing journey!

Yesss I need this! I’ve been enjoying the frequent uploads so much (but remember to take a break if u need to <3) and can’t wait to watch ms Ana!!!! My first year doing nano so excited!!!

I’m so torn between “if you don’t start a new book it doesn’t count” and “maybe i should work on the literal 85 books i’m writing, 52 of which are being published next year for nanowrimo”. but… the point is to start a new project. we shall see. we love and appreciate you so much bestie, thank you for this<3

How does your Google Docs look like that? The dashboard looks so pretty, and I was wondering how you did that! <3

THANKS SO MUCH FOR THE REMINDER THAT NOVEMBER IS LITERALLY NEXT MONTH!!! i have to start thinking about projects... I'm unsure as of right now if I can even participate this year, because my inspirations just aren't there and I've so far been under a lot of stress with school work. But, we'll see.

This is so good and inspiring…
I’m currently plotting my novel called “The Worst Sin of All” and I’m already on chapter 6…
Because somehow I’m a night owl and sleep is no foreign now 😂😂

Anyway, I can’t wait to watch more videos about this project… it’s sounds so intriguing ❤️

Ahhh this story sounds so cool! I would love to read it!!:D I love you!!

YAY I LOVE YOU. This is just what I needed!

This literally came at the right time because it will be my first time participating this year! Thank you so much!🫶🏻

Thank you for the tips on how to prep for NaNo 😉 i have already chosen a project I'll work on and am working on brainstorming ideas for it ☺️❤️

Could you mayby do a video on how to start and end a book I can never find the right words!

Lovely video, just one tiny little thing, nothing huge. NaNoWriMo stands for National NOVEL Writing Month. I noticed you put "November" instead, which I can see why people might think that as it does take place in November. Like I said, tiny thing, and an adorable woopsie on your part. Anyways, best of luck with your writing project! :)

Hello, nice writing settup :) What is this website you can create those character profile pics with? I've never seen that before...

Wow~ I actually got excited when I heard your book's plot~ it sounds like a terrific read♡ also this was such a fun video to watch,thank you for uploading stuff like this~☆

good luck and have fun for everyone who is going to write their book in NANOWRIMO!

so excited for nanowrimo. you’ve inspired me to write again! i love your process videos, it really helps me having them on in the background.

kind of random, but what program do you use to edit your videos?

I get so excited each time you post a new video! Your story sounds great and I hope writing it goes well! This is a little off-topic but I'm in love with your room and the anime scattered everywhere!

I'm going to grab an idea I had exactly 3 years ago and actually finish it (hopefully). Lovely video, will definetly tune in for more :)

where did you print your posters? i've been needing posters for my room!!

I really want to do Nanowrimo but I have my mock exams at the end of November so I have to prep for those :(

I like seeing your writing process, and how you're planning for Nanowrimo even though I'm not participating in it. I high-key thought Red would have red hair lol.

This was so much fun to watch❤❤❤

I am SO excited hearing about your project!!!! I would 100% read it, and I honestly really hope you publish it one day so I can!!!!

Also: I am so motivated hearing all about your project and plans! It gives me hope that I can finally win NaNo this year!!!

Hi

So happy theres someone else doing it, Its my first Nanowrimo and I thought it was a good idea to prep. I honestly thought I was supposed to do plotting and character design during Nano but now I realize that is EXTREMELY unrealistic 😭

I just have a question, I was wondering were I should post my novel when im done with it? My mother suggested Amazon (im 14) but I thought Wattpad might be more my target audience, I mean most teenagers don’t buy books on Amazon and I doubt an adult would be interested in my novel.

My novel is kinda enemines to friends to lovers, set in medieval times, the main character is a goody goofy by the book girl and her love interest is a witch who’s race was mass murdered by human kind and is guarded because of trauma. (Its not the most coherent plot because Im still plotting-)

What do you think? This is my first novel and I think posting it on Wattpad would be a little easier to get me going as a writer. Im not really looking for profit and I would feel bad if someone bought my book and didn’t like it. And audience is a big thing for me because this is a teen romance queer novel. I believe that id get more reach there because I know some teenagers might not be allowed to read queer media and they could read it online instead of a physical book. Il

But, if I post it on Wattpad I was concerned if further down the line I would have trouble publishing because of copyright (Although the writer of After got their Harry Styles fanfic into a whole movie franchise)

I don’t know, what are your thoughts?

(Sorry if this is all over the place and hard to understand, its late and my brain isn’t 100%)

Project "ghost" sounds pretty cool. I'm thinking of maybe participating in nanowrimo too this year :)

yay i cannot wait for nanowrimo this was such a cute and helpful vid ana also ur project sounds amazing!! i live in b.c. canada so not too far from alberta 😋 maybe the ghost boys will pay me a visit 🙇‍♀

I really love this video! I never knew the true acronyms for nanowrimo. I thought it was national novel writing month for some reason 😂

Could you do an updated version of how you use art breeder 🥰

I heard NaNoWriMo only requires you to be 13 to participate...

If that's true, I'm totally doing it this time... I thought you had to be oved 18

This plot really seems so intriguing… I have a really strong urge to go out and buy the book lol
I’ll try my best for NaNoWriMo, and I hope you all enjoy it too ☺️

Sounds like you have a solid vision for your story and Nano project. Hope your preptober continues to go well. Best of luck

I would participate in NaNoWriMo but I’m just an (almost)teenager who has a bunch of schoolwork so If I do participate, it’s probably gonna be associated with warrior cats or do it for fun. there’s no way I’m actually going to be finishing a 50k word novel and 1667 words a day. I don’t even have the motivation to do so. . . nor do I know how to plot properly. The only way of getting ideas is to go with the flow, lol. But your videos help a bunch, Ana!

i'm sad that this month will be too busy for me to join nano, but hopefully april's camp nano will be possible for me <3

"I'm a pantser" she says as she makes templates and creates videos for us on plotting, planning, and preping for Nanowrimo 😜🥰 dare I say it, Ana, I think you're at least a plantser 😉 I'm looking forward to the Nano vlogs and good luck on your project! You're definitely way ahead of me; I'm going to have to use that character template to flesh out everyone for my Nano project

I've just joined nanowrimo for the first time, let's see how it goes!

Which version of Artbreeder are you using?

this comment section is full of writers who procrastinate instead of actually writing :")

I was curious about this, but are you okay with others using the guide that you had examples of, because for some reason this feels far more simpler than most of the guides that I use.

Last minute planning for me! I'm working on a fantasy-horror piece about a young witch trying to find the secret to immortality!

Hah! CRUNCH TIME BABY! I've planned nothing~

Was that artbreeder you were using?

It's in the month of November, hence "nanowrimo". 😅

Omg the setting is in my home province :P. There is a small town called Orion where my grandparents grew up. Don't know if you knew about this town or the name is somewhat of a coincidence haha.

Never tried NaNoWriMo before, should I start my first draft now? I want to do a warmup before NaNoWriMo.

You're really inspiring. Thank you.

I tried joining your discord server and it said server expired

Thank you for the inspiration. I have all these ideas but I'm so scared to actually write. You absolutely sparked the fun of writing in me :)
