I've never written a novel, I don't normally have the attention span or really an idea that I feel needs to be longer than a short story. But I've had this idea for a little while now for a novel and I figured I might as well crank it out in November. Any tips on how to prepare to write it? How do you guys go about it? Anyone else participating this year? Let me know :)
Haven't participated myself but I find whenever I get in the writing mood, however rare it may be for me, the best thing to do is to just write. Don't read it, don't edit it, just write out until you don't feel like writing any more. And then stop, go back the next day, read, revise, and write some more. You may not write the best story for NWM, but anything is better than nothing!
