Episode 134: NaNoWritMo for Business Owners Writing Nonfiction

National Novel Writing Month (NaNoWriMo) is a fantastic opportunity for writers to challenge themselves to write a 50,000-word novel in just 30 days in November. It is about pushing your limits and embracing the creative process through dedication, discipline, and a well-thought-out plan. But whether you reach 50,000 words or not, you are making progress toward your writing goals, and that is a success in itself. Despite that, it is a powerful strategy to nurture one’s writing habits and consistency. 

Join me in this episode as we dig deeper into how you can achieve your NaNoWriMo goal. Get insights on building and nurturing your writing consistency and habits. With the right mindset and tools, you can get more done within a month than you can ever imagine. Sound interesting?
