Now That NaNoWriMo is Over...Now What?

     Now that NaNoWriMo is over I have been watching videos and listening to a lot of people who have stated that they won NaNoWriMo.  My response is CONGRATULATIONS!  As I stated in previous blog entries I did not participate in this event.  But, I am sort of interested in now that NaNoWriMo is over what all of the winners and non-winners will do with what they started and accomplished with the first draft of their manuscript.  (Here is a video discussing this topic).

          I agree with the young woman in the video, now that NaNoWriMo is over you should let your manuscript sit for a month if you are done writing it, if not I hope you continue writing the story that you invested the whole month of November on.  I know a lot of people who participated in NaNoWriMo have the intent of publishing this work in the future, but I also know there are a lot of people who won't do anything with this manuscript.

     If you have every intention of publishing your NaNoWriMo manuscript here is a video explaining how you might want to go about editing your first draft when January 2018' rolls around.

     Here is Part 2 of editing your NaNoWriMo manuscript:

     Whatever you choose to do with your NaNoWriMo manuscript whether you won or didn't the object of this event is to get you moving on your writing and creativity.  So don't just save your writing up for November of every year, but let it continue throughout the New Year.  Good Luck!

     In my next blog article, I am going to discuss the fear of publishing a book.

     So stay tuned!
