Kate Cavanaugh Writes | Writing 100,000 words in Q4!? | PREPTEMBER PLANS @KateCavanaugh | Uploaded September 2024 | Updated October 2024, 3 hours ago.
Because of the giant mess that is NaNoWriMo, I've decided to participate in my own writing challenge this Fall! 100,000 words for October, November, and December....do you want to join me?!
0:00 A smidge about the issues surrounding NaNoWriMo & how we got here...
1:36 If I were to create my own Fall writing challenge, I'd make it bigger! Longer! The 100KQ4 Challenge!
3:24 Week 1 of Preptember, vlog style, writing my "pretend query" & finding comp titles!
8:00 What weeks 2, 3, and 4 of Preptember look like for me! Character bios, reverse outlines, oh my!
9:55 Trackers and other fun challenges!
11:14 Vlogs and streams, if you'd like some accountability (or to keep up with how it's going for me, lol)
11:42 Questions for youuuu!
☟↓ QUESTIONS FOR YOU BELOOOOOW! ↓☟
D I S C U S S I O N Q U E S T I O N S :
Do you want to participate in this 100KQ4 Challenge??
Do you have other monthly (or quarterly) challenges you've found that you're excited to participate in next year??
If you were to create your own writing challenge, what would it look like?
L I N K S M E N T I O N E D :
The Pacemaker Planner tracker: https://www.pacemaker.press/
(It allows a couple free projects, so you can test it out that way or only use it during the challenge. I enjoy the flexibility it has, so if you don't want to do 100K or you want to revise or edit by scene or whatever, you can totally do that.)
My incredible patron, Candace, who told me about Pacemaker, also told me about https://trackbear.app/ where you can import your old NaNo progress, in case you'd like to delete your account.
And then here's a link to the Google Sheet I referenced that I used to track multiple projects: docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1_FCBjhcwqo7PRQgsvvB_g-UnVdTw7i1s09l2gmRMUPk/edit?usp=sharing
