The Writer's Armoury: 6 Links to Help You Defeat Camp NaNoWriMo




Camp NaNoWriMo is almost upon us, and if you, like me, are taking up the challenge, then chances are that you’re in the middle of last minute preparations. Maybe you’re finishing up plotting, like I am, or you’re clearing away a TBR pile, or putting the finishing touches to the edits of another book. There are many things to be done to make Camp NaNoWriMo a little easier. Today I’d like to share a few useful links that hopefully might help your Camp go a little smoother.

Willa @Willa Nicole Scribblings has a post on five unusual ways to get over writers block. 

Sophie @The Techno Maid has a great video with tips and tricks to help you make it through Camp NaNoWriMo 

@Go Teen Writers has two great posts on motivating yourself to write. Stephanie Morrill has five tips to help you keep going to the end of your book. Guest poster Katherine Grubb has seven tips to help you carve out the time and space to work on your book.

Laura Mizvaria @Writer Owl has an awesome post listing eleven websites for writers. There are name generators, inspiring Pinterest profiles and many more helpful sites.

Imogen @Gossiping with Dragons (hey wait, that’s me!) has a post on three ways to motivate yourself


These are a few of the useful posts I’ve found. Now it’s your turn. Link me to some posts you’ve found helpful. Are you taking part in Camp NaNoWriMo?

  3. Hi Immy!
    Thanks for the links!! Sadly I couldn't find any but I have a little tip: music. Listen to a song that resembles your story. I love listening to the Frozen Radio.

    1. Oh yes, music is a big help. I've been noting down music that suits my Camp NaNo idea, so hopefully when I lose inspiration and motivation, that will help me. Thanks for the tip!

  4. I'm terrified... NaNo starts in two days and I'm not ready! Hopefully the links will help me gear up!

    1. I'm not ready either! I always have trouble when it comes to planning. You can do it though Morning. Even if you have quite got everything ready, just go with it. You'll be surprised what you come up with.

    1. It's definitely good to stay motivated. The good thing about writing advice is that it can be used at any other time of year or season of writing too.
