Top 5 Ways to Prepare for Nanowrimo

I'm not going to do Nanowrimo this year, because I need to focus on the final rewrite (yeah, right, how many times have I said that) of my current novel. But I'm a huge fan of it and had a blast doing it several years ago, when I "won" by the way. (In case you […]
