Want to write a book? 

Well, how does having a first draft written in thirty days sound? I have done this for years, written 8 first drafts, and three of these books are published. I have learned a few things that help me win every time I've participated. 

Let me teach you how I do it!

What does 'winning' mean? It means you write 50,000 words in 30 days, the minimum number that the good people of NaNoWriMo say is required to for your book to be considered a novel.

Have you been writing your book for years, with not much to show for it? 

That was me. And then, I found National Novel Writing Month, or NaNoWriMo for short. I discovered that the structure provided helps me turn my writing into an actual first draft of a book. 

Now I have years of experience writing the first draft of my books during  NaNoWriMo and I want to share this tool with you!

I discovered structure is my friend. Maybe it's yours, too! 

Every year in November, a lot of people start NaNoWriMo, but not everyone finishes ('wins'). You can be one of the proud writers in the 'win' group.

Why would you want to do this? 

Because nothing feels as amazing as you getting to tell people that you're writing your book, and then actually doing it. 

But the best reason is: 

Because if you win NaNoWriMo, you will have written the first draft of your book and you will be one giant step closer to your finished, published novel.

You can do it, too! 

Let me teach you some of the ways that have helped me succeed. If you do the work, you can succeed, too, and maybe this time next year you will have your first draft written. 

And who knows? Maybe that will be the year you publish your first novel! 

Here's the bottom line: 

Winning NaNoWriMo is a great tool to get you closer to being a published author.
